China News Service, Beijing, March 10 (Reporter Zhao Yejiao and Chen Hang) Green and low-carbon development and response to climate change have become a global consensus.

China proposed the "double carbon" goal in 2020 and wrote it into the government work report for the first time in 2021.

In the following years, "double carbon" became a hot topic at the two sessions of the National People's Congress.

  "Low-carbon economy", "energy revolution" and "carbon market"... This year's government work report once again mentioned content related to "double carbon" in great detail, emphasizing the need to "strengthen the construction of ecological civilization and promote green and low-carbon development" , which demonstrates China’s responsibility as a major country in proactively addressing global climate change.

  How can China become “green”?

At the ongoing National Two Sessions, many National People’s Congress representatives anchored the “double carbon” goal and proposed green development.

  China is a major manufacturing country. With the introduction of relevant policy documents in recent years, China's green manufacturing system construction has continued to make new progress.

At the same time, as the world accelerates towards the carbon neutral era, international "green trade barriers" gradually emerge, and China's manufacturing industry begins to face problems such as the difficulty of connecting the entire supply chain, the lack of industry carbon database, and the pressure of low-carbon transformation of the supply chain. .

  How to break down barriers and achieve mutual recognition with the international system?

Having China’s own system is a prerequisite.

  Lei Jun, a representative of the National People's Congress and founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, suggested that we should quickly establish a background database of manufacturing carbon footprints, improve the sharing and co-construction mechanism of enterprises, promote connection and mutual recognition with international databases, and gradually establish China's in-depth participation , the leading global carbon footprint management system.

  Energy is the lifeblood of the national economy.

Under the background of "double carbon", the green and low-carbon transformation of energy is accelerating, and the high-quality development of new energy has become the "biggest event".

China's National Energy Administration previously announced data that as of the end of December 2023, China's total installed renewable energy power generation capacity reached 1.516 billion kilowatts, accounting for 51.9% of China's total installed power generation capacity and accounting for nearly 40% of the world's total installed renewable energy power generation capacity.

  The energy revolution is the general trend. The key data of "energy consumption per unit of GDP reduced by about 2.5%" outlines China's expected development goals in 2024.

  To achieve the above goals, many NPC deputies have encouraged and called for it.

Wang Jie, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy general manager of Zhejiang Baima Lake Laboratory Co., Ltd., brought suggestions on exploring and building a new energy system that combines sea and land coordination.

She said that the momentum of scientific and technological innovation should be further utilized, the development, transformation, storage, transportation and utilization of offshore renewable energy should be utilized throughout the chain, and the construction of a new sea-land collaborative energy system should be comprehensively explored to better realize clean, safe and efficient energy. High-quality development.

  Zhang Tianren, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Tianneng Holding Group, proposed that high-quality development of energy storage should be promoted, guided by the actual needs of new power system construction and application-oriented, to drive demonstrations of new energy storage technologies and new products, and promote technological innovation iterations Development; improve the new energy storage standard system and establish entry thresholds for high-quality, high-security, low-carbon green development.
