Abstract China has pledged to the world to achieve carbon peak in 10 years and carbon neutrality in 30 years. This is an extremely arduous task, as it faces numerous challenges, including high energy consumption, heavy reliance on coal within its energy mix, and a large base of carbon emissions that must be controlled. To this end, it is necessary to advance the new energy security strategy of “Four Revolutions, One Cooperation” to a deeper level. According to interpretations from various parties, the new energy system is preliminarily summarized to have six features: new energy structure, new system form, new industrial system, new governance system, new system and mechanism, and new regulatory method. Considering building a new energy system comprehensively, “Ten Commitments” have been proposed to help achieve the dual-carbon goals. The specific measures include: ensuring the security and stability of energy supply, accelerating the transformation to green and low-carbon energy, giving priority to energy conservation and efficiency improvement, promoting multi-energy complementation and synergistic and integrated development, enhancing the digital intelligence level in the energy industry, developing centralized and distributed energy, advancing the rural energy revolution, developing critical and core technological equipment and the comprehensive energy service industry, and promoting high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative.
