The Information Office of the State Council published the white paper "China's Energy Development in the New Era" on the 21st, and held a press conference to introduce and interpret the white paper.
A reporter asked at the meeting that in the context of an increasingly complex energy security environment, how does China balance energy security guarantees with a clean and low-carbon transition?
In this regard, Zhang Jianhua pointed out that at present, China has become the world's largest energy producer and also the world's largest energy consumer.
With the development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and new stage, it is necessary to ensure high-quality economic and social development. Energy supply security must not only keep up and satisfy, but also improve quality and increase effects. Especially at present, global energy The pace of low-carbon transformation is accelerating, and energy security is facing new situations and new challenges.
"We will thoroughly study and implement the new energy security strategy, insist on accelerating the transformation and development in the security guarantee, strengthen scientific planning and overall coordination." Zhang Jianhua said, first, we must increase the clean development and utilization of coal, and vigorously improve oil and gas exploration and development. Intensity.
Accelerate the construction of a natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system to ensure that it can be guaranteed.
The second is to speed up the development and utilization of non-fossil energy such as wind, solar, and biomass energy, promote low-carbon energy to replace high-carbon energy, and renewable energy to replace fossil energy.
Third, take the opportunity of the construction of a new generation of information infrastructure to promote the development of energy digitization and intelligence, accelerate the improvement of the intelligence level of the entire energy industry chain, promote the synergy of multiple energy sources, the two-way interaction of energy supply and demand, and the development of new models and new formats to improve The overall efficiency of the energy system.
