https://doi.org/10.38050/2078-3809-2024-16-3-35-46
Abstract
The article traces the transformation of China's energy strategy in the post-war period. The policy documents of the People's Republic of China concerning the development of the country's energy sector are systematized, the degree of their practical implementation is analyzed, and the level of achievement of the country's Sustainable Development Goals in the field of energy is assessed.
The restructuring of the energy sector that has occurred over the past 20 years is reflected in a decrease in the share of coal generation due to an increase in the share of natural gas and renewable energy sources in the country’s energy balance. In addition, the efficiency of using energy resources is growing, as evidenced by the rate of decline in the energy intensity of the economy. The results of the study confirm China's progress towards increasing the efficiency of use of energy resources in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
