In 2021, the total amount of renewable energy use in my country reached 750 million tons of standard coal

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 24 (Reporter Dai Xiaoshi) In 2021, my country's total renewable energy utilization reached 750 million tons of standard coal, accounting for 14.2%of the total energy consumption, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.95 billion tons, to achieve "" The "double carbon" goal lays the foundation.

This is the data disclosed by the "China Renewable Energy Development Report 2021" issued by the General Institute of Hydropower and Water Resources Planning and Design on the 24th.

Li Sheng, general manager of the General Institute of Hydropower and Water Conservancy Planning and Design, introduced that in 2021, my country's renewable energy installed capacity exceeded 1 billion kilowatts, accounting for 44.8%of the national power installed capacity. The installed capacity ranks first in the world; renewable energy power generation is 2.48 trillion kWh, accounting for 29.7%of the total power generation. The utilization rate of renewable energy continued to increase, and the utilization rates of hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic power generation throughout the year reached 97.9%, 96.9%, and 98%, respectively.

Li Sheng said that in 2021, my country's conventional hydropower was put into production 18 million kilowatts, and large conventional hydropower stations were 38 million kilowatts at the construction machine, of which the newly approved scale was 3.6 million kilowatts. The new parallel installation machine was 16.9 million kilowatts; the newly added capacity of solar power generation was 54.93 million kilowatts; the new parallel installation capacity of biomass power generation was 8.08 million kilowatts, which was a record high. At present, there are more than 200 million kilowatts of pumping power storage power stations in my country.

The report pointed out that as of the end of 2021, my country's conventional water power installed capacity reached 354 million kilowatts, water pumping capacity was 36.39 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation of hydropower was 1.34 trillion kWh; The installed capacity of solar power generation was 306 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation was 327 billion kilowatt -hours; the biomass installed capacity was 37.98 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation was 163.7 billion kilowatt -hours.

Xiong Minfeng, deputy director of the New Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, said that as of the end of May this year, my country's renewable energy installed capacity reached a new high, and the power generation installed capacity exceeded 1.1 billion kilowatts. The rapid development of renewable energy has made positive contributions to building a clean and low -carbon, safe and efficient energy system.
