Dai Yande, former director of the Energy and Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the forum that improving energy efficiency and controlling the energy structure can not only alleviate the shortage of resources, but also be an effective way to solve employment and achieve the established development goals. ?
According to Dai Yande, in 20 16, the total primary energy consumption in China was 4.36 billion tons of standard coal, and the level of energy consumption was about 70% lower than that in the 1980s and more than 30% lower than that in 2000. However, China's energy structure is still dominated by low-quality and high-carbon energy such as coal. Compared with the developed countries generally entering the oil and gas era and some developed countries gradually entering the renewable energy era, coal occupies a dominant position in the total energy consumption and increment in China for a long time. ?
He stressed that countries around the world still need to raise awareness of the importance of energy efficiency issues. At present, non-fossil energy consumption accounts for less than 15% of the global energy consumption structure, so it is difficult to completely replace fossil energy in the short term. Without the effective improvement of energy efficiency, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of controlling global warming within 2 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. ?
