Carbon emission is influenced by many factors, such as economic development, industrial structure, energy use and technical level. The application of fossil energy in China accounts for 85% of primary energy, and the annual carbon emissions are about 9.8 billion tons, accounting for nearly 90% of the total carbon emissions of the whole society.
To solve the problem of carbon emissions, the key is to reduce energy carbon emissions. The fundamental reason is to change the mode of energy development, accelerate the promotion of clean substitution and electric energy substitution, completely get rid of fossil energy dependence and eliminate carbon emissions from the source.
Clean replacement means replacing fossil energy with clean energy such as solar energy, wind energy and hydropower in energy production, accelerating the formation of an energy supply system based on clean energy, and meeting energy demand in a clean and green way.
Electric energy substitution means replacing coal, oil, gas and wood with electricity in energy consumption, using clean power generation, accelerating the formation of an energy consumption system with electricity as the core, and making energy utilization more green and efficient.
Peak carbon dioxide emission:
The peak of carbon dioxide emission refers to the process that the annual carbon dioxide emission of a certain region or industry reaches the highest value in history, and then enters a continuous decline after a platform period. The change of carbon dioxide emissions from increase to decrease is a historical turning point, which marks the decoupling of carbon emissions from economic development. Peak target includes peak year and peak value.
Carbon emissions are closely related to economic development, which requires energy consumption. Shao Min, dean of the Institute of Environment and Climate of Jinan University, said that "the peak of carbon dioxide emissions" means that our country promises that carbon dioxide emissions will not increase before 2030, and will gradually decrease after reaching the peak;
By 2060, through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, carbon dioxide emissions will be completely offset, which is "carbon neutrality".
