For fossil energy stakeholders represented by coal enterprises and coal power enterprises, we should take precautions and properly make future transformation arrangements < p > in the environmental economic research published on September 30, Shi Xunpeng said that energy transformation, as an important means to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, is not only a process of reshaping the energy system and "new" energy replacing "old" energy, but also social and economic systematic changes such as economic structure change, regional revitalization, industrial reform and workers' retraining. Energy transformation even affects international relations through foreign investment and energy trade < p > he analyzed that the growth and decline of fossil energy and renewable energy sectors in the transformation means that the main producing areas and employees of fossil energy need to turn to sustainable alternative economy and job opportunities. In the foreseeable future, energy transformation requires the establishment of new infrastructure and technologies, which will push up the price of energy services and bring greater economic pressure to low-income people. In addition to causing unemployment and asset damage in the extractive industry, energy transformation will also lead to the sustainable development of mining enterprises, mining areas and mining cities, and even exacerbate regional inequality < p > Shi Xunpeng said that although fossil energy and renewable energy are two aspects of the coin of energy transformation, the current research and policy practice are more focused on re energy issues, and the breadth and depth of research on fossil energy stakeholders are relatively insufficient. Energy transformation research and policies prefer "new" to "old" < p > recently, power rationing notices have been issued in many places across the country, some enterprises have staggered peak production or stopped production, and even the power consumption of residents in some areas has been affected. However, these problems are relatively lagging behind in research and early warning < p > Shi Xunpeng said that compared with renewable energy, there is little discussion on the socio-economic issues related to the transformation of fossil energy. In terms of the overall global situation, the transformation of the coal industry is often "insufficient expectation and poor management" < p > the impact of energy transformation on fossil energy stakeholders is inevitable. The picture shows a coal enterprise facing shutdown. Photography / Zhang Ke < / P > < p > China is the largest coal consumer in the world. Data show that in 2020, coal consumption accounted for 56.8% of China's total energy consumption of 4.98 billion tons of standard coal and 54.3% of the global coal consumption. In 2020, the assets above Designated Size of fossil energy mining and processing industry, electric heating and gas production and supply industry will reach 30.25 trillion yuan, accounting for 23.86% of the total assets of all industrial enterprises above designated size. In 2019, the number of employees in fossil energy mining, fuel processing and thermal power production reached 2.99 million, 570000 and 2.78 million respectively < p > Shi Xunpeng said that in the future, it is very likely to eliminate most of the coal and most of the oil and gas in less than 30 years, which means that a large number of assets and jobs will disappear. It is particularly important that these coal production activities are concentrated in a few economically underdeveloped areas. Energy transformation has a greater impact on resource exhausted cities and independent mining areas with relatively single industrial structure and heavy historical burden < p > according to the first financial reporter, the international society for energy transformation has recently put forward a number of suggestions to relevant national departments on energy transformation. Shi Xunpeng said that the purpose of energy transformation is to realize the sustainable development of human society and avoid sports energy conservation and carbon reduction beyond the development stage < p > he said that due to China's vast territory and large regional economic development gap, not all regions can realize energy transformation simultaneously. Differentiated energy transformation plans should be constructed to adapt to this regional heterogeneity. Formulate employment and economic diversification plans as soon as possible, create employment, and support labor training, employment development and regional economic transformation in mining areas dominated by fossil energy industry < p > < p > Shi Xunpeng believes that at present, we should make a good plan for the orderly exit of fossil energy as soon as possible. Even the relatively more competitive coal enterprises should make a good plan to deal with the impact in the future. The government should focus on safety production and environmental protection standards, determine the exit standards and phased plans for the fossil energy industry, and avoid strong intervention by administrative means in the exit process < p > Shi Xunpeng said that the order of withdrawal of fossil energy enterprises should follow clear standards, such as requiring backward and inefficient enterprises to withdraw first. At the same time, we strive to use market-oriented means such as carbon market and energy rights trading to further reduce the total cost of energy transformation. For groups including fossil energy enterprises, miners and mining areas, a "bottom-up protection" plan should be formulated to ensure that they do not fall behind in the energy transformation
