Core Viewpoint - The Central Economic Work Conference emphasizes the "dual carbon" goals as a guiding principle for economic work in the coming year, focusing on comprehensive green transformation and the establishment of a new energy system to ensure energy security and transition [1][3]. Group 1: Green Transformation and Energy Strategy - The conference highlights the importance of advancing energy-saving and carbon reduction transformations in key industries, with a focus on creating a strong energy nation through top-level planning [5][10]. - The "14th Five-Year Plan" is identified as a critical period for rapid green and low-carbon transformation, while the "15th Five-Year Plan" will be crucial for achieving carbon peak and green transformation [3][6]. - Energy activities account for over 80% of total carbon emissions, making it a primary battleground for achieving carbon peak goals and building a beautiful China [4]. Group 2: Renewable Energy Development - The conference calls for the expansion of green electricity applications, with renewable energy generation capacity increasing from 40% to approximately 60% [8]. - The current renewable energy landscape includes significant annual additions of wind and solar power, with green electricity now constituting one-third of total electricity consumption [8]. - Key areas for expanding green electricity applications include export-oriented enterprises, large corporations enhancing brand image, and local government mandates for high-energy-consuming sectors [8]. Group 3: Key Industry Transformation - The focus on energy-saving and carbon reduction transformations will target high-energy-consuming and high-emission industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, petrochemicals, and data centers [9]. - Successful transformation requires a combination of technology, management, and mechanisms, including the promotion of mature technologies and comprehensive carbon management practices [9]. - The government will support these transformations through subsidies, tax incentives, and green finance to ensure that early adopters benefit [9]. Group 4: Carbon Market Development - Strengthening the national carbon emissions trading market is a key focus, with plans to expand its coverage from the power sector to include steel, cement, and aluminum industries by 2027 [11][12]. - The carbon market is seen as a core policy tool for achieving the "dual carbon" goals, with an emphasis on expanding and deepening its operational mechanisms [12]. - Future developments in the carbon market will include setting scientific quotas, ensuring data authenticity, and exploring financial innovations to mobilize funds towards green and low-carbon sectors [12].
