The Prime Minister said: "Environmental recovery and economic regeneration must go hand in hand. As we look ahead to hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference next year, I set out to set out an ambitious plan for a green industrial revolution that will transform the way we live in the UK."
On November 18, local time, the United Kingdom officially announced the "Ten-Point Plan for Green Industrial Revolution":
First, offshore wind energy. Powering every household with offshore wind power, the UK will quadruple wind power generation to 40 GW by 2030.
Second, hydrogen energy. By 2030, achieve 5 GW of low-carbon hydrogen energy production capacity to supply industry, transportation, electricity and residences; and build cities and towns powered entirely by hydrogen energy within ten years.
Third, nuclear energy. Develop nuclear energy as a source of clean energy, including large nuclear power plants and developing the next generation of small, advanced nuclear reactors.
Fourth, electric vehicles. End the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030 - ten years earlier than originally planned - and end the sale of hybrid cars by 2035. while also improving the UK’s national infrastructure to better support electric vehicles. In this way, the UK will become the first G7 country to decarbonise road transport.
Fifth, public transportation, cycling and walking. Make cycling and walking more popular modes of travel and invest in zero-emission public transport that is fit for the future.
Sixth, Jet Zero Council and Green Shipping. Helping industries that are difficult to decarbonize become greener and cleaner through research projects into zero emissions from aircraft and ships.
Seventh, residential and public buildings. Make homes, schools and hospitals greener, cleaner, warmer and more energy-efficient; install 600,000 heat pumps by 2028.
Eighth, carbon capture. Become a world leader in technology to capture and store harmful gases in the environment, with plans to remove 10 million metric tons of carbon dioxide by 2030.
Ninth, nature. Protect and restore the natural environment and plant 30,000 hectares of woods every year.
Tenth, innovation and finance. Develop more cutting-edge technologies to achieve the above new energy goals.
