在“双碳”目标下，电力部门作为最大的碳排放来源以及支撑终端电气化发展的重要行业，需实现以化石能源为主向可再生能源为主的电力系统转型。煤电作为典型的碳密集型行业，从排放占比和减排潜力来看，实现低碳转型是我国在2060年前力争实现碳中和的关键点。

近日，国家发改委印发《“十四五”生物经济发展规划》，这是我国首部生物经济五年规划，其中提到，开展新型生物质能技术研发与培育，推动化石能源向绿色低碳可再生能源转型；要培育壮大生物经济支柱产业，推动生物能源产业发展；要有序发展生物质发电，推动向热电联产转型升级。

“十三五”以来，在政策措施的有力推动下，我国北方清洁取暖和散煤治理工作取得积极成效，农村空气质量得到明显改善。

China's recent commitment to curb coal consumption and coal-fired power projects has sent a strong signal that the country will unswervingly reduce its reliance on coal as a dominant source of energy, experts said.

China strives to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. How can China achieve these goals? What do they mean to China and the world?

While global attention centers on China's economic targets as top officials meet in Beijing to map out blueprints for the country's development over the next five years and beyond, policies on environmental protection, specifically reducing carbon emissions, are expected to be highlighted in the new 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), Chinese experts said.

Though the United States is planning to leave the landmark Paris climate agreement, the door for Sino-US climate cooperation remains open, said Kevin Rudd, the former Australian prime minister.

BEIJING, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- China is on fast track in its transition to a green economy as the country is taking concrete and innovative steps to that end, according to an environmental expert.

China's efforts to combat climate change have yielded fruitful results and its leadership will be vital in the future as countries join hands to tackle the urgent problem, government officials and industry leaders said on Wednesday.
