The defossilization of our energy system is the biggest transformation of our economic-technological base since the invention of the steam engine and the start of massive burning of fossil fuel. It is urgent, required, and worldwide. And it brings up an interesting historical experiment: The observable competition between market-liberal systems like in the U.S. and the E.U. and a centralized economical administration body (with slight limited market functionality boosters) in China. Which system will score better in the achievement of the goals of CO2 net neutrality – or even drive invention so far to become CO2 negative? Given that the western model claims to produce the most innovative ideas, it has to deal with a multiplicity of venues, which often redundantly consume short resources, while a centralized executional model – despite not hitting the decision optimum – might be in a better position to utilize resources with less redundancy (but maybe more overhead), the next years might be interesting to watch. What we see this year: That 83% of global new energy production capacity built in 2022 has been build as renewable energy supply, with 47,8% of this higher-than-last-year-figure being located in China. That in Germany in the beginning of 2023 far more wind generation has been permitted than ever before. That in the west an interest for carbon removal technologies arose, while hardly equivalent research or commercial projects are heard about from China. The next years are going to be interesting, and might keep economical philosophers occupied for years analyzing the different approaches to the transformation.
