On the evening of June 30, Premier Li Keqiang, who was visiting Europe, announced that the Chinese government had submitted to the United Nations a document on its intended Nationally determined Contribution (INDC) to combat climate change. According to the document, the proportion of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption will reach around 20% by 2020. In terms of concrete actions, China has committed to reaching 100 GIGAwatts of photovoltaic installations by 2020. Experts believe that the key to achieving China's emission reduction target is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. As of last year, China's installed photovoltaic capacity was only 28 GIGAwatts, which was far behind the target. In the next decade, the domestic clean energy industry will enter a critical period of development, and it is extremely urgent to accelerate the expansion of the solar market.
With a 400-fold increase in seven years, solar power has helped accelerate China's green economy
According to public data, China's current energy structure, renewable energy accounted for only 11.2%, and coal proportion is as high as 70%, according to the document proposed the "2030 non-fossil energy accounted for 20%" target is still far away, the current solar, wind power market plate is still not large enough, the pace of development is in urgent need of acceleration. The submission of the letter of commitment also means that the Chinese government will face up to and systematically solve the long-term development and environmental difficulties. In the next decade, domestic renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, as well as related industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection will usher in the most important period of development.
Although the total amount needs to be increased, the speed of China's clean energy development is indeed remarkable. According to Xie Zhenhua, China's chief representative on climate change, solar power generation has increased 400 times compared with seven years ago, and wind power has increased 180 times. In 2014, China's coal consumption fell by 2.9% in absolute terms, while GDP growth remained relatively strong at 7.4% in 2014. This also means that renewable energy sources such as solar power can sustain
