Carbon Neutrality and Carbon Peak

Carbon neutrality and carbon peak.

What is carbon peak? The total amount of carbon dioxide emissions reaches a historical peak at a certain point in time and then begins to fluctuate gently before gradually and steadily falling back.

What is carbon neutrality? Through energy conservation, emission reduction, energy substitution and other methods, the emitted carbon dioxide is recycled, ultimately achieving the goal of "zero emissions".

What can you do in life to contribute to "carbon neutrality"? 1. Take public transportation. 2. Use woven shopping bags. 3. Print on both sides of the paper. 4. Use less disposable tableware. 5. Turn off the power easily. 6. Use environmentally friendly tableware. 7. Dry clothes more often and less in the tumble dryer. 8. Planting flowers and plants, etc.

Carbon neutrality related industries (only examples of some industries. New energy vehicle industry, new energy vehicle battery photovoltaic power generation industry, wind power industry, hydrogen energy industry, energy storage industry? The above categories are all large-scale industries , its industrial chain is large-scale (carbon neutral industry map)

Energy saving and emission reduction related industries. (1) The following industries need green upgrading, focusing on steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, petrochemicals and other industries. , Promote energy-saving transformation and in-depth treatment of pollutants. (2) Improve energy conservation and environmental protection in industrial parks. Promote the overall optimization of energy systems and pollution treatment in industrial parks, and encourage industrial enterprises and parks to prioritize the use of renewable energy. (3) Urban green planning for energy-saving transformation. , green construction, green operation management, and promote the construction of low-carbon cities, resilient cities, and waste-free cities. (4) Energy conservation and emission reduction in transportation and logistics promote the construction of green railways, green highways, green ports, green waterways, and green airports, and promote charging and replacement in an orderly manner. Infrastructure construction such as electricity, fueling (gas), hydrogenation, and shore power at ports and airports. Source: Green Industry Innovation Alliance

1) In the context of carbon neutrality, the power generation industry is dominated by coal power. The pressure for decarbonization is great, and the power energy structure urgently needs to transform to clean energy; 2) Traditional power plants and clean energy power plants need to make breakthroughs and innovations in new energy power technology, energy storage technology, etc.; What is the impact of "carbon neutrality" on the industry?

The coal power generation market will continue to decline: According to relevant reports, in the next 30 years, coal's share of power generation energy is expected to drop from 55% to 15%. Develop clean energy: develop and utilize new energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaics, and hydropower to reduce the proportion of coal. And many companies have begun to incorporate "ESG" planning and development into corporate strategies.

Sources of carbon emissions, according to relevant statistics, in 2021, my country's carbon emissions from the power industry accounted for 48% of the country's total emissions; carbon emissions from industrial processes accounted for 36%; carbon emissions from the transportation and construction sectors accounted for 8% and 5% respectively.
