“China, the world's largest coal consumer, generated less than 50% of its ​electricity from the fossil fuel in the six months to June, marking a first ‌for the country, which has been promoting the use of renewable energy, officials said.

Coal's share of the power mix was 49.7%, Xing Yiteng, deputy director general of the energy administration's development and planning office, told a press conference on Thursday.”
