The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held the 12th group study session on new energy technology and the country’s energy security.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, stressed during his chairmanship of the session that energy security is related to the general situation of economic and social development, and that actively developing clean energy and pushing the transformation of economic and social development towards green and low-carbon development has become a general consensus of the international community.
On confronting global climate change. We must follow this general trend and move forward by taking advantage of the favorable situation, redoubling efforts to promote the high-quality development of new energy in our country, providing safe and reliable energy guarantee for the construction of China-style modernization, and making greater contributions to the joint construction of a clean and beautiful world.
Professor Liu Jiechen, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Director of the National Key Laboratory of Alternative Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, explained this topic and gave his suggestions for work.
The comrades in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China listened to his explanation and discussed and discussed it.
After listening to the explanation and discussions, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, noting that the country has worked since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to accelerate the construction of a new energy system and continue to lay the foundation for energy security, which has provided strong support for economic and social development. at the same time; It must be known that energy development in our country still faces a series of challenges, such as enormous demand pressures, many supply constraints, and the arduous tasks of shifting to the direction of green and low-carbon development. In order to meet these challenges, the way out is to vigorously develop new energy.
Xi Jinping stressed that our country is rich in wind energy, photovoltaic energy and other resources, and has huge potential for new energy development.
Thanks to the continuous settlement of intractable problems and the accumulation of experience, our country has taken the lead in several new energy technologies and equipment manufacturing levels, and the largest clean energy electricity supply system in the world has been built. New energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have formed a strong competitive ability in the international market, and therefore have the advantage of The development of new energy in our country has a good foundation, and our country has become an important catalyst for the transformation of energy development and confronting climate change at the global level.
Xi Jinping pointed out the need for good coordination between the issues of new energy development and energy security in the country, focusing on planning before taking action, strengthening the overall high-level design and doing a good job in comprehensive planning, and paying attention to well dealing with the relations between new energy and traditional energy, and between the situation.
General and micro situation, between government and market, between energy development and conservation, etc., promoting high-quality development of new energy.
Xi Jinping stressed the need to keep pace with the world’s leading energy science and technology, focus on key areas and important needs for energy, choose the right path for technological innovation, give full play to the advantages of a new nationwide resource mobilization system, and strengthen joint efforts to resolve intractable problems related to core technologies. Decisive, promoting the transformation and application of scientific research achievements, and developing energy technology and related industries to develop new growth points, advance the country’s industrial upgrade, and develop new productive forces.
Xi Jinping pointed out the need to adapt to the requirements of the energy transition, strengthen the construction of the new energy infrastructure network well, advance the reform of the electricity network infrastructure based on smart technology and build the smart micro-electricity grid, and improve the ability of the electricity network to absorb, distribute, coordinate and control clean energy. With it. The construction of the charging infrastructure network system should be accelerated, and the rapid development of new energy vehicles should be supported.
Xi Jinping stressed the importance of deepening international cooperation in scientific and technological innovation. It is also necessary to advance cooperation in the new energy industrial chain in an orderly manner, and create a new win-win pattern for green and low-carbon energy transformation. We must engage deeply in reforms on international energy governance, and advance the construction of a global energy governance system that is fair, just, balanced and inclusive.
At the end of the speech, Xi Jinping stressed that in order to achieve self-reliance and self-strengthening in the field of science and technology, we must not only adhere to the general direction of development of science and technology currently, but also adhere to keeping the initiative in our hands, and the two guiding directions for solving the problem must be highlighted. Issues and demand, and raising the efficiency of investments in scientific and technological innovation.
