The Chinese Academy of Sciences launches a strategic action plan to support carbon peaking and carbon neutrality

On March 2, the Chinese Academy of Sciences held a press conference in Beijing to officially announce the "Chinese Academy of Sciences' Science and Technology Supporting Carbon Peak Carbon Neutrality Strategic Action Plan"
.

The "Action Plan" has systematically laid out eight major actions, including scientific and technological strategic research, basic frontier cross-innovation, breakthroughs in key core technologies, comprehensive demonstration of new technologies, talent support and cultivation, international cooperation support, innovation system capability improvement, and "two-carbon" science popularization
.
Facing the major scientific and technological needs of the "dual carbon" strategy, with scientific and technological innovation as the core task, in the fields of energy and carbon sinks, from basic research, key core technology breakthroughs to comprehensive demonstration, the whole chain layout, while focusing on the tasks of scientific and technological innovation, in the construction of talent teams, International cooperation, platform conditions, and science popularization and dissemination are all-round support and guarantees, and 18 key tasks are specifically implemented
.

The "Action Plan" clarifies the development goals at different stages in the near-term, medium-term and long-term: by 2025, break through several key technologies that support carbon peaking, promote low-carbon and green economic and social transformation, and explore subversive and transformative solutions to support the goal of carbon neutrality Sexual Technology
.
Clarify the mechanism of carbon sinks, form scientific plans for monitoring and accounting of carbon sources and sinks, and provide scientific basis for relevant national decision-making; make breakthroughs in key technologies such as fossil energy, renewable energy, nuclear energy, and carbon sinks; promote comprehensive demonstrations of low-carbon technologies in key industries, support Industrial green transformation and development
.

By 2030, the key technologies supporting carbon peaking will reach the international advanced level, which will strongly support the achievement of carbon peaking goals; major breakthroughs will be made in the scientific principles and key technologies supporting carbon neutrality, and technological reserves and solutions will be provided for carbon neutrality goals
.
Propose and verify a number of original new principles and disruptive technologies; build a multi-energy integration technology system and an ecosystem-based technology system focusing on new energy; form low-carbon transformation and development system solutions for key industries, and demonstrate carbon neutrality The district provides systematic technical support
.

By 2060, a batch of original and disruptive technologies will be broken through and applied, which will strongly support the realization of the carbon neutrality goal
.
To build a green, low-carbon, circular development economic system and a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, and to achieve the strategic goal of carbon neutrality, it provides scientific foundations, key technologies and system solutions.
International leading level
.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has deployed and implemented "the essence and regulation of energy chemical conversion", "transformative clean energy key technologies and demonstrations", "thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear energy system", "carbon budget certification and Related Issues", "Beautiful China Ecological Civilization Construction Science and Technology Project", "Earth Big Data Science Project" and other strategic leading science and technology projects, in the basic theory of energy conversion, key technologies of fossil energy and renewable energy, advanced nuclear energy systems, global climate change A number of original and major achievements have been made in the aspects of pollution prevention and control and comprehensive management
.
In October 2021, the Chinese Academy of Sciences specially deployed the pilot project of "Clean Combustion and Low-Carbon Utilization of Coal", which aims to ensure the security of China's energy and industrial chain by breaking through key technologies such as flexible peak shaving of coal-fired power generation, and support the strategy of powering the country with energy
