Research on Energy Restructuring in China in the Context of Global Warming

Abstract

Considering global warming, the development of countries and the normal life of people around the world have been affected. In addition, other derivative issues arising from global warming have impacted the entire planet's ecology. One of the primary causes of the rise in global temperatures is energy burning. China is a major coal energy-consuming country. Therefore, it has been searching for a cleaner and lower carbon energy mix in recent years. This paper investigates the current status of China's energy mix upgrade using literature research and case studies and finds that China currently suffers from a lack of clean energy technologies, uncertainty about the direction of alternative energy choices, and narrow social coverage of energy optimization plans. To address these problems, this study argues that China's energy mix upgrade should f develop traditional energy clean technologies, seek new alternative energy sources and include more social elements to help transform the energy mix toward cleanliness and low carbonization. New energy development has a key role in this paper, and therefore, the findings of this paper are beneficial to the further development of China's new energy sector. In addition, this paper further calls for more social elements to participate in the process of energy mix optimization, which helps to transform the public's awareness, reduce global CO2 emissions, and prevent further global temperature rise.
