He Lifeng: Don't engage in "carbon charge" and don't engage in sports "carbon reduction"

On the morning of March 5, after the opening meeting of the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress, the first "Minister's Channel" interview was held
.
He Lifeng, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, answered questions from reporters on the implementation of the "dual carbon" policy
.

He Lifeng said that achieving carbon peaking by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council after reviewing the situation and considering the national conditions
.
This is a major event that we must do ourselves, and it is a broad and profound economic and social change.
At the same time, the promotion of "double carbon" must be a game of chess across the country
.

He Lifeng introduced that for more than a year, the National Development and Reform Commission, as the lead unit of the Office of the Leading Group for Carbon Neutralization, has coordinated and orderly promoted the "dual carbon" work
.
One is to speed up the completion of the top-level design
.
The Party Central Committee and the State Council have issued opinions on the "double carbon" work and the carbon peak action plan.
The National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments have studied and formulated and successively issued implementation plans for key areas.
17 provinces have completed the "double carbon" implementation plans.
The convergence of other provinces is also speeding up
.
The second is to comprehensively promote the implementation of the top-level design
.
For example, 450 million kilowatts of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases are planned to be built in deserts, Gobi, and deserts, which are the largest in the history of our country
.
Neighboring coal-fired power companies should insist on establishing first and then breaking down, build ultra-supercritical generating units, orderly transform old units that consume more than 300 g/kWh of coal for power supply, and build safe and reliable UHV power transmission and transformation lines, which will constitute an energy supply and a new system of consumption
.
Now all walks of life are in accordance with the new standards, solidly promoting renovation and vigorously developing green and low-carbon high-level projects, which will create huge business opportunities and development opportunities
.

At the same time, He Lifeng emphasized that we do not engage in "carbon charge", nor do we engage in sports-style "carbon reduction"
.
We will implement the deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, vigorously, orderly and effectively promote the "dual carbon" work, and we will be able to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
We are fully confident in this
