China's new energy development benefits the world

Recently, some politicians and media in the United States have thrown out remarks that discredit China, such as "China's new energy overcapacity impacts the world market", "China's overcapacity disrupts global prices and production models, and harms the interests of American enterprises and workers". All kinds of exotic arguments neither respect the facts nor stand scrutiny.

Facts speak louder than words. China's foreign trade in new energy continues to expand, becoming an important force in stabilizing the supply chain of the global clean energy industry chain. As the world's largest clean energy market and equipment manufacturing country, China has continued to strengthen cooperation in technological innovation and deepen trade cooperation in the clean energy industry, which has not only enriched global supply, but also helped to reduce the cost of global renewable energy and accelerated the green transformation process of global energy.

China's new energy development has helped solve the problem of energy use in many countries. At present, China has cooperated with more than 100 countries and regions in green energy projects. Clean, efficient and high-quality green energy projects and new energy products have effectively solved the problems of difficult and expensive electricity use in relevant countries and regions, and contributed to the elimination of energy poverty and the implementation of the UN's global development goal of "sustainable energy for all". With the continuous development of wind power high-capacity units, high-efficiency crystalline silicon cells for photovoltaic power generation, perovskite batteries, etc., China is driving the cost of wind power generation to further decline, creating more opportunities for developing countries to rapidly deploy renewable energy.

China's new energy development has created significant emission reduction effects for the world. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2022, China's renewable energy power generation will directly reduce carbon emissions by about 2.26 billion tons, and the export of wind power and photovoltaic products will reduce carbon emissions by about 570 million tons for other countries, a total of 2.84 billion tons, an increase of 2.2 times over 2012. It is estimated that China's contribution to carbon emission reduction of global renewable energy power generation has reached 41%, which is 2.5 times, 4.1 times, 7.0 times and 8.6 times that of the United States, Canada, India and Germany, respectively. China's new energy development has led the global energy structure adjustment and promoted the achievement of the goal of sustainable development, which is a remarkable achievement.

China's new energy development has continued to lead the global energy reform. For a long time, China has continuously promoted new energy technology innovation, and many core technologies were first introduced or put into large-scale use by Chinese enterprises. In the field of photovoltaic, China's photovoltaic power generation technology has rapidly iterated, and has repeatedly broken the world record of battery conversion efficiency; In the field of wind power, China is at the international leading level in the research and development of large capacity units, the application of long blades and high towers, and continues to make breakthroughs in the fields of high-power fans, ultra-low wind speed fans, and far-reaching offshore wind power technology; In the field of equipment manufacturing, China has built the world's largest, most complete and competitive new energy industry chain supply chain, and cultivated a number of world-class energy equipment manufacturing enterprises.

In the face of such a transcript, only malicious detractors will say that this is achieved by selling excess capacity and backward capacity to the world.

Justice is at ease with the people, and China's hard work can be seen in the world. At the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, the participants highly recognized China's low-carbon energy transformation concept and clean energy development achievements, and believed that the solutions provided by China provide an important direction for global energy transformation, and provide important, pragmatic Feasible solutions are of great significance to global energy transformation and climate governance.

Climate change is a common challenge facing all mankind, and the logical starting point for the development of new energy is the climate problem. Compared with the temperature control target of 1.5 degrees Celsius in the Paris Agreement, the current green products are not surplus, but far from enough. The only effective way to solve the climate problem is global cooperation, and trade protectionism will not help. In the historical process of tackling climate change, only fair competition can lead to technological progress, and only division of labor and cooperation can lead to mutual benefit and win-win results.
