Low-Carbon Economy (Model of Economic Development to Reduce High-Carbon Energy Consumption) – Background

With the development and utilization of biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, water energy, geothermal energy, fossil energy, nuclear energy, etc., human society has gradually moved from the agricultural civilization of primitive society to the modern industrial civilization. However, with the increase of the global population and the continuous growth of economic scale, the environmental problems and consequences caused by the use of conventional energy sources such as fossil energy are constantly recognized by people. , and the global climate change brought about by the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been recognized as a serious consequence of human destruction of the natural environment, unhealthy production and lifestyle and the use of conventional energy. In this context, “carbon footprint”, “low-carbon economy”, “low-carbon technology”, “low-carbon development”, “low-carbon lifestyle”, “low-carbon society”, “low-carbon city”, “low-carbon A series of new concepts and new policies such as the “world” came into being. As a result of the major changes in energy, economy and even values, it may lead to a new path for gradually moving towards ecological civilization, that is, abandoning the traditional growth model of the 20th century and before, directly applying the innovative technologies and innovative mechanisms of the new century, and adopting low-carbon economic model and way of life to achieve sustainable social development.

In the context of global warming, the “low carbon economy” based on low energy consumption and low pollution has become a global hotspot. Developed countries in Europe and the United States vigorously promote the “low-carbon revolution” with high energy efficiency and low emissions as the core, focus on the development of “low-carbon technology”, and make major adjustments to policies on industry, energy, technology, trade, etc. to seize the opportunity and the commanding heights of the industry . The battle for a low-carbon economy has quietly started around the world.

Low-carbon economy means that under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, through technological innovation, institutional innovation, industrial transformation, new energy development and other means, the consumption of high-carbon energy such as coal and oil can be reduced as much as possible, and greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced to achieve It is a form of economic development that achieves a win-win situation between economic and social development and ecological environmental protection.

“Low carbon economy” first appeared in government documents in the 2003 British energy white paper “Our Energy Future: Creating a Low Carbon Economy”. As a pioneer of the first industrial revolution and an island country with limited resources, the United Kingdom is fully aware of the threat of energy security and climate change. It is moving from a self-sufficient energy supply to an era of relying mainly on imports. According to the consumption pattern in 2003, It is estimated that 80% of the UK’s energy will have to be imported in 2020. And, the effects of climate change are already imminent.

The sustainable development of human beings also needs to be considered. The sales packaging of products with sustainable development in the market needs to be transformed from traditional plastic packaging materials to recycled plastic films that are sustainable for the environment and future generations, kraft paper degradable materials, biodegradable, Plant starch is degradable, photodegradable and other environmentally friendly materials.
