建设“碳中和”的现代化强国始终要把节能增效放在突出位置

“十一五”以来,节能工作对我国经济社会可持续发展做出了重大贡献,推动我国走上了一条以能源节约为特征的新型工业化、城镇化发展道路。我国已经开启建设社会主义现代化国家新征程,面向2030年前二氧化碳排放达峰、2035年基本实现社会主义现代化、2050年建成社会主义现代化强国、2060年前实现“碳中和”的宏伟目标,我国不能再重复发达国家人均能耗先大幅增长、再逐步下降的发展路径。要始终把节能高效放在现代化国家建设的突出位置,推动我国走上一条以高能效、低能耗、面向“碳中和”的新型现代化道路,加快建成能源节约型现代化国家。

Persisting on Energy Conservation to Ensure China to Build a Carbon Neutral Modern Strong Country

From 2006 to 2020,energy conservation policy has promoted China to develop in a New Industrialization and Urbanization Pathway,which is characterized by a fast growth and low energy consumption.China has setup new long-term development targets and will start its new journey since 2021.China’s new long-term targets include:peaking CO2 emission before 2030,basically becoming a modern country by 2035,becoming a modern and strong country by 2050,and realizing carbon neutrality before 2060.Historical experience shows it is very difficult to keep energy consumption per capita lower than 6 tce,while the people can enjoy the living standard of a modern society.Therefore,it is crucial to persist on energy conservation vigorously to ensure China to build a carbon neutral modern strong country in the coming 40 years.
