flag China’s renewable energy sector, led by CHN Energy, is scaling recycling to manage massive decommissioning of solar and wind equipment by 2050.

flag By March 2025, China’s wind and solar capacity exceeded 1.48 billion kilowatts, surpassing thermal power, but aging equipment now faces large-scale decommissioning. flag By 2050, up to 20 million tonnes of solar panels and 3 million tonnes of wind turbine blades may need recycling. flag CHN Energy, operating nearly 120 million kilowatts of renewable capacity, is leading efforts with a kiloton-scale solar panel recycling line launched in October 2025 and a Zhangjiakou facility set to open in 2026 with annual processing capacity over 10,000 tonnes. flag The company has helped establish 17 industry standards and a national committee on equipment reuse, promoting a closed-loop, sustainable model for renewable energy’s full lifecycle.
