Deepening the transformation of energy and promoting industrial development towards "green" direction
2026-05-28
The roofs of factories are covered with photovoltaic panels, wind turbines are erected along the port shore, and data centers are directly connected to photovoltaic power stations in the desert... With the promotion of the "dual carbon" goal, these scenes that were once concentrated in new energy demonstration bases have now become ordinary scenery, and a green and low-carbon energy transformation is underway. The implementation of a series of energy-saving and carbon reduction policies is bringing visible and tangible changes to various industries. The previously issued "Opinions on Doing a Better Job in Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction at a Higher Level and Quality" proposed that energy conservation and carbon reduction are important means to promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality, accelerate the green transformation of development mode, maintain national energy security, and promote industrial upgrading. According to the latest data from the National Energy Administration, as of the end of April, the cumulative installed power generation capacity in China was 3.99 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 14.2%. Among them, the installed capacity of solar power generation was 1.25 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 26.2%; The installed capacity of wind power was 660 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 22.0%. Promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy can promote industrial transformation and upgrading, improve the ecological environment, maintain energy security, and promote green economic and social development. ”Li Zhiqing, Director of the Environmental Economics Research Center at Fudan University, stated in an interview with reporters that green and low-carbon transformation can reflect China's advantages in new energy fields such as photovoltaics and wind power, and enhance comprehensive competitiveness. Looking at local practices, the transformation of traditional energy bases is particularly noteworthy. In Ordos, Inner Mongolia, the world's first zero carbon industrial park has established a complete zero carbon chain from renewable energy generation to hydrogen production, storage, and application. As a well-known traditional coal energy base in China, "Coal City" is not only committed to the low-carbon transformation of high carbon industries, but also to the overall layout of new energy industry clusters and the development of modern energy economy. Rows of deep blue photovoltaic panels are neatly arranged, and Xinjiang is also accelerating the transformation of its resource endowment into green energy. The 1.65 million kilowatt market-oriented grid connected photovoltaic power generation project in Hutubi County, Xinjiang Oilfield is accelerating construction. According to the relevant person in charge, after the project is fully connected to the grid for power generation, the average annual power generation can exceed 2.3 billion kWh, saving about 690000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.9 million tons per year. In the process of coordinating the layout of green power and computing power, green value is extending to more industrial sectors. At the border of Tengger Desert in Ningxia, the first large-scale "power computing collaboration" green power direct supply project in China - Datang Zhongwei Cloud Base Data Center green power supply 500 megawatt source network load storage photovoltaic project directly supplies the scenery clean energy from the desert to the Zhongwei Cloud Base Data Center 5 kilometers away, so that the power park uses clean, low-cost, safe and stable green power. In addition to large-scale energy and digital industry collaboration projects, the application of green energy has also become an important tool for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The largest rooftop distributed photovoltaic system on Changxing Island in Shanghai has been in operation for nearly half a year, generating over 13 million kilowatt hours of electricity as of the end of April this year, achieving a green and low-carbon transformation of the island's marine equipment industry; 22 enterprises in Renqiu Economic Development Zone, Cangzhou, Hebei Province have their roofs covered with photovoltaic panels, generating an annual electricity output of 30 million kilowatt hours and saving about 10 million yuan in electricity bills annually. The application scale of green energy continues to expand, and the challenge of how to efficiently utilize it urgently needs to be solved. Li Zhiqing believes that there are still some problems in China's energy transformation, such as the widespread application of new energy vehicles, which have exacerbated the volatility of power grid loads and made power grid operations more complex; The cost of energy storage and other technologies is relatively high, and there is a risk of bottleneck in the research and development of some key technologies and high-end facilities and equipment; The pricing mechanism, investment and financing system, and electricity market construction need to be improved. Experts suggest deepening market-oriented reforms in the energy sector and allowing the market to play a decisive role in optimizing energy resources; Optimize industrial layout, promote the migration of industries to the western and northern regions rich in new energy, and vigorously develop distributed energy; Increase investment in scientific and technological research and development, and deeply promote the green and low-carbon transformation of energy.
