what is the leading source of energy used in china?
coal
in a worst-case scenario where incremental electricity demand would be met exclusively with coal, a 2009 study conducted by the world wide fund for nature and izes found that a mid-size ev would emit roughly , compared with an average of for a gasoline-powered compact car. this study concluded that introducing 1 million ev cars to germany would, in the best-case scenario, only reduce emissions by 0.1%, if nothing is done to upgrade the electricity infrastructure or manage demand. a more reasonable estimate, relaxing the coal assumption, was provided by massiani and weinmann taking into account that the source of energy used for electricity generation would be determined based on the temporal pattern of the additional electricity demand (in other words an increase in electricity consumption at peak hour will activate the marginal technology, while an off peak increase would typically activate other technologies). their conclusion is that natural gas will provide most of the energy used to reload ev, while renewable energy will not represent more than a few percent of the energy used.

bhutan's first step into renewable energy was hydroelectric power. they first started by opening the first hydroelectric power plant in chukha in 1986. they now have three more plants open: kurichhu (2001), basochhu (2005), and tala (2009). currently approximately 70% or 4.4 million tons of the hydroelectric power bhutan produces is exported to india. despite efforts to expand the types of renewable energy used in bhutan, hydroelectric power is still the leading source of clean energy in the nation.
