Abstract
China consumes increasing amounts of energy to maintain high rates of economic growth. According to the IEA forecast, in 2030 the peak of consumption and, accordingly, emissions will be reached, then by 2060 consumption will gradually decrease due to increased energy efficiency and the country’s policy of substitution with renewable energy sources. Integration of higher shares of variable renewable energy sources (wind, solar) into China’s generating structure requires greater use of new ways to ensure energy system flexibility, such as energy storage, hydrogen storage to ensure energy security. Greater electrification of end-users facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources by increasing the flexibility to respond to changing demand, such as electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Demand management, as well as hydrogen production through coal gasification or steam reforming, will allow China to reduce emissions in the long term.
