Abstract
Energy transformation requires energy producers to pursue energy conservation and emission reduction, control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and produce and supply clean low-carbon energy. Based on the principle of balanced scorecard, this paper selects the data on China Shenhua Energy Company Limited (China Shenhua) of 2015–2019, systematically analyzes the influence of energy transformation on environmental protection effect of energy enterprises, and measures the environmental responsibility level (ERL). The results show that, in the context of energy transformation, Chine Shenhua always attaches great importance to ecoenvironment protection, vigorously develops clean, safe, and efficient energy, implements key tasks like green mine construction and ultra-low emission upgrading, promotes pollution control and ecoenvironment governance, takes measures of energy conservation and emission reduction, and continuously steps up the level of carbon emissions control, thereby steadily improving ecological civilization.
Highlights
The world is at a critical juncture of energy transformation
China has been facing a heavy obligation of emission reduction, a tremendous environmental pressure, and a growing energy constraint. e energy development in China has several major problems: (1) the total energy consumption is constantly rising, calling for more efficient use of energy; (2) the energy structure is unreasonable, bringing a huge carbon emission pressure; (3) the ultra-high dependence on foreign energy threatens the energy security; (4) the traditional energy is oversupplied, the new energy develops slowly, and technical innovation is far from sufficient [4]
From the perspective of carbon neutralization in 2060, the systematic research on the Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society implementation path of carbon neutralization target is carried out, and the quantitative target of carbon emission reduction by stages is proposed, which is compared with the existing targets in the fields of climate, energy, and environment, such as carbon intensity target, energy intensity target, nonfossil energy proportion target, renewable energy development target, total energy consumption control target, and coal consumption target
Summary
The world is at a critical juncture of energy transformation. Facing common problems like energy shortage, environmental pollution, and climate change, all countries join hands to take consistent actions to curb global ecoenvironment degradation and promote green, low-carbon economic development through energy transformation [1], kicking off a worldwide energy revolution with the theme of developing and utilizing renewable energy [2]. Under the current model of energy development, it is difficult to assure national energy security or promote coordinated development between economy, society, and environment, not to mention fulfilling the pledge to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. From the perspective of carbon neutralization in 2060, the systematic research on the Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society implementation path of carbon neutralization target is carried out, and the quantitative target of carbon emission reduction by stages is proposed, which is compared with the existing targets in the fields of climate, energy, and environment, such as carbon intensity target, energy intensity target, nonfossil energy proportion target, renewable energy development target, total energy consumption control target, and coal consumption target. Taking China Shenhua Energy Company Limited (China Shenhua) as an example, the authors enumerated the environmental responsibility of the enterprise under energy transformation, measured the fulfillment of that responsibility, i.e., the environmental responsibility level (ERL), and presented strategies for the enterprise to further improve its ERL
