以低碳岛建设引领海南自贸港高质量发展

Core Viewpoint - The Hainan Provincial Government has issued the "Hainan Low Carbon Island Construction Plan," aiming to establish Hainan as a showcase for China's advanced low-carbon development concepts, technologies, and practices, with specific targets for carbon peak by 2030, full low-carbon island construction by 2045, and carbon neutrality by 2060 [1][2]. Summary by Relevant Sections Low Carbon Goals and Timeline - The low carbon island construction goals are segmented into three timelines: achieving carbon peak by 2030, completing low-carbon island construction by 2045, and reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, aligning with China's climate change commitments [2]. Construction Pathway - The construction pathway is outlined as "first laying the foundation—promoting energy efficiency—producing green energy—storing green energy—self-circulation—carbon absorption—smart management," focusing on building a new zero-carbon energy system and establishing six major systems: industrial decarbonization, urban and rural decarbonization, transportation decarbonization, ecological carbon fixation, smart carbon management, and long-term carbon governance [2]. Specific Measures and Innovations - Notable measures include the phased withdrawal of coal-fired power units, achieving 100% electrification in terminal sectors by 2045 (excluding industrial and interprovincial transport), accelerating CCUS technology innovations in the industrial sector, promoting zero-carbon buildings, and ensuring that by 2030, 100% of new and replacement private vehicles are electric, with full electrification of all vehicle types by 2045 [2]. Green Development as a Foundation - The concept of Chinese-style modernization emphasizes harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, positioning green development as a fundamental aspect of Hainan's free trade port construction, with aspirations to become a benchmark for green low-carbon transformation in medium and large islands [3].
