Recently, the National Energy Administration revealed that the new energy plan will eventually be called the "new energy industry development plan." It is understood that after several modifications and improvements, the plan has now been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, reported to the State Council.
Coal is gradually replaced by natural gas
An expert involved in the development of a strategy for the development of a strategic new industry in China said that "the formulation of a new industry plan is nearing completion and that the plan must be completed by the end of September."
The approved development plan includes plans for the development and utilization of new energy and renewable energy such as wind energy, solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy, and unconventional natural gas, as well as upgrades to traditional energy sources, such as clean coal, Smart grid, new energy for vehicles, distributed energy and other specific implementation paths, development scale, and major policy initiatives, etc.
According to relevant sources from the National Energy Administration, the plan focused on improving the proportion of non-fossil energy and carbon emission reduction "two goals".
It is understood that the production of a large number of greenhouse gas coal will gradually withdraw from the energy stage. Industry sources said that coal has been gradually replaced, which is the inevitable result of China's industrial restructuring and energy-saving emission reduction.
According to preliminary calculations, after the implementation of the emerging energy industry plan, by 2020, it will greatly reduce the excessive dependence on coal demand, can reduce the current year's emissions of about 7.8 million tons of carbon dioxide, then reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of about 1.2 billion tons.
The Directorate of Planning of the National Energy Administration, Chang Jiangbing, said that by 2015, China's non-fossil energy will account for about 11% of primary energy consumption. Due to the rapid growth of clean energy and non-fossil energy, the proportion of coal in primary energy consumption. It may drop from more than 70% in 2009 to about 63%. This will obviously change the situation that China's coal consumption proportion has remained high for many years.
The energy industry plan is a natural gas** and natural gas will become the main energy alternative to coal. Han Xiaoping, chief information officer of China Energy Network, said in an interview that it is this plan to include natural gas and distributed energy in the planning. Major breakthroughs. According to Han Xiaoping, the National Energy Administration estimates that by 2015, the proportion of natural gas utilization in the energy consumption structure is expected to increase from the current 3.9% to about 8.3%, which is its biggest bright spot.
New energy will become the main force of energy
In this development plan, the most important content is the planning for the development and utilization of new energy and renewable energy. New energy sources such as nuclear energy, wind energy and solar energy will gradually occupy the energy sector.
For the new energy industry, China has frequently introduced supporting policies in recent years. For example, the series of subsidy policies for photovoltaic power generation, the benchmarking tariffs for onshore wind power and the concession bidding policy for offshore wind power, and the encouragement of the construction of inland nuclear power plants in recent years and accelerating Approval speed and so on.
According to industry analysts, in this “emerging energy industry development plan†that is ready to come, the status of new energy will be greatly improved, and this development plan also promotes the reordering of new energy industry development.
According to relevant sources from the National Energy Administration, China will focus on the development of three types of non-fossil energy, the first being nuclear power, the second being hydropower, and the third being wind, solar and biomass energy. The National Energy Administration predicts that “2015, hydropower and Nuclear power accounts for nearly 9% of primary energy consumption, and wind power, solar energy and biomass energy approach 2.6%."
Experts said that hydropower and nuclear power will be strongly supported, and wind power and photovoltaic power generation will also be the object of long-term government support.
According to analysis by Great Wall Securities, in accordance with the energy development plan formulated by China, it has become an inevitable choice to substantially increase the development and supply capacity of nuclear power and renewable energy. About 40% of the 5 trillion yuan investment plan will be used for Traditional energy upgrades, in which the total investment in power grids is about 500 billion yuan, the subsidies for power battery vehicles may reach a scale of 1 trillion yuan, while distributed energy, clean coal utilization, etc. are about 500 billion yuan.
Jiang Bing said that overall considering that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, by vigorously developing nuclear power, hydropower, wind power, and increasing natural gas consumption, by the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Planâ€, hydropower and nuclear power accounted for the proportion of primary energy consumption from the current 7%. About 9% to reach; about wind power, solar and biomass energy consumption of primary energy from the current 0.8% to reach close to 2.6%.
