       The press conference on the "Outlook of Wind and Solar Technology under China's Carbon Neutrality Goals", hosted by the Institute of Carbon Neutrality at Tsinghua University and hosted by the School of Environment at Tsinghua University, was recently held. More than 20 experts jointly discussed key issues and future paths for the development of wind and solar technology at the conference.

      During the report release phase, Lu Xi, Assistant Dean of the Carbon Neutrality Research Institute and Professor of the School of Environment at Tsinghua University, as well as the overall convener of the report, introduced the main content of "Outlook on Wind and Solar Technology under China's Carbon Neutrality Goals". The report points out that in the context of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, China's future wind and solar power generation will develop exponentially.

     Under the goal of carbon neutrality, China's installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach more than ten times the total installed capacity of wind and solar power in 2020 by 2060. With the continuous development of wind and solar power technology and the improvement of power generation efficiency, the installed capacity of wind and solar power in 2060 will reach more than thirteen times the installed capacity of wind and solar power in 2020. It is expected that by 2030, 2035, 2040, 2050, and 2060, the total installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power will reach 45%, 55%, 65%, 75%, and 83% of the total installed capacity of all power sources, respectively. It is expected that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power in China will reach 2200-2400 gigawatts by 2030, and 5496-7662 gigawatts by 2060.

        Based on the natural resources and existing energy installation characteristics of each region, the report suggests that the North China, Northwest China, and Northeast regions focus on developing onshore wind power; Although the onshore wind energy resources in the eastern and southern regions of China are relatively weak, there are abundant offshore wind power resources, so the focus should be on developing offshore wind power; The North and Northwest regions have abundant solar radiation resources and should focus on promoting the development of centralized photovoltaic power generation; Although the solar radiation resources in East, Central, and Southern China are relatively weak, considering the large demand for electricity supply, we should vigorously develop distributed photovoltaics based on industrial and commercial building areas.
