Abstract

China made a commitment in Sino-US Joint Statement on Climate Change that its carbon emissions will achieve the peak around 2030, and the percentage of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption will reach 20% then. This paper aimed to analyze the how the targets could be achieved by the transition of energy and power sector development. Studies show that the essential pathway to realize the 2030 targets is to control the total energy consumption and expand the use of clean energy to replace fossil energy. To achieve the target, China's non-fossil energy power installation and electricity generation should account for 47% and 37% of the national total respectively in 2030, and about 1/3 non-fossil energy electricity needs to be transported through trans-regional power grid for utilization.
