We should beef up basic research on measuring carbon footprints and carbon sinks. In addition, efforts should be made to reform the system for carbon emission assessment. As we strive to promote the transformation of the energy mix and industrial structures, we should steadily develop hydro power, safely develop nuclear power and speed up development of wind and solar power, as well as hydrogen. There should also be consistent endeavors to boost the development of new energy vehicles and guide the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry. We should build up a low-carbon market on the demand side. Aside from accelerating carbon emission allowance trading, we should include carbon sink and energy consumption rights in the trading market. The first priority is to build an open and unified national electricity market. The mechanism for power prices should be reformed. The market trading system should also be reformed in an innovative manner to allow companies to purchase different types of clean energy directly.
