By 2030, that picture could change — but only barely for some technologies. China is expected to more or less maintain its share of solar module manufacturing over the coming years, while IEA projects it will grow its share of wind nacelle manufacturing to more than 70 percent. Heat pumps are the one technology where China is expected to lose its leading share of manufacturing in the years ahead.

The main driver of that decline will be the power sector, where emissions are expected to plummet over the next decade as more and more wind, solar, and storage projects plug into the grid. Transportation is the next biggest contributor. Rhodium Group forecasts the sector — currently the biggest source of carbon emissions in the U.S. — will cut its emissions by about 23 percent between 2022 and 2035. The industrial sector’s outlook is far less optimistic.
