Gao said he expects by 2050, fossil energy will account for less than 10 percent of global energy. With the development of energy storage technology, he added, clean energy such as photovoltaic and wind energy will effectively solve the problem of unbalanced production time for clean energy.

To achieve carbon neutrality, the first thing is to achieve zero carbonization of the power system, solve stability problems with wind and photoelectricity plus energy storage, and solve balance and transmission problems with smart grids and terminal power, he said.
