Study of low-carbon energy development in China: The case of Fujian Province

Abstract

Carbon emissions caused by energy consumption have a serious impact on global climate change, causing serious environmental problems. As one of the world's largest energy consumers and carbon emitters, China needs to attach great importance to low-carbon energy development, and address major environmental issues such as ecological destruction and climate warming. In the process of energy low-carbon development, Fujian Province is faced with a series of challenges in terms of energy structure, social and economic development, capital and technology, etc. However, at the same time, Fujian Province in China also has opportunities to develop energy low-carbon in terms of emission reduction space and rich forest resources. This paper firstly describes the energy consumption situation in Fujian Province and emphasizes the necessity of using low-carbon energy, then analyzes the energy structure of Fujian Province and the relationship between low carbon development and the adjustment of industrial structure in Fujian Province. Finally, this paper proposes that Fujian Province should make use of the advantages of renewable resources to develop a reasonable low-carbon energy development strategy.
