China News Service, Yancheng, November 16 (Reporter Gu Hua) The Sino-European Offshore Wind Power Industry Cooperation and Technology Innovation Forum with the theme of "China-Europe Offshore Wind Power Cooperation Helps Carbon Peak Carbon Neutrality" was held in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province on November 16.
Ren Jingdong, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said in his opening speech that China and the EU have significant complementary advantages in the energy sector, especially in new energy, and the prospects for cooperation are broad.
It is hoped that all parties will continue to deepen policy and information exchanges, strengthen exchanges in the areas of China-Europe offshore wind power planning, policies, technology, standards, and business models, and promote cooperation intentions and results.
At the same time, we will continue to strengthen cooperation in technology and innovation, seize key opportunities for industrial upgrading, give full play to their respective advantages, and jointly promote breakthroughs in offshore wind power technology.
Hu Guangjie, Deputy Governor of the People’s Government of Jiangsu Province, said: “As of the end of 2020, Jiangsu’s cumulative installed capacity of renewable energy reached 37.38 million kilowatts, of which 5.73 million kilowatts of offshore wind power grid-connected installed capacity, ranking first in the country for many consecutive years; In the offshore wind power industry chain, the province’s offshore wind power industry output value will reach approximately 100 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) in 2020, ranking first in the country."
Fu Weien, Counselor for Energy and Climate Action at the EU Delegation to China, said that the EU and China, as the main signatories of the Paris Agreement, have actively participated in various global efforts to limit the adverse effects of climate change. Both the EU and China have chosen a carbon-free path.
In order to achieve their respective goals, Europe and China must develop new low-carbon energy sources and actively promote the deployment of relevant innovative technologies.
Gu Hongbin, deputy dean of the General Institute of Hydropower and Water Conservancy Planning and Design, revealed at the meeting that as of September this year, China’s offshore wind power installed capacity has exceeded 13 million kilowatts. Driven by accelerating energy transition and achieving carbon neutrality, China’s offshore wind power will be maintained for a long time in the future. Rapid development trend.
Yancheng, where the event is held, is one of the prefecture-level cities with the largest installed scale of offshore wind power and the most complete industrial chain in China.
Cao Lubao, secretary of the Yancheng Municipal Party Committee, said that Yancheng is striving to build a tens of millions of kilowatts of offshore wind power demonstration bases.
"By 2025, the scale of Yancheng's new energy installed capacity will reach 20 million kilowatts, of which the offshore wind power installed capacity will exceed 11 million kilowatts; the scale of the new energy equipment manufacturing industry will reach more than 200 billion yuan, of which the offshore wind power equipment manufacturing will strive to reach 100 billion kilowatts. ."
It is understood that this event, as a flagship event for strengthening Sino-European wind power cooperation, provides an important platform and a long-term mechanism for China and the EU to discuss the road to offshore wind parity prices, the construction of tens of thousands of kilowatts of offshore wind power bases, and the construction of deep ocean demonstration projects. It has important practical significance.
