Abstract:China has pledged to reach peak carbon dioxide emission by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2060 at the Seventy-Fifth Session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2020. As the largest energy consumer and emitter of greenhouse gases, carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets have posed a high requirement for China's sustainable development of energy and economy. In recent years, even though the growth rate of China's energy consumption has decreased, and carbon dioxide emissions gradually enter the plateau, fossil fuels still supply more than 80% of the energy consumption in China. Besides learning from the adjustment of energy consumption structure in developed countries, it is worth discussing in-depth about the change of the strategic path of energy transition and how to advance energy transition under carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets, the strategic goals in China's economic and social developments. It is also an important action in China's energy revolution. Furthermore, it is an important step to achieve the development of civilization. China needs to keep working on how to reduce carbon emission, to find the optimal strategic path, and to reach the equilibrium between carbon dioxide emission reduction and economic development in the fields of electrical engineering, industry, civil engineering, and agriculture along the path towards carbon neutrality.
