According to the speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao at the UN Climate Change Summit on September 22, China will vigorously develop renewable energy and nuclear energy, and strive to achieve 15% of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption by 2020.
Li Junfeng believes that China is a large developing country and China’s economy is still in a period of rapid growth. It is actually quite difficult to achieve this goal. Although the corresponding targets set by Europe and Japan are 20%, the energy consumption in Europe and other places is now declining, and China’s energy consumption is still growing at a rate of about 5% per year. Therefore, China’s indicators are consistent with those of Europe. The indicators are not the same. China's 15% is actually harder to achieve than 20% in Europe, and China needs great efforts. Although China needs to make further efforts, it is not easy to propose a higher goal. At the same time, the development of a low-carbon economy requires both the promotion of government policies and the need for people to change their own consumption concepts.
The 2009 China Clean Energy International Summit hosted by the China International Chamber of Commerce and the British "Financial Times" and organized by Baiyue Media takes the theme of "Clean Energy - The Future of Mankind, Shared Responsibility", from the perspective of energy, finance and government at home and abroad. More than 300 government officials, entrepreneurs, and experts and scholars in the field held dialogues on topics such as clean energy development policies, fossil energy cleanliness and new energy development.
The Chinese government is one of the most active governments in the world to develop new energy
“While we cannot say that China’s policy of promoting new energy development is sufficient, we can say that the Chinese government is one of the most active governments in the world to develop new energy sources.†Li Junfeng, deputy director of the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, is in 2 Held at the 2009 China Clean Energy International Summit.
