It is a tough battle to achieve the peak of carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality. The ninth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Committee held recently emphasized that China's efforts to achieve the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 are a major strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee after careful consideration, which is related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the construction of human destiny.
According to the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China's hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic and nuclear power installed capacity under construction remained the first in the world; By the end of 2020, the installed capacity of clean energy power generation has increased to 65.438+0.83 billion kilowatts, surpassing the installed capacity of coal-fired power generation for the first time, accounting for about 49.2% of the total installed capacity, and a diversified clean energy supply system has been initially established.
Despite this, the task of carbon emission reduction in the energy and electricity fields is still arduous. The data show that energy combustion is the main source of carbon dioxide emissions in China, accounting for about 88% of all carbon dioxide emissions, and power industry emissions account for about 4 1% of energy industry emissions.
Developing renewable energy is an important measure to promote energy transformation. In response to the implementation of renewable energy substitution action mentioned at the meeting, the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration said that it will promote the large-scale, high-proportion and market-oriented development of renewable energy, increase the proportion of renewable energy in energy and electricity consumption, and make renewable energy the main body of China's primary energy consumption increase during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.
Background of carbon neutral policy:
We should thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress, fully implement the idea of ecological civilization, conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, unswervingly implement the new development concept, and comprehensively carry out green planning, green design, green investment, green construction, green production, green circulation, green life and green consumption.
On the basis of efficient use of resources, strict protection of ecological environment and effective control of greenhouse gas emissions, we will promote high-quality development and high-level protection as a whole, establish and improve the economic system of green and low-carbon circular development, ensure the peak of carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, and push China's green development to a new level.
