What type of energy is used in Mongolia?

In Mongolia, total primary energy supplies continue to be dominated by coal, and electricity generation is largely provided by coal-fired power plants, particularly combined heat and power plants. In 2018, 93% of all electricity was produced by thermal power plants, and 98% of all district heat was provided by coal-fired systems.

What are the three energy transition policy paths in Inner Mongolia?

This paper utilizes the energy transition experiences of other nations and applies them to the specific context of Inner Mongolia to formulate three energy transition policy paths: developing renewable energy scenario, developing CCS technology scenario, and the carbon pricing scenario.

Is Inner Mongolia a good place to invest in wind and solar energy?

Leveraging its advantages in wind and solar energy resources, Inner Mongolia, supported by national energy policy, has prioritized the development of the wind power and photovoltaic industries, the scale of the industry has been steadily increasing.

Why is Inner Mongolia important to China?

As an important strategic energy base in China, Inner Mongolia's energy exports are dominated by coal and electricity. Under the background of “double carbon” target, the energy transition of Inner Mongolia is of great significance to China's energy security and carbon emission reduction.

Can Inner Mongolia achieve a low-carbon energy transition?

Therefore, both international experience and the realistic conditions in Inner Mongolia indicate that Inner Mongolia can realize a low-carbon energy transition through phasing out coal and advancing renewable energy development.

How will Inner Mongolia affect China's Energy Security?

If Inner Mongolia focuses on short-term carbon reduction, it can promote energy transition and reduce carbon emission by promoting carbon pricing in the early stage, but this energy transition path will affect China's energy security.
