Lauri Myllyvirta's analysis for Carbon Brief, based on export, grid and manufacturing-emissions data, finds China's 2026 exports of solar panels, batteries and EVs are on track to avoid about 450MtCO2 abroad, nearly 2% of global emissions outside China — comparable to Brazil's annual fossil-fuel emissions. The impact grew 26% year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2026, after growing 36% in 2025 and up from just a 1% cut estimated for 2024 exports.
