As the impact of climate change becomes increasingly prominent, how to ensure energy security and support economic development while adhering to low-carbon development is an important issue this year. The theme of this conference is Green, Low-carbon Transition, Promoting high-quality development.
The challenges of green and low-carbon transition are daunting
Climate change is a serious challenge facing all mankind. The installed wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation ranks first in the world. China has successfully launched the national carbon market with the largest global footprint of greenhouse gas emissions.
We will vigorously develop renewable energy
In recent years, the installed scale of wind power and solar power generation ranks first in the world, and the proportion of power generation increases steadily. The rapid development of new energy has gradually reduced the proportion of fossil energy. We will continue to identify and address key issues in the energy transition, propose economically and technically feasible solutions, accelerate the large-scale utilization of clean energy, and strengthen the interaction between energy supply measurement and demand side, so as to build a new energy system that is more resilient and achieve a win-win situation for both transformation and development.
Achieving the dual-carbon goal is the only way to follow the trend of green development and promote high-quality and sustainable economic and social development. The realization of the dual-carbon goal is a complex systematic engineering and a decades-long scientific transformation process, which requires in-depth management innovation, scientific and technological innovation, financial support and enterprise participation, and the maintenance of strategic focus.
We will promote the construction of a new electric power system
Low-carbon development is actually an energy revolution, which will transform the current carbon-based energy system dominated by fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas into a zero-carbon energy system, with renewable energy as the main source. Therefore, the future energy mix and energy use should strive to achieve full electrification and use electricity as an alternative fuel as much as possible. The core task of this is the construction of rural new energy system, because it is not only a zero-carbon fuel provider, but also a pioneering attempt of new distributed and self-regulated power generation, so it should be the starting point of China's energy revolution.
Grasp the rational path of coal power transformation
Under the background of the two-carbon goal, the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body has become the development trend of the electric power industry, and the positioning of the future development of coal power will also undergo a major change. In the near-term transition, whether corporate or technological, a common goal is to reduce the use of coal for power generation. Therefore, in order to effectively support the transformation of coal power, it is necessary to reform the market mechanism and system operation management mechanism, especially to further refine the electricity market products and reflect the contribution and value of various technologies or market players in ensuring the safe and stable operation and reliable supply of electricity.
