The energy sector is of great importance to achieving “dual carbon”
It is reported that ABB Electric actively explores the construction of a low-carbon, green and intelligent development path, and works with users to promote sustainable solutions while doing a good job of carbon neutrality, and supports China’s ambitious goal of carbon neutrality in 2060.
“The main source of carbon emissions is still the energy sector, about 80 percent, so the energy sector itself is extremely important, or a key to whether it can achieve carbon peak.” Zhao Yongzhan said.
Zhao Yongzhan believes that the realization of carbon neutrality in the energy field, carbon peak for the whole society to achieve the “double carbon” goal is extremely important, at the same time, the current stage of the position of electricity in the energy occupies an important proportion, the current electricity accounts for about 26% of terminal energy consumption, until 2060 when the real carbon peak, this proportion is about 50% to 60%. Some institutions predict that the end of energy is consumed in the form of electricity, so it is very important to find more alternative new energy in the process of realizing “double carbon”, or the development and utilization of non-fossil energy, improve the efficiency of clean energy use, and improve the level of electrification.
Zhao Yongzhan further pointed out that improving the efficiency of energy use in the whole society and various industrial sectors also requires more innovative technologies. This is the main direction of business efforts of some enterprises, including ABB, and is also the focus of business. ABB’s core focus is on how to use more clean energy, how to further improve the efficiency of energy use, and how to further improve the level of electrification.
“Double carbon” releases more market opportunities
Zhao Yongzhan said that China has now entered the “14th Five-Year Plan” new development stage, will continue to promote high-quality development, the formation of a strong domestic market, to build a new development pattern blueprint, to achieve a more open “domestic and international double cycle”, from “speed miracle” to “quality miracle”.
Through the stage of the CIIE, ABB will continue to help realize this blueprint, inject new momentum into the transformation and upgrading of thousands of industries with innovative technologies, promote the realization of high-quality and low-carbon new development of Chinese society and Chinese economy, and accelerate the release of digital potential to build a “digital China”.
“To achieve the goal of double carbon is a long-term strategy of the country, so it can not be achieved overnight, in this process will encounter a lot of challenges, the most important thing is to change the concept, more firm confidence to achieve the goal; The second is to change the mode of development and adopt a more green and low-carbon way to gradually achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.” Zhao Yongzhan said.
“China is the second largest market for ABB Group. At present, China is in a critical period of actively promoting the digital transformation of the industry and realizing the goal of ‘dual carbon’, and constantly releasing market opportunities.” Talking about China’s future market potential and future development prospects, Zhao Yongzhan said that ABB will continue to be optimistic, and will increase investment, increase local research and development efforts, to provide more leading technologies and solutions for the Chinese market.
