One of the most pressing challenges for China to meet its commitment to cover carbon emissions and commit to renewable energy this decade is to upgrade its electricity grid, according to some of the world’s largest officials, officials and analysts.
Researchers say the biggest emissions by 2030 would become carbon neutral by 2030 and 2060, according to a forecast made by Beijing last year.
Analysts say it is easy to build new solar plants and wind farms. Upgrading a system that transmits green energy to remote consumers can be five times more expensive and will depend on rapid technological advancement.
“When we talk about challenges, most people focus on the electricity grid,” said Chunping Xie, an expert on China’s climate change and energy policies at the London School of Economics and Political Science. “It’s the first step in this long journey.”
