Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air

The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) is a research organization that analyzes trends in energy production, consumption, and air pollution, with a particular focus on China, India, and the European Union. CREA's recent analyses are newsworthy due to significant shifts in global energy markets and the increasing urgency of climate action. Recent reports highlight that China's clean energy sector drove most of its investment growth last year and that coal power generation has fallen in both China and India for the first time since the 1970s. CREA also reported that wind and solar overtook fossil fuels in EU power generation in 2025. These findings are relevant to discussions about China's potential to profit from the global energy transition, the impact of geopolitical tensions on energy supplies, and the overall progress of the global shift towards cleaner energy sources. CREA's data informs policy and public discourse on these critical issues.
