On October 24, 2021, the State Council website released the “Carbon Peaking Action Plan before 2030″ (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), which established the main goals of the “14th Five-Year Plan” and “15th Five-Year Plan”: by 2025 The proportion of national non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20%, the energy consumption per unit of GDP will drop by 13.5% compared with 2020, and the carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will be reduced by 18% compared with 2020, laying a solid foundation for achieving carbon peaking. By 2030, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 25%, the carbon dioxide emission per unit of GDP will drop by more than 65% compared with 2005, and the goal of carbon peaking by 2030 will be successfully achieved.

(1) Requirements for wind power development.

Task 1 requires vigorous development of new energy sources. Comprehensively promote the large-scale development and high-quality development of wind power and solar power generation. Adhere to the equal emphasis on land and sea, promote the coordinated and rapid development of wind power, improve the offshore wind power industry chain, and encourage the construction of offshore wind power bases. By 2030, the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power will reach more than 1.2 billion kilowatts.

In task 3, it is required to promote the carbon peak of the non-ferrous metal industry. Consolidate the achievements in resolving excess capacity of electrolytic aluminum, strictly implement capacity replacement, and strictly control new capacity. Promote the replacement of clean energy, and increase the proportion of hydropower, wind power, solar power and other applications.

(2) Requirements for hydropower development.

In Task 1, it is required to develop hydropower according to local conditions. Promote the synergy and complementarity of hydropower, wind power, and solar power generation in the southwest region. Coordinate hydropower development and ecological protection, and explore the establishment of a compensation mechanism for ecological protection in the development of hydropower resources. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” and “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the newly added hydropower installed capacity was about 40 million kilowatts, and the renewable energy system mainly based on hydropower in the southwest region was basically established.

(3) Improvement of motor energy efficiency standards.

In Task 2, it is required to promote energy conservation and efficiency enhancement of key energy-consuming equipment. Focus on equipment such as motors, fans, pumps, compressors, transformers, heat exchangers, and industrial boilers to comprehensively improve energy efficiency standards. Establish an energy efficiency-oriented incentive and restraint mechanism, promote advanced and efficient products and equipment, and accelerate the elimination of backward and inefficient equipment. Strengthen the energy-saving review and daily supervision of key energy-using equipment, strengthen the management of the entire chain of production, operation, sales, use, and scrapping, and crack down on violations of laws and regulations to ensure that energy efficiency standards and energy-saving requirements are fully implemented.

(4) The launch of electric vehicles.

Task 5 calls for speeding up the construction of green transportation infrastructure. The green and low-carbon concept is applied throughout the entire process of transportation infrastructure planning, construction, operation and maintenance to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions throughout the life cycle. Carry out green upgrading and transformation of transportation infrastructure, make overall use of resources such as comprehensive transportation channel lines, land, and airspace, increase the integration of coastlines, anchorages and other resources, and improve utilization efficiency. Orderly promote the construction of infrastructure such as charging piles, supporting power grids, refueling (gas) stations, and hydrogen refueling stations, and improve the level of urban public transportation infrastructure. By 2030, the vehicles and equipment in civil transport airports will strive to be fully electrified.

Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are national actions at the national level. Whether it is a motor manufacturer or a consumer, we have the responsibility and obligation to actively work hard to promote the realization of the program goals with practical actions.
