Abstract

Posljednjih nekoliko godina, pojam energetske tranzicije našao je mjesto u energetskoj politici mnogih država, a proizvodnja energije iz obnovljivih izvora postala je prioritet. Daljnja upotreba velike količine energije iz fosilnih goriva utječe na klimatske promjene te je neophodna energetska tranzicija prema čistoj energiji.
Na primjeru Kine, kao najmnogoljudnije zemlje na svijetu, u radu je analizirana energetska tranzicija, a na temelju podataka pojašnjena je važnost Kine u cjelokupnom procesu energetske tranzicije. Važno je spomenuti da je Kina najveći svjetski proizvođač ugljena, ali i potrošač i uvoznik te čini gotovo polovinu globalne potrošnje ugljena. Korištenje energije temeljene na fosilnim gorivima olakšava ekonomski rast, ali također onečišćuje okoliš.
Upotreba fosilnih goriva u Kini izazove duplo više preuranjenih smrti u odnosu na EU što ukazuje na značajne troškove zdravstvenog sustava kao i gubitak ljudskih života.
Iz svih prethodno navedenih razloga, Kina je preuzela globalno vodstvo kada je riječ o proizvodnji energije iz obnovljivih izvora te je samim time postigla ogroman napredak u transformiranju proizvodnje energije na ekološki prihvatljivije načine. Isto tako kineski energetski sustav prolazi kroz značajnu transformaciju s niskim udjelom ugljika kako bi se postigli ciljevi vezani za energetsku politiku i strategiju do 2030. odnosno 2050/60. godine.

Abstract (english)

The concept of energy transition has found a place in the energy policy of many countries, and the production of energy from renewable sources has become a priority.Further use of large amounts of energy from fossil fuels is affecting climate changes and energy transition to clean energy is necessary.
On the example of China, as the most populated country in the world, based on gathered data this paper analyzes China's energy transition, and the importance of China in the process of energy transition is explained. It is important to mention that China is the world's largest coal producer, but also a consumer and importer that accounts for almost half of global coal consumption. The use of energy based on fossil fuels facilitates economic growth, but also pollutes the environment.
The use of fossil fuels in China causes twice as many premature deaths than in the EU, indicating significant health care costs as well as loss of life.
For all reasons above China has taken global leadership when it comes to renewable energy production and has thus made tremendous progress in transforming energy production in more environmentally friendly ways. Likewise, China’s energy system is undergoing a significant low-carbon transformation to achieve its energy policy and strategy goals by 2030 and 2050/60.
