Development Trend and Prospect of New Energy in Tibet under the Background of Carbon Neutrality

Abstract

In view of the severe situation of global warming, China puts forward the carbon emission reduction target of “achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060”. Among all production activities, the energy sector emits the most carbon dioxide of nearly 90%, followed by the industrial sector of more than 10%. Therefore, the focus of carbon emission reduction is to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector. Tibet possesses unique natural conditions and geographical environment, which is rich in renewable energy and water energy resources. There is a huge space for the development of renewable and clean energy in Tibet. In order to provide sufficient energy for the Tibetan people and achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, Tibet needs to vigorously develop clean energy in the next 40 years. First of all, it is necessary to formulate a systematic energy development plan for the next 40 years, and formulate different energy development plans according to the natural conditions of different regions, so as to put the energy development plan in place. Tibet can not only achieve the goal of carbon neutrality on time, but also contribute to the power transmission from the West to the East.
