At present, Hengqin Guangdong Macao deep cooperation zone is uniting forces of all parties to build Hengqin Island into an international "zero carbon island". This means that all carbon dioxide generated on the island will be consumed on the island, and the whole island will achieve zero carbon emission. As early as 2013, the state power investment started to build a comprehensive smart energy project in Hengqin, providing a "super large air conditioner" for this subtropical island, reducing the power consumption for cold source electric refrigeration by about 13million kwh each year, equivalent to reducing the emission of carbon dioxide by about 5000 tons. "In the future, Hengqin will build a smart energy innovation center, gather talents, technologies and funds of smart energy all over the world, and move towards the goal of 'zero carbon island'." Said qianzhimin, chairman of State Power Investment Group Co., Ltd. (Hengqin Island in Zhuhai under construction, Macao in the upper left corner of the picture (photographed by UAV on november4,2017) The transformation of Hengqin is the epitome of Guangdong, a province with a large economy, population and energy consumption, exploring the road to balance the "double carbon" goal. In 2021, Guangdong will support about 8.9% of the country's permanent population and 10.9% of the country's total economic output with about 7% of the country's energy consumption. Guangdong has a high degree of dependence on foreign energy, and the further optimization and adjustment of energy structure faces multiple constraints. In this regard, based on its own development stage, resource endowment, industrial structure, energy structure and other basic characteristics, Guangdong vigorously develops offshore wind power and photovoltaic power generation, and strives to break the situation. On both sides of Guangdong's more than 4000 km coastline, the construction of clean energy projects such as wind power and photovoltaic is in full swing, which not only changes the landscape here, but also changes people's production and life style at an unprecedented speed. Haiyan Town, Taishan City, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, has an endless array of photovoltaic arrays on the seashore beach about 8km long and 1km wide. Under the sunshine, the photovoltaic panels are shining, and the fishermen support a small boat to shuttle under it. By the end of 2021, the first phase of the 500 MW fishery photovoltaic power generation project in Haiyan Town, Taishan, Guangdong Province, with a total investment of about 2.2 billion yuan, was successfully connected to the grid. After the full capacity of the project is connected to the grid, it will become the largest "fish light complementary" integration project in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area. Photovoltaic panel arrays are set up above the water surface to generate electricity by using solar energy. Characteristic aquaculture is developed in the water area below, so that the water space can be used three dimensionally. Chenlan, deputy general manager of Guangdong Electric Power Design and Research Institute of China Energy Engineering Group, introduced that after the full capacity of 500MW is connected to the grid, 543million kwh of clean electric energy can be provided every year to meet the annual power consumption of 110000 households. Compared with coal-fired power plants of the same scale, it can save about 193000 tons of standard coal and reduce about 534000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, which is equivalent to the carbon sequestration of about 75000 mu of forest in Dawan District, and also equivalent to planting trees in 20% of the jurisdiction of Haiyan town. According to the data, 17 new offshore wind power projects will be put into operation in Guangdong in 2021, with a new installed capacity of 5.49 million KW and a new PV installed capacity of 2.25 million KW. During the "14th five year plan" period, Guangdong will increase the installed capacity of offshore wind power by about 17million kW, and accelerate the promotion of clean energy projects such as photovoltaic, hydrogen and nuclear energy. (on May 29, China's first far-reaching offshore floating wind power equipment "Fuyao" was towed from Maoming Guanggang wharf to luodousha sea area for demonstration application (UAV photo) Reduce steel production capacity, ban ground bars, shut down small thermal power units, and continue to carry out energy-saving and carbon reduction technological transformation in key industries such as petrochemical, steel and cement; A breakthrough was made in legislation and the regulations of Guangdong Province on green buildings was issued; Accelerate the building of a low-carbon transportation infrastructure network, and vigorously promote new energy vehicles... In the fields of industry, urban and rural construction, transportation and so on, Guangdong continues to promote and focus on. In the Guangzhou carbon emission right exchange, the constantly bouncing numbers on the big screen are invisible and intangible carbon dioxide. Since the pilot of carbon emission trading was launched in Guangdong in september2012, the cumulative trading volume of carbon emission quotas in Guangdong has exceeded 200million tons, with a cumulative trading amount of about 5billion yuan. This is a journey of value discovery - by melting the carbon dioxide emission rights, unrelated enterprises and enterprises, even enterprises and individuals, have established connections through exchanges. "In the past decade, the biggest innovation of Guangdong carbon trading pilot project is to incorporate forestry carbon sequestration into the whole trading market mechanism. So far, forest carbon sequestration has increased the income of forest farmers by more than 60million yuan in Guangdong Province." Meng Meng, general manager of Guangzhou carbon emission rights exchange, said. (this is the green chemical industry and hydrogen energy industrial park under construction in Binhai New Area, Maoming City, Guangdong Province (taken on November 4, 2021, UAV photo) At present, the carbon neutralization policy system of Guangdong carbon peak has initially taken shape, the implementation opinions on completely, accurately and comprehensively implementing the new development concept to promote carbon neutralization of carbon peak has been printed and implemented, the implementation plan of Guangdong carbon peak has been prepared, and the "double carbon" schedule, road map and construction drawing of Guangdong are slowly unfolding. "Guangdong Province will strive to remain at the forefront of the country in terms of energy consumption per unit of GDP and carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 2030. The proportion of non fossil energy consumption will reach about 35%, and the forest coverage rate will reach about 59%. The carbon peak goal will be achieved on schedule." Xie Jianbiao, deputy director of the resource conservation and environmental protection division of the Guangdong Development and Reform Commission, said. (Xinhua News Agency)
