China’s solar and wind energy capacity increased by 74% and 34%, respectively, in 2015, while coal consumption dropped by 3.7%.

China’s National Bureau of Statistics released figures for 2015 this week, and officials believe that the country’s current growth path will allow them to soon surpass their carbon emissions targets. Specifically, China broke two new records in 2015, installing a record 32.5% of wind in 2015, and a record 18.3 GW of solar in 2015 — both of which were higher than initial estimates.

The German company Daimler AG will be putting $500 million into the creation of a second lithium-ion battery production facility in Germany, according to recent news from the company. This new facility will produce lithium-ion batteries to be used in electric vehicles and hybrids released under the Mercedes-Benz brand, reportedly.

The decision to build the new facility will lead to a, roughly, tripling of Daimler subsidiary Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE’s production space. The new production facility will be located adjacent to the existing one, in Kamenz, Germany. Daimler has already bought around 20 hectares of land next to the other facility, in anticipation of construction.
