Analysis of why my country needs carbon neutrality and carbon peak from four perspectives: political, economic, social and technological as follows:
The background of carbon neutrality is based on the environment of global warming. Next, the United Nations proposed at the Climate Change Conference organized in Paris in 2015 that "all countries should work together to control the increase in the earth's average temperature within 2 degrees Celsius." More than 170 countries agreed and signed the convention. This is the "Paris Agreement". Trump's previous series of withdrawal games included withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.
To control global warming, we must first control greenhouse gas emissions. As we all know, greenhouse gases mainly refer to carbon dioxide, accounting for more than 75% of greenhouse gases.
The significance of carbon neutrality and carbon peak:
1. Reduce dependence on energy imports.
This mainly refers to oil. Our country's oil dependence on imports exceeds 70%, which is very detrimental to the country's energy reserves. If others want to raise the price, they will raise the price, and if they want to choke you, they will choke you. The large-scale migration of energy from petrochemical energy to renewable energy can obviously strengthen the ability to resist risks in international games.
Otherwise, like in 2019, when the U.S. military blocked the straits of the Persian Gulf, causing an instant global oil panic, oil prices skyrocketed, and various petrochemical materials and transportation costs soared, the economic order would be easily disrupted.
2. A large number of overtaking opportunities brought by the restructuring of the industrial chain.
This involves many industries; for example, the automobile industry. Because the European and American automobile industries started early and held a large number of patents, key technologies such as engines and gearboxes, the country has lagged behind for a long time and is difficult to reverse. The market has long been dominated by Germany. Several major brands in the United States and Japan are divided. After the transition to electric vehicles, everyone is on the same starting line, and the gap between everyone is instantly smoothed.
Another example is the hydropower and photovoltaic industries. About 30% of global carbon dioxide is emitted by thermal power generation. With the further advancement of carbon neutrality, green power generation such as hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaics will definitely become popular around the world. , in the energy field, my country's leading photovoltaic technology and ultra-high voltage technology will have huge market prospects.
