Abstract

Since fossil energy is not renewable, it will eventually be exhausted. At the same time, with the emission of carbon dioxide, the earth’s temperature rises, resulting in the melting of glaciers, sea level rise and a series of environmental problems. This paper discusses the technical challenges and system establishment and implementation challenges to achieve carbon neutrality, and discusses some approaches to achieve carbon neutrality. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, China should fully develop the advantage of having the world’s largest water energy reserves; Vigorously develop nuclear power by utilizing advanced nuclear power technology; Promote industrial structure adjustment actively at the national policy level; Promote carbon trading and promote the mature operation of carbon trading market. The conclusion is that replacing fossil fuels is technically feasible and requires international consensus on policy.
