Recently,the 2023 China Ecological Environment Industry Summit and Environmental Listed Company Summit,hosted by the Environmental Chamber of Commerce of the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce and co organized by the Huzhou City Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Huzhou City Group,opened in Huzhou,Zhejiang.Guests from the government,universities,research institutes,environmental enterprises,investment and financing institutions,and other sectors joined forces to achieve the”dual carbon”goal and explore new paths for economic and environmental win-win development.
Li Junfeng,founding director of the National Climate Strategy Center,gave a keynote speech at the forum titled”The Long and arduous task of achieving the”Dual Carbon”goal.”In the three years since the proposal of the”Dual Carbon”goal,remarkable achievements have been made in the development of non fossil fuels,and the development of renewable energy,especially wind power and photovoltaics,has been better than expected.”.
Among them,renewable energy generation is expected to exceed 3 trillion kilowatt hours in 2023,accounting for more than 30%of the total social power generation;The installed capacity of wind and solar power is expected to exceed 800 million kilowatts by the end of 2023,and the proportion of power generation will increase from less than 10%at the end of 2020 to 18%by the end of 2023,an increase of 8 percentage points over three years.
The reporter noticed that the above-mentioned”dual carbon”goals have been proposed for three years,and the achievements made in the past three years have attracted much attention.Regarding this,Li Junfeng introduced that investment in the”dual carbon”field has significantly increased,with the addition of new energy generation installed capacity more than twice the planned target.
At the same time,the scale of industrial development continues to expand,technological innovation accelerates,and costs continue to decrease.
Li Junfeng introduced that China’s wind power production capacity exceeds 70GW,and the photovoltaic production capacity is close to 100GW.TOPCon(Tunneled Oxide Passivation Contact Cell)technology in the photovoltaic manufacturing industry has become mainstream,and the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decrease.Both wind and photovoltaic power generation are below 0.2 yuan per kilowatt hour;The penetration rate of the electric vehicle market is better than expected,and it is expected to reach or even exceed the target requirements of 2030 by 2025;The export of electric vehicles,photovoltaic cells,and energy storage batteries has significantly increased.
In addition,in the three years since the proposal of the”dual carbon”goal,Li Junfeng specifically mentioned the contradiction between slowing economic growth and continuously increasing greenhouse gas emissions.The contradiction between the increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the overcapacity of low-carbon technologies coexists.
In response to the issue of overcapacity,Zou Ji,CEO of the Energy Foundation and President of China,also publicly stated in November this year that there is a similar”short-term overcapacity situation”in the power battery,heat pump,electrolytic cell,important metal refining,lithium,copper,and some other low-carbon technology equipment industries.
