Green energy development 'boundless'

Push carbon to peak with scratch iron

To achieve carbon peak, carbon neutrality is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change, the "14th Five-Year Plan" is the key period of carbon peak, the window period, how to take out the strength to grasp the iron mark solid progress?

"By 2030, the primary energy consumption ratio of non-fossil energy sources will reach about 25%, and the total installed capacity of wind power and solar energy will reach more than 1.2 billion kilowatts. These two goals are very difficult and we must accomplish them." Zhang Jianhua said that the National Energy Administration will set more aggressive new energy development targets and accelerate the development of wind and solar power. At the same time, it is necessary to develop hydropower in accordance with local conditions, actively and orderly develop nuclear power under the premise of ensuring safety, and accelerate the construction of pumped storage, new energy storage and other regulatory power sources, enhance the flexible regulation capacity of the power system, and vigorously increase the level of new energy consumption.

To achieve peak carbon neutrality, we should take the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development as the lead, and it is crucial to promote green energy use models in key areas and even the whole society. "We will adopt more stringent energy consumption standards and support the replacement of non-fossil energy and the change of energy use in key industries and sectors such as industry, construction and transportation." Zhang Jianhua pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the development of green energy models such as new energy vehicles, building photovoltaic integration, and accelerate the replacement of electric energy in heating and cooking energy, improve the level of electrification of the whole society, and achieve the goal of reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP by 13.5% compared with 2020 by 2025, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 18% compared with 2020.

According to reports, the National Energy Administration is studying the path and task measures to promote the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality in the energy field, while grasping the connection work of the national and provincial "14th Five-Year Plan" energy planning, implementing the goals of renewable energy consumption responsibility weight, energy conservation and carbon peak into the planning, giving full play to the leading role of planning, compacting carbon emission reduction responsibilities at all levels. Support places where conditions permit to take the lead in achieving carbon peaking.
