I don't know when, to be able to see the blue sky when looking up has become people's greatest wish. The smog permeating all over the country is difficult to dissipate, and it is miserable to keep coming back. The threat of smog has also caused more people to pay attention to environmental protection and energy structure adjustment, and strive to find a cure for smog.

In fact, smog problems have appeared in many countries around the world, and developed cities such as New York and London have not been spared. From the perspective of global governance experience, using cleaner energy and filtering waste gas are important solutions. Today, the proportion of renewable energy in the global energy consumption structure is increasing day by day. The maturity of related technologies and the improvement of infrastructure have laid a solid foundation for the further adjustment of the global energy consumption structure.

One of the important driving forces currently driving the transformation of energy consumption is the gradual reduction in the cost of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy. Solar and wind power are becoming cheaper than traditional fossil fuels, according to a report published by the World Economic Forum. In recent years, the price of renewable energy has dropped rapidly. Under the condition of producing the same amount of electricity, the price of using solar power to generate electricity is only one-sixth of what it was 10 years ago. Under the guidance of low cost, more and more companies invest in the field of solar energy. According to statistics, the number of new solar panels in the United States can reach 125 per minute.

It is worth noting that the global renewable energy market is in full swing, and the traditional developed countries such as the United States and Europe may no longer occupy a dominant position in it. According to foreign media reports, the investment of Chinese enterprises in the field of renewable energy has repeatedly hit new highs. In 2016 alone, Chinese enterprises invested nearly 32 billion US dollars in the acquisition of overseas renewable energy and power transmission assets. The International Energy Agency predicts that from 2015 to 2021, China will account for 36%, 40%, and 36% of global hydropower, wind power, and solar power increments, respectively.

According to a report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, in 2015, China's renewable energy investment accounted for one-third of the world's total investment. The report pointed out that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China's new investment will mainly focus on improving the interconnection and flexibility of the power system, strengthening the consumption of renewable energy, and actively expanding emerging power needs such as electric vehicles.

In fact, my country has already begun to carry out relevant plans on energy conservation, emission reduction and renewable energy. A few days ago, the State Council issued the "13th Five-Year Plan" Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, which proposed to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, implement "Made in China 2025" in depth, and accelerate the development of emerging industries. By 2020, energy conservation, environmental protection, new energy The total output value of green and low-carbon industries such as equipment and new energy vehicles exceeded 10 trillion yuan, becoming a pillar industry. In the field of energy, it is required to promote the optimization of the energy structure, strengthen the safe and green development and clean and efficient utilization of coal, and encourage the use of high-quality energy such as renewable energy, natural gas, and electricity to replace coal. In addition, it is also proposed that by 2020, the proportion of coal in total energy consumption will drop to less than 58%, the proportion of thermal coal in coal consumption will increase to more than 55%, the proportion of non-fossil energy in total energy consumption will reach 15%, and the proportion of natural gas consumption will increase. increased to about 10%.

At the same time, the country recently released the "13th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development", indicating that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the total installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in China will increase by an average of 42.5 million kilowatts per year. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the total investment in renewable energy will reach 2.5 trillion yuan.
