recently, a chinese new energy vehicle transport ship set sail from germany. previously, the ship had transported thousands of new energy vehicles to spain, the united kingdom, the netherlands, germany and other places to meet the growing demand of the local market. chinese car companies told international sharp review that they will launch 6 to 7 such ro-ro ships in the next three years to help more chinese green products "go overseas" and promote the development of local new energy industries.

this is a microcosm of china's high-quality production capacity benefiting the world. on the 29th, the chinese government released a white paper on china's energy transformation, which used a large amount of data and vivid cases to show the achievements of china's energy transformation in the past decade, as well as its important contributions to global green development and building a clean and beautiful world.

at present, the world is facing common challenges such as maintaining energy security and responding to climate change, and it is also facing common opportunities to accelerate the green and low-carbon development of energy. as the world's largest energy producer and consumer, china actively practices the concept of green development and promotes the development of clean energy into the fast lane. for example, in the past decade, more than half of the increase in china's total electricity consumption has been new clean energy power generation; the annual new installed capacity of renewable energy accounts for more than 40% of the world; the cumulative energy consumption per unit of gdp has decreased by more than 26%... the international energy agency pointed out in the "renewable energy 2023" report that china is the global leader in renewable energy and the main driving force for the rapid and large-scale growth of renewable energy in the world.

the "green" content of china's energy has continued to increase, which has not only enriched the global supply and reduced the cost of global energy transformation, but also made important contributions to global green development and climate change response.

at present, china is the world's largest renewable energy market and equipment manufacturer. the high-quality, high-efficiency, and cost-effective new energy products it produces provide more choices for global consumers and ease global inflationary pressure. statistics show that from 2014 to 2023, the proportion of global non-fossil energy consumption increased from 13.6% to 18.5%, of which china's contribution rate was 45.2%. the international renewable energy agency report pointed out that in the past 10 years, the average cost per kilowatt-hour of global wind power and photovoltaic power generation projects has fallen by more than 60% and 80% respectively, a large part of which is attributed to china's contribution.

at the same time, china continues to promote high-level opening up to the outside world, creating new opportunities for deepening international cooperation in clean energy. recently, multinational companies such as general electric and siemens have steadily increased their investment in china's energy sector, and foreign-funded projects such as the french electric power group's offshore wind power project, shanghai tesla's electric vehicle manufacturing project, and nanjing lg's new energy battery project have been implemented in china. china actively promotes the liberalization and facilitation of energy trade and investment, allowing foreign-funded enterprises to better share the dividends of china's energy transformation, and also promotes global green and low-carbon development.

more importantly, as the world's largest developing country, china has not only pledged to achieve carbon neutrality from carbon peak in the shortest time in global history, but also continued to help the world reduce emissions and promote global energy sustainable development. data shows that in 2023, china's exported wind power and photovoltaic products helped other countries reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 810 million tons. some analysts pointed out that china has become the "ballast stone" for the global response to climate change.

why is china "capable"? this is inseparable from the support of many factors. thanks to continuous technological innovation, a complete industrial chain and supply chain, sufficient market competition, and a super-large market, china has accelerated its own new energy development while actually promoting the world's energy transformation. chinese power battery manufacturer catl told international sharp review that innovation is their core competitiveness in development. "we promote global energy transformation and accelerate the pace of responding to climate change through technological openness."

china has proved with its own development that what the world needs is not green barriers, but joint efforts to promote green transformation. china's promotion of energy transformation is not required by others, but it is something it takes the initiative to do, because it conforms to the general trend of global energy development, meets china's requirements for high-quality development, meets the needs of the world, and reflects the responsibility of a major country. it can be foreseen that in the process of china's high-quality development, the "green" content of energy will continue to increase, injecting more "chinese power" into global green development and addressing climate change.
