On March 5, the 2024** work report was officially released. What are the key areas of energy involved in this year's work report? These keywords in the energy sector need to be focused on.
Keywords: renewable energy installation
In the past year, the installed capacity of renewable energy has historically surpassed that of thermal power, and more than half of the world's new installed capacity has been added throughout the year.
According to the statistics of the National Energy Administration, in 2023, the cumulative installed power generation capacity of the country will be about 29200 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 139%。Among them, the installed capacity of solar power generation is about 6100 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 552%；The installed capacity of wind power is about 4400 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 207%。
It is estimated that the installed capacity of new power generation will exceed 300 million kilowatts in 2024, and the cumulative installed capacity of new energy power generation will exceed the installed capacity of coal power for the first time. Driven by the sustained and rapid development of new energy power generation, it is expected that the new installed power generation capacity in the country will exceed 300 million kilowatts again in 2024, and the new scale will be basically the same as in 2023.
Keywords: carbon footprint management system
It is necessary to improve the ability of carbon emission statistical accounting and verification, establish a carbon footprint management system, and expand the coverage of the national carbon market.
In the development of the dual carbon field, the construction of the carbon footprint management system is particularly important. In the past, China's carbon trading was mainly concentrated in the power sector, which is obviously not enough. In order to more comprehensively and accurately account for carbon emissions and promote the development of carbon trading, China needs to extend the carbon footprint management system to all relevant sectors. This can not only improve the transparency and fairness of carbon trading, but also provide more accurate data support for enterprises and enterprises, so as to formulate a more scientific and reasonable dual carbon policy.
Keywords: new energy storage
It is necessary to develop new energy storage, promote the use of green electricity and international mutual recognition, and give full play to the role of coal and coal-fired power to ensure the energy demand of economic and social development.
By the end of 2023, the cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects that have been completed and put into operation across the country will reach 31.39 million kilowatts and 66.87 million kilowatt hours, with an average energy storage duration of 21 hour. In 2023, China's new installed capacity will be about 22.6 million kilowatts and 48.7 million kilowatt hours, an increase of more than 260% from the end of 2022 and nearly ten times the installed capacity at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan. This also means that China has already reached the new energy storage installation target of the 14th Five-Year Plan two years ahead of schedule.
In recent years, there have been many favorable policies for new energy storage. According to statistics, in 2023, China will issue a total of 653 direct and indirect policies related to energy storage, including 60 policies at the national level.
Key words: "new three" export
Over the past year, we have promoted the stable scale and optimal structure of foreign trade, and the export of electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaic products has increased by nearly 30%.
China has become an indispensable force in the world's clean energy development. At present, China's wind power and photovoltaic products have been exported to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, with a cumulative export value of more than US$33.4 billion and US$245.3 billion respectively. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the average LCOE of wind and photovoltaic power projects has fallen by more than 60% and 80% respectively over the past decade, thanks in large part to Chinese innovation, Chinese manufacturing and Chinese engineering.
Keywords: green and low-carbon and energy revolution
Vigorously develop a green and low-carbon economy. Promote the green transformation of industrial structure, energy structure, transportation structure, and urban and rural construction development.
Actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Improve the ability of carbon emission statistical accounting and verification, establish a carbon footprint management system, and expand the coverage of the national carbon market. We will further promote the energy revolution, control fossil energy consumption, and accelerate the construction of a new energy system. Strengthen the construction of large-scale wind power and photovoltaic bases and transmission channels, promote the development and utilization of distributed energy, develop new energy storage, promote the use of green electricity and international mutual recognition, and give full play to the role of coal and coal-fired power to ensure the energy demand of economic and social development.
