Abstract:

Seeing that re-electrification is the most feasible way for energy transformation in terms of technology and economy, it plays a key role in achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutralization in China as scheduled. In order to systematically evaluate the impact of re-electrification, the re-electrification path in China is comprehensively analysed from three prospects, economy,society and environment. A multi-dimensional evaluation index system is built to evaluate its impact on economic development, industrial transformation, employment and environment protection, giving a quantitative analysis result of the influence on socio-economy. The research results show that re-electrification is of great significance to China's carbon neutralization since it facilitates the construction of an electricity-centred modern energy system, promotes the innovation and industrial application of technologies related to electrification and low carbon, stimulates open employment, secures human health and reduces costs of carbon reduction.

Key words: re-electrification, carbon neutralization, economic development, industrial transformation, open employment, environment protection, comprehensive evaluation, cost of carbon reduction, electrical energy alternative
