BEIJING, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily
Today, countries around the world are facing the challenges
brought by climate change. Over 130 countries and regions have set
carbon neutrality targets, and the development of new energy
industries and the achievement of green and low-carbon
transformation are common aspirations.
In Thailand, Chinese electric
vehicle brands are known by more and more people, and several
Chinese car companies are expected to achieve localized production.
In Kazakhstan, Chinese enterprises
have turned wind into a resource, enabling the small town of
Zhanatas with a population of only about 20,000 to catch up with
the wave of new energy development. In Brazil, Chinese companies are investing in
solar photovoltaic, onshore wind power, and hydropower projects,
providing a stable source of clean electricity.
China's continuous provision of
high-quality new energy products is effectively promoting global
green and low-carbon transformation.
China is an important
participant, contributor and trailblazer in the global climate
governance process. It is also a significant producer of green
products and a key engine driving global energy transformation.
China has been vigorously
promoting the development of ecological civilization and actively
developing the new energy industry, demonstrating its determination
and action in addressing climate change.
The export of electric vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic
products, and more from China has
not only enriched global supply and alleviated inflation but also
provided significant support for countries to achieve carbon
reduction goals and accelerate green transformation.
According to the International Energy Agency's 2023 market
report on renewable energy, global annual renewable capacity
additions reached 510 gigawatts last year, growing at a faster rate
than any other time in the past 30 years, and China was the largest driving force for the
growth.
Data released by China's
National Energy Administration last year showed that over the past
decade, China contributed over 40
percent to the growth in the world's non-fossil energy consumption.
In 2022, China's exports of wind
and solar power products helped other countries reduce carbon
dioxide emissions by nearly 600 million tons.
World Meteorological Organization secretary-general Celeste Saulo pointed out that comprehensive
participation from major countries like China is necessary in addressing climate
change.
China adheres to open
development and shares advanced green technologies with the world,
significantly improving the accessibility of technology.
From a global perspective, green and low-carbon development is a
major direction of the innovation in energy technology. Through
continuous research and efforts, China has become a global leader in several
new energy technologies and equipment manufacturing. It has built
the world's largest clean power supply system, with its hydropower,
wind power, solar power, and biomass capacities consistently
ranking first in the world for years. China's new energy generation technology is at
the forefront globally, effectively driving down the costs of wind
and solar power generation.
Tim Gould, chief energy economist
at the International Energy Agency, said that China possesses unique advantages in the
development and application of clean energy technologies.
China has achieved fruitful
results in a number of major engineering projects, providing strong
technological support for global energy transformation.
China is actively promoting
international cooperation in the field of new energy, aiming to
build a new model of green and low-carbon energy transformation for
mutual benefit.
So far, China's overseas
investment in non-fossil energy has surpassed that in fossil
energy, leading to the successful completion of several landmark
projects in clean, efficient, and high-quality green energy
cooperation.
China is steadily advancing the
development of a green Belt and Road and has engaged in green
energy project cooperation with over 100 countries and regions,
providing strong support for their green and low-carbon energy
development.
China has proposed the Belt and
Road Energy Partnership and has set up six regional energy
cooperation platforms, promoting the establishment of global clean
energy partnerships.
These efforts have played an important role in promoting global
clean energy transformation and ensuring global energy
security.
Erik Solheim, vice chairman of
the Belt and Road Initiative International Green Development
Coalition and former under-secretary-general of the United Nations,
believes that China has made
significant contributions to global renewable energy development,
bringing innovation that drives economic development and green and
low-carbon transformation to other developing countries.
China's continuous provision of
high-quality capacity in the new energy industry has made
significant contributions to global green development, and it has
been widely welcomed by the majority of countries worldwide.
China will continue to inject
strong impetus into global clean energy development through its
products, technologies, and solutions, thereby making greater
contributions to countries in achieving green development and
building a clean and beautiful world.
