The press conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' science and technology support "dual carbon" strategic action plan was held

At the press conference, Zhang Tao, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and member of the Party Leadership Group, said that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the main force of the national strategic science and technology force. As a "national team" and "national person", it must be concerned about "national affairs". "Carrying "national responsibility" on our shoulders. In order to thoroughly implement the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the Chinese Academy of Sciences strengthened top-level design, gave full play to the advantages of multi-disciplinary institutionalization, and organized academicians and experts to form an "action plan" after nearly half a year of discussion and condensation. . The "Action Plan" is an open science and technology plan that keeps pace with the times and will be adjusted and updated according to the international situation and national strategic needs.

Ding Chibiao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Bureau of Major Scientific and Technological Tasks of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced the main contents of the “Action Plan”. The "Action Plan" focuses on solving key core scientific and technological issues, promotes the construction of a green, low-carbon circular development economic system and a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, promotes the energy revolution, promotes industrial optimization and upgrading, and accelerates the green and low-carbon scientific and technological revolution. , actively support my country's participation in and leadership in global climate governance, and provide strong scientific and technological support for the country to achieve its strategic goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. The "Action Plan" systematically lays out eight major actions, including scientific and technological strategic research, basic frontier cross-innovation, breakthroughs in key core technologies, comprehensive demonstration of new technologies, talent support and cultivation, international cooperation support, innovation system capacity improvement, and "double carbon" science popularization. Facing the major scientific and technological needs of the "dual carbon" strategy, taking scientific and technological innovation as the core task, we have laid out the entire chain from basic research, key core technology breakthroughs to comprehensive demonstration in the fields of energy, carbon sinks and other fields. All-round support and guarantees are provided in terms of international cooperation, platform conditions, science popularization and dissemination, and 18 key tasks are implemented in detail.

The "Action Plan" clarifies the different stages of short-term, medium-term and long-termDevelopment goals: By 2025, break through a number of key technologies that support carbon peaking, promote the low-carbon green transformation of the economy and society, and explore disruptive and transformative technologies that support the goal of carbon neutrality. Clarify the mechanism of carbon sinks and form a scientific plan for monitoring and accounting of carbon sources and sinks to provide scientific basis for relevant national decisions; break through key technologies such as fossil energy, renewable energy, nuclear energy, and carbon sinks; promote comprehensive demonstration of low-carbon technologies in key industries and support Industrial green transformation and development. By 2030, the key technologies that support carbon peaking will reach the international advanced level, strongly supporting the realization of the carbon peaking goal; major breakthroughs will be made in the scientific principles and key technologies that support carbon neutrality, and provide scientific and technological reserves and solutions for the carbon neutrality goal. Propose and verify a number of original new principles and disruptive technologies; build a multi-energy integration technology system and an ecosystem sink-enhancing technology system focusing on new energy; form a low-carbon transformation and development system solution for key industries to demonstrate carbon neutrality The district provides systematic technical support. By 2060, a number of original and disruptive technologies will be developed and applied, which will strongly support the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality. To build a green, low-carbon, circular economic system and a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, and to achieve the strategic goal of carbon neutrality, we provide scientific foundations, key technologies and system solutions, and technologies such as carbon emission reduction and carbon sequestration increase achieve International leading level.

Lu Qinggang, a researcher at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhang Suojiang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Yu Guirui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a researcher at the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, respectively focused on the "Double Carbon" goal, it introduces the work basis, research progress and future considerations in energy production, green low-carbon processes in traditional industries, ecosystem observation and carbon sinks.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has previously deployed and implemented the "Essence and Regulation of Energy Chemical Conversion", "Key Technologies and Demonstration of Transformative Clean Energy" and "Thorium-based Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Energy System" in the "dual carbon" field. "Carbon budget certification and related issues in response to climate change", "Beautiful China Ecological Civilization Construction Science and Technology Project", "Earth Big Data Science Project" and other strategic leading science and technology projects, in the basic theory of energy conversion, fossil energy and renewable A number of original and major results have been achieved in key energy technologies, advanced nuclear energy systems, global climate change, pollution prevention, control and comprehensive management. In October 2021, the Chinese Academy of Sciences specially deployed the "Clean Combustion and Low-Carbon Utilization of Coal" pilot project, aiming to ensure the security of my country's energy and industrial chain and support the strategy of becoming an energy power through breakthroughs in key technologies such as flexible peak shaving of coal-fired power generation.

At the same time, inThe Faculty of Science and Technology of the Academy of Sciences gave full play to its role as a think tank and launched a major "carbon neutrality" consulting project at the end of 2020, led by three academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ding Zhongli, Zhang Tao and Gao Hongjun, and participated by more than 100 academicians from across the country. Set up nine topics to carry out consultation and research, clarify the technology research and development system for the three ends of "power generation", "consumption end" and "carbon fixation end", and carry out carbon-neutral development of "carbon control-carbon reduction-low carbon-neutral" Roadmap and other research work.

Based on the national “dual carbon” strategic goal, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will strengthen unified leadership, innovate systems and mechanisms, coordinate resources and superior forces, clarify the division of tasks, consolidate work responsibilities, and organize multi-disciplinary “double carbon” projects. Carbon" strategic research team continues to promote the "Action Plan" to provide strong scientific and technological support for the country to achieve the strategic goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
