China News Service, Xining, December 3 (Reporter Sun Rui) Qinghai Provincial People’s Government-Beijing Normal University Institute of Plateau Science and Sustainable Development (hereinafter referred to as "High Technology Academy") related experts said on the 3rd that the development of traditional energy and clean A comparative study of the ecological environment and carbon risks of energy development has outstanding practical needs. It is necessary to further increase the investment and construction of China's UHV "high-speed power grid" to increase the transmission capacity and proportion of renewable energy.
According to Shi Peijun, president of Qinghai Normal University, dean of the Academy of Science and Technology, and academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, the total carbon emissions of China's Yellow River Basin account for one-third of the country.
"Traditional energy construction has a high carbon emission intensity and has a significant impact on the ecosystem. How to weigh the environmental, ecological and carbon risks of'traditional energy and clean energy' has become an important scientific basis for the choice of sustainable development strategies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."
According to media reports, the survey shows that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau's water, solar, and wind energy technologies can be developed at about 4.4 billion kilowatts, while the current development ratio is only about 2%. By 2030, it is expected that the total installed capacity of renewable energy power generation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will be increased. About 120 million kilowatts, about 500 billion kilowatts of new power generation, and 320 million tons of new carbon dioxide emissions.
According to the latest research and countermeasure studies, Qinghai has a good foundation for building a national clean energy industrial highland. The development of new energy has improved the surface ecological environment of the construction area, especially the hydropower construction reservoir area has also significantly improved the climate conditions of the small area, and protect The plateau permafrost carbon sink has been prevented, and the plateau land degradation, soil erosion and desertification have been prevented and controlled.
"The country's construction of a national clean energy industrial highland in Qinghai is obviously restricted by the backwardness of the local economy. Local government and private investment are obviously insufficient. National investment must be increased to create a more relaxed investment environment for a large number of private investment." Shi Peijun said.
