**Recently, the "Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan") was issued, emphasizing the vigorous development of new and clean energy, and by 2025, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20%, and the proportion of electric energy in final energy consumption will reach about 30%.
The Action Plan specifically mentions that the proportion of new energy vehicles will not be less than 80% in the new or updated public transportation, taxi, urban logistics and distribution, light sanitation and other vehicles in the public domain in key areas.
In 2020, China officially put forward the goal of "achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060". The introduction of this goal demonstrates the positive attitude of a responsible major country in responding to climate change. At the same time, promoting the realization of this goal is also conducive to the transformation and upgrading of China's economy.
If the realization of the dual carbon goal is regarded as a big battle, then the energy field is undoubtedly the main battlefield, because without the energy transition, we cannot build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient new energy system, and nothing else can be talked about.
In recent years, China's green energy development has achieved remarkable results, and the energy utilization efficiency has been significantly improved, but the situation of coal-biased energy structure has not been fundamentally changed. According to statistics, China's current energy intensity is 1 of the world averageAbout 5 times, the proportion of carbon dioxide emissions from energy activities is still as high as 80%.
Now, the "Action Plan" clearly states that by 2025, PM2 will be in cities at and above the prefecture level across the country5. The concentration will be reduced by 10% compared with 2020, and the proportion of days with severe pollution and above will be controlled within 1%.Total emissions of nitrogen oxides and VOCs decreased by more than 10% respectively compared to 2020.
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas, Fenwei Plain PM25 concentrations decreased by %, PM2 in the Yangtze River Delta region5. The concentration is generally up to standard, and Beijing controls it within 32 micrograms of cubic meters.
From energy transition to industrial structure transformation, from urban development transformation to people's lifestyle transformation, there must be a sense of urgency.
Accelerating the construction of a new energy system requires multiple efforts at the same time. In terms of consumption, we will build an energy-saving society through the implementation of energy conservation, carbon reduction and efficiency improvementOn the supply side, we will actively develop non-fossil energy sources such as new energy, hydropower, and nuclear powerIn terms of technology, we will vigorously promote green and low-carbon technological innovation, and strengthen scientific and technological research and promotion and application of wind power, solar power generation, new energy storage, and hydrogen energyIn terms of system, it is necessary to improve the market-oriented mechanism and form effective incentives and constraints.
Any major change is both a challenge and a huge opportunity. Energy transition is about "dual carbon", but not only "double carbon", in this process, whoever can seize the opportunity will be able to enjoy the earliest dividends.
China's new energy industry has gone through more than 10 years of development and is poised for a critical period. The release of the Action Plan means the arrival of new opportunities for urban construction and industrial development. Experts**, there will always be "supercharged cities" around us.
As we all know, charging piles are an indispensable supporting infrastructure for new energy vehicles.
At present, charging piles are divided into slow charging, fast charging and overcharging according to different charging speeds. Even with fast charging technology, the average charging time of electric vehicles is generally 30 minutes to more than 1 hour, and the number of DC charging piles that match the fast charging demand is insufficient, which cannot meet the needs of users for rapid energy replenishment, which is a major pain point in the new energy vehicle market.
Compared to slow charging and fast charging, how fast is supercharging?
A cup of coffee, a full charge and go. This year, with such a futuristic slogan, Shenzhen sounded the clarion call for Shenzhen to build a world-class "supercharging city". Subsequently, more cities may follow up and deploy.
For new energy vehicle owners, the "supercharging city" can undoubtedly make their use more convenient, thereby activating the new energy consumer marketFor a city, the construction of a "supercharged city" will not only bring about the development of industrial clusters, but also accompany the progress of soft power such as intelligence, big data, and experience services.
Once the city is successfully built, urban life will definitely be better.
