Energy security is a comprehensive and strategic issue that affects the economic and social development of a country. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "accelerate the planning and construction of a new energy system" and "ensure energy security". This is not only an inherent requirement for actively and steadily promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, but also an important support for deeply advancing the energy revolution and promoting high-quality economic development. The government work report presented at the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress pointed out that we should actively cultivate emerging and future industries. We should implement industrial innovation projects, improve the industrial ecosystem, expand application scenarios, and promote the integrated cluster development of strategic emerging industries. We should vigorously develop a green and low-carbon economy.
From the perspective of energy structure, the new energy system should be diversified, encompassing both fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as non-fossil fuels including solar, wind, hydro, tidal, biomass, geothermal, hydrogen, and nuclear energy. We should promote the green transformation of industrial structure, energy structure, transportation structure, and urban and rural construction and development.
Actively and steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Establish a carbon footprint management system, further advance the energy revolution, control fossil energy consumption, and accelerate the construction of a new energy system. Strengthen the construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic power bases and transmission channels, promote the development and utilization of distributed energy, develop new energy storage, promote the use of green electricity and international mutual recognition, leverage the backup role of coal and coal-fired power, and ensure the energy demand for economic and social development.
Ensure the secure supply of energy, coordinate and complement various energy sources, and emphasize the guiding significance of the "dual carbon" goals and the objectives of the tough battle against pollution prevention and control for energy structure adjustment. On the one hand, continuously optimize the energy consumption structure and actively promote the development of new energy. On the other hand, accurately grasp and prevent energy supply risks at various stages. Based on China's energy situation, comprehensively promote supply-side structural reforms, vigorously enhance domestic resource production and supply guarantee capabilities, and continuously increase high-quality and effective supply.
We will promote energy technology and institutional revolution, thoroughly implement the innovation-driven development strategy, advance technological independent innovation and localization of major equipment by category, make solid efforts to tackle key technical equipment, and actively promote the development of emerging industries such as new energy storage and hydrogen energy. We will adhere to the market-oriented reform orientation, continuously strengthen the top-level design and major layout of energy development reform, and promote the implementation of a new round of power system reform and oil and gas system reform.
The key to building a new energy system lies in gradually constructing a new energy system with new energy as the mainstay. The construction of the new energy system must adhere to the principle of planning first, strengthen top-level design, make overall plans and take all factors into consideration, and ensure high-quality development and high-level safety in a coordinated manner. We should leverage the role of large power grids in resource allocation and enhance the ability of various regions to collaboratively ensure energy security. We should vigorously promote the revolution in energy technology and accelerate the formation of new productive forces. We should adhere to internal and external coordination, stabilize the supply of imported oil and gas resources, fully utilize both domestic and international markets and resources, and ensure energy security under open conditions.
