On October 17, 2021, the 2021 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition (CWP 2021) was grandly opened in Beijing. 


Since it was first held in 2008, the Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition has gone through 15 years and has become the "wind vane" and "barometer" for the development of the wind power industry. The theme of this conference is "Carbon Neutrality - New Opportunities for Wind Power Development". High-level representatives from governments at all levels, new energy companies, traditional energy industries, power grid companies, industry organizations, universities and research institutes and other institutions have gathered. In one session, discussions were held on topics such as climate change, new power systems, transformation of the oil and gas industry, green finance, and the development of wind power during the 14th Five-Year Plan.


On September 22, 2020, my country proposed a timetable for carbon peaking and carbon neutralization, and it has been one year since then. During this period, all walks of life quickly took action to implement it with unprecedented efforts. It is not only a global environmental governance issue, but also an economic issue in transition to green development, and a political issue for building a community with a shared future for mankind. Bring about broad and profound systemic change. With the proposal of the dual-carbon goal, the wind power industry, as the main force, has ushered in a period of historic development opportunities. However, various challenges still exist, and all parties need to focus on cracking key obstacles and clarifying the direction of the next breakthrough. The convening of this conference is of great significance for identifying the high-quality development path of wind power in the carbon-neutral era to better support the construction of a zero-carbon society.


The opening ceremony of the conference was presided over by Qin Haiyan, Secretary-General of the Wind Energy Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society, Li Junfeng, the first director of the National Center for Climate Change Strategy Research and International Cooperation, and executive director of the China Energy Research Society, Xu Jianzhong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, former State Council Counselor, and China Co., Ltd. Shi Dinghuan, President of the Renewable Energy Society, Bai Sina, Ambassador of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway in China, Wu Qiaowen, Trade Envoy of the Department of International Trade of the British Embassy in China, Dou Wen, Deputy Director and Minister of the Royal Danish Embassy in China, CRRC Group Sun Yongcai, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Company, and Lin Gang, Chief Engineer of China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. delivered speeches respectively. 


Li Junfeng, the first director of the National Climate Change Strategy Research and International Cooperation Center and executive director of the China Energy Research Association, said that the central government proposed to increase the proportion of non-fossil energy to 20% by 2025, and to 25% by 2030. Correspondingly, non-fossil energy The power generation should be increased to 40% and 50%. To achieve this goal, we need to make more solid and active efforts. Because if greenhouse gas emissions are stabilized with some reduction, fossil energy consumption or greenhouse gas emissions from fossil energy should begin to decline, which requires non-fossil energy not only to meet the new energy needs, but also to be replaced by total amount. We bring new opportunities and markets. We should not only meet domestic goals, but also contribute to the global energy transition, especially along the Belt and Road and developing countries. 


Xu Jianzhong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the wind power industry should focus on three issues. As wind power blades become longer and longer, there are still problems in structural mechanics, aeroelasticity and other aspects, which require in-depth research; in offshore wind power, it is necessary to speed up Carry out research on cutting-edge technologies such as floating foundations; it is necessary to promote research on wind and heat, which has broad application prospects and will greatly reduce costs. He emphasized that my country's wind power industry maintains rapid development, but we cannot ignore the scientific and technological problems that exist in it. Some people must sink their hearts to study scientific and technological problems, so as to further reduce the cost and make it more widely used, so that wind power can be used for my country's implementation of dual carbon Goals and make greater contributions to the realization of the energy revolution. 


Shi Dinghuan, former counselor of the State Council and president of the China Renewable Energy Society, pointed out that this year is the first year for the implementation of the dual-carbon goal, marking the entry of a new era in my country's energy development. It is necessary to transform the energy structure and establish a new power system with new energy as the main body, which gives us clear strategic goals and tasks, and makes all wind energy people feel that we have a long way to go. While we are proud of our past achievements, we should also meet New challenges require greater effort. We should jointly promote scientific and technological innovation and promote the emergence of more new technologies, products, materials and application methods. It is hoped that coordination among various new energy sources will be strengthened to achieve multi-energy complementarity. We also need to study how to organically combine wind power with various industries such as industry, transportation, construction, and agriculture. 


Bai Sina, Ambassador of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway in China, introduced that accelerating the research and development of floating offshore wind power technology and projects will enable wind power to make greater contributions to meeting global energy needs.

The guests fully affirmed the role of wind power in addressing global climate change, and believed that the following issues should be addressed: First, how to further develop wind power under the carbon neutrality goal, which requires wind power to extensively absorb various aspects. Based on the development achievements of the party, it has made continuous progress in materials, technology, and digitalization, further reduced the cost, better coordinated with various energy utilization methods such as solar energy, and played a good role in substitution and transformation. Second, the large-scale development of wind power still faces many technical challenges. The fundamental problem of economy and scale is the technical problem. This requires further solutions to problems such as ocean engineering, resource utilization capacity, large-scale application of power transmission technology, and large-scale wind turbine technology. Third, the development of decentralized wind power requires policy encouragement and mechanism innovation. To lower the carbon index, wind power usage scenarios need to be more diversified, from centralized large-area to decentralized wind power development, connecting villages and parks. To this end, it is necessary to further crack the policy bottleneck, solve the problems of people's interests, land and access, make customized solutions for equipment, and innovate development models. Fourth, how to resolve the conflict between wind power development and land. In the process of social and economic development, the land type will not change in the short term, which has not been fully considered in the early stage of wind power development. It requires governments at all levels to have a resilient thinking, respect the objective laws in the process of transformation and development, and form a consensus. In the context of striving to achieve low-carbon transformation, fully consider new development factors and solve the land problem.
