@creacleanair.bsky.social🚗📈NEV production still expanded despite a weaker domestic auto market, with output up 21.9% YoY in August and NEVs accounting for 61% of all vehicles produced. Export growth more than doubled both in August and over the first 8 months
@creacleanair.bsky.social🔋☀️📈 Clean-tech manufacturing remained strong: battery production surged 70% YoY, while solar cell output in the first 8 months of the year stayed on track to top the 2025 global installation level, despite a contraction in August
@creacleanair.bsky.social🔥📈Thermal power additions accelerated sharply in 2026, reaching 50.3 GW in the first 7 months, up 20% YoY and the highest level for the period in 15 years ☀️🍃📉Nationally, solar and wind installations slowed from last year’s exceptionally high levels
@creacleanair.bsky.social🛢️📉Fossil fuel supply remained subdued in August, with coal production and imports both falling YoY and oil & gas imports staying well below 2025 levels. Refinery throughput recovered from July’s slump but was still down 6.9% YoY
@creacleanair.bsky.social🏗️📉Cement production fell by 12%, crude steel output by 4%, and refinery throughput by 7%
@creacleanair.bsky.social🔥📉Thermal power generation fell 4% YoY as solar and wind covered all growth in electricity demand; hydropower & nuclear generation also increased
