Chinese Academy of Engineering: China is expected to achieve a carbon peak around 2027, and the peak value will be controlled at around 12.2 billion tons
China News Agency, Beijing, March 31 (Reporter Sun Zifa) The Chinese Academy of Engineering released the major consulting project results "China's Carbon Neutral Strategy and Path to Peak Carbon" in Beijing on the 31st, proposing that through proactive actions and the joint efforts of the whole society, China's carbon dioxide Emissions are expected to peak around 2027, with the peak controlled at around 12.2 billion tons.
Building on this foundation drives a fundamental shift in the development model that could lead to carbon neutrality by 2060.
The 6th International Conference on Innovation and Emerging Industry Development (IEID), co-hosted by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Shanghai Municipal Government, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, was held online and offline in Beijing and Shanghai on the same day.
Academician Li Xiaohong, President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, released and introduced the specific content of "China's Carbon Neutralization Strategy and Path to Peak Carbon" at the meeting, mainly including eight strategies, seven paths and three suggestions.
——Eight strategies: conservation priority strategy, adhering to the concept of energy conservation as the first energy source, and continuously improving the energy efficiency of the whole society; energy security strategy, doing a good job in emergency response to fossil energy, properly responding to the unstable supply of new energy, preventing oil and gas and key minerals from exporting Dependency risks; non-fossil energy substitution strategy, on the basis of the safe and reliable replacement of traditional energy by new energy, and continuously increase the proportion of non-fossil energy; re-electrification strategy, focusing on the replacement of electric energy and the development of electricity-based raw materials and fuels, and vigorously promote the electrification of key sectors Level; resource recycling strategy, accelerate the upgrading and transformation of traditional industries and business process reengineering, and realize multi-level recycling of resources; carbon sequestration strategy, adhere to the combination of ecological carbon absorption and artificial carbon use, enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of the ecosystem, and promote carbon removal Technology research and development; digital strategy, comprehensively promote digital carbon reduction and carbon management, and help green transformation of production and life; international cooperation strategy, the responsibility of a major country to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and greater efforts to deepen international cooperation.
——Seven paths: First, to improve the quality and efficiency of economic development, and to decouple economic development from carbon emissions by optimizing and upgrading the industrial structure as an important means; The key and foundation; the third is to accelerate the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body, and to achieve net zero emissions in the power industry safely and stably; the fourth is to support the electrification and deep decarbonization technologies to promote the orderly peaking and gradual neutralization of the industrial sector The fifth is to realize the low-carbon transformation of transportation through a high proportion of electrification, and to promote the transportation sector to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality; the sixth is to focus on breaking through the key technologies of green buildings to achieve zero carbon emissions from electricity and heat in buildings; In order to achieve carbon neutrality "last mile" carbon removal underpinning technology guarantee.
——Three suggestions: First, maintain strategic focus, do a good job of overall planning and coordination, and on the premise of ensuring the orderly economic and social operation and the security of energy and resource supply, adhere to the national "one game of chess" and orderly promote the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality .
The second is to strengthen scientific and technological innovation to provide a strong impetus for the realization of carbon neutrality. In particular, the realization of carbon neutrality must be supported by major breakthroughs in key technologies.
The third is to establish and improve the system and policy system to ensure the implementation of carbon neutralization tasks and measures.
Accelerate the establishment of a total carbon emission control system, accelerate the construction of a mechanism of integrated planning, integrated promotion and integrated assessment of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and continuously improve the construction of capacity support and supervision system.
It is understood that the carbon neutrality major consulting project of the Chinese Academy of Engineering has organized more than 40 academicians, more than 300 experts, and dozens of units, focusing on industrial structure, energy, power, industry, construction, transportation, carbon removal, etc. , systematically carry out research on China's carbon neutralization strategy and path to achieve carbon peaking, and recently completed and released the "China Carbon Peak Carbon Neutralization Strategy and Path".
