Huzhou, August 16 (China News Service) (Bao Mengni) On August 15, the "Carbon Neutrality and Intelligent Energy Connection" seminar hosted by the Tsinghua University Carbon Neutrality Institute was held in Huzhou, Zhejiang, where academic experts discussed the transformation of the energy system towards carbon neutrality.

At present, about 82% of China's energy consumption is fossil energy, and China has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, with non-fossil energy consumption accounting for more than 80%. In the view of Zhang Xiaoye, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Neutrality Testing and Assessment Center of the China Meteorological Administration, China is taking a carbon neutrality path that comprehensively coordinates development and security while taking into account international responsibilities.

"China needs to propose a global emission reduction scenario design plan based on its own path, rhythm, method and intensity of reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions," said Zhang Xiaoye.

In 2021, the China Meteorological Administration completed the construction of the first carbon sink monitoring and verification support system (CCMVS), which can objectively, comprehensively and timely monitor and verify changes in total anthropogenic carbon emissions and changes in carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems at global, national, provincial, municipal and grid scales.

"This system solves the problem of transparency and normalization of global carbon balances at multiple scales. On this basis, we can more accurately predict future climate change, the risks caused, the resilience of different cities, etc. in a global scenario and form China's research." Zhang Xiaoye said.
