[Weekly Preview] How to Build a Safe and Efficient Energy System(AI Translation)
Listen to the full version
- Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, countries and companies are reevaluating the balance between energy security and transition, with supply chain stability gaining unprecedented attention. China's commitment to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 highlights a significant economic and social transformation towards enhancing oil and gas exploration and developing a new energy system.
- The global shift towards green, low-carbon energy requires both traditional and new energy sources. China's leading role in the new energy sector is evidenced by its substantial exports in new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products. Industry leaders emphasize the importance of seizing reform opportunities for development, balancing supply stability with transformation, and building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system.
- Challenges include ensuring energy supply amid growing demands and transitioning to green energy. Key strategies involve increasing domestic oil and gas production, promoting nuclear power as a clean energy source, leveraging technological innovations for efficiency improvements, fostering international cooperation for resource acquisition, and encouraging private sector participation to enhance global competitiveness in the new energy landscape.

近年来，新冠疫情与地缘政治冲突叠加，各国、各企业都在重新思考能源安全与能源转型的平衡问题，供应链安全与能源安全受到空前重视；未来数十年，能源的生产成本、供应链、效率和稳定性，面临高度不确定性。
In recent years, the overlay of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts has prompted nations and corporations alike to reassess the balance between energy security and energy transition. The security of supply chains and energy has garnered unprecedented attention; in the coming decades, the production costs, supply chains, efficiency, and stability of energy face high levels of uncertainty.
统筹能源安全与能源转型，是全球谋划能源发展共识的需要；而在其间如何寻求平衡亦充满挑战。
Coordinating energy security with energy transition is a necessity recognized globally in planning energy development; finding a balance between them is also full of challenges.
中国在2020年9月对全世界承诺“2030年碳达峰、2060年碳中和”（下称“双碳”）目标。2022年10月发布的党的二十大报告指出，实现“双碳”是一场广泛而深刻的经济社会系统性变革，并强调要加大油气资源勘探开发和增储上产力度、加强能源产供储销体系建设，确保能源安全，同时加快构建新型能源体系。
In September 2020, China pledged to the world its goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, commonly referred to as the "dual carbon" targets. The report from the Communist Party's 20th National Congress in October 2022 highlighted that achieving these "dual carbon" objectives represents a broad and profound systemic transformation of the economic and social system. It emphasized the need to increase efforts in oil and gas resource exploration, development, and production capacity enhancement, strengthen the construction of the energy production, supply, storage, and marketing system to ensure energy security while accelerating the establishment of a new energy system.
