Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China has become the world's largest new photovoltaic market for 8 consecutive years!
On November 2nd, at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that China’s proposed goal of peaking carbon by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060 fully demonstrated the climate ambitions that match China’s development stage and national conditions. And global leadership.
"China must believe in words and deeds must be fruitful. To this end, it has made arduous efforts and achieved remarkable results." Wang Wenbin said that China's carbon emission intensity in 2020 will be 48.4% lower than that in 2005, and the over-fulfillment will be reduced by 40% by 2020. -45% of the target, the cumulative reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by about 5.8 billion tons. China is working hard to promote energy green and low-carbon transition. In 2020, China's non-fossil energy power generation will account for more than one-third of the total electricity consumption in the country. The installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind power will increase by more than 3,000 times and more than 200 times compared with 2005. . China has become the world's largest new photovoltaic market for eight consecutive years, and the technology level and manufacturing scale of wind power and photovoltaic power generation equipment rank among the top in the world. Recently, China has organized and started a number of large-scale wind power and photovoltaic projects (solar panel roof mounts,ground mount solar racking and solar carport structure) with a total scale of nearly 30 million kilowatts. The first batch of projects with an installed capacity of about 100 million kilowatts has opened. .
Wang Wenbin pointed out that it will generally take 40 to 70 years from carbon peaking to carbon neutrality in developed countries, while China, as the world's largest developing country, has set itself only 30 years. China’s goal of carbon neutrality is fully in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal of controlling global temperature rise above the pre-industrial level and below 2 degrees Celsius, and striving to control it within 1.5 degrees Celsius. It also fully demonstrates the relationship with China. Climate ambition and global leadership that match the development stage and national conditions.
"Climate change is a common challenge for all mankind. It is related to the future and destiny of mankind. It requires the joint efforts of the international community." Earlier, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke on China's carbon neutrality and carbon peak vision: Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian: China Will take the shortest time to achieve carbon neutrality!
