Abstract
In this session, the situation and challenge related with energy is introduced and discussed. Energy, especially power generation, data are displayed to show that low carbon transition has already started in China. Some major factors that could influence future carbon emissions are further discussed. Finally, per the worry that China’s coal power equipment export may delay the global carbon peaking, the power equipment export data of the last four years are checked and prove the worry is not necessarily correct.
