Low-carbon industry investments heavily favor Chinese companies.

Low-carbon industrial projects have seen a significant surge in funding, with 19 such initiatives securing investments totaling $43 billion over the past six months, mostly concentrated in China according to recent data released on Monday.

Between November and April, 13 projects reached a final investment milestone, with the majority located in China, where investments spanned various sectors including methanol and aluminum production, whereas just one such project was initiated in the United States.

Compared to last year's eight funded initiatives, nineteen projects are now receiving investment support this time around.
