Abstract:
Global warming and climate change have shifted the focus of industrial development towards low-carbon renewable energy. Therefore, this paper mainly analyzes the progress of renewable energy generation in China and its correlations with GDP growth, CO2 emissions reduction as well as the policy support. First, an overall review of renewable energy in China has been conducted. Then based on a realization about the status of renewable energy resource, a discussion about reasons behind the development of RE generation is given. After that, we studied the links between the development of renewable energy, real GDP growth rate and CO2 emissions, and argue that the growth of renewable energy generation, GDP growth and policy support are strong linked. Meanwhile, the contribution of renewable energy to reduce CO2 is not significant and this phenomenon will last for a long time. At last, some recommendations for the future development of renewable energy generation are proposed.

Key Word:
