Global energy transition revolution and the connotation and pathway of the green and intelligent energy system

The essence of energy system transition is the “energy revolution”. The development of the “resource-dominated” energy system with fossil energy as the mainstay has promoted human progress, but it has also triggered energy crisis and ecological environment crisis, which is not compatible with the new demands of the new round of scientific and technological revolution, industrial transformation, and sustainable human development. It is in urgent need to research and develop a new-type energy system in the context of carbon neutrality. In the framework of “technique-dominated” new green and intelligent energy system with “three new” of new energy, new power and new energy storage as the mainstay, the “super energy basin” concepts with the Ordos Basin, NW China as a representative will reshape the concept and model of future energy exploration and development. In view of the “six inequalities” in global energy and the resource conditions of “abundant coal, insufficient oil and gas and infinite new energy” in China, it is suggested to deeply boost “China energy revolution”, sticking to the six principles of independent energy production, green energy supply, secure energy reserve, efficient energy consumption, intelligent energy management, economical energy cost; enhance “energy scientific and technological innovation” by implementing technique-dominated “four major science and technology innovation projects”, namely, clean coal project, oil production stabilization and gas production increasing project, new energy acceleration project, and green-intelligent energy project; implement “energy transition” by accelerating the green-dominated “four-modernization development”, namely, fossil energy cleaning, large-scale new energy, coordinated centralized energy distribution, intelligent multi-energy management, so as to promote the exchange of “two 80%s” in China’s energy structure and construct the new green and intelligent energy system.
