Global Energy Interconnection and Environmental Protection

Abstract

The paper discussed a new development strategy—Global Energy Interconnection—and analyzed its role in promoting environmental protection. Typical serious environmental issues are presented at the beginning to show the irresistible and inevitable trend of clean and renewable energy replacing fossil energy in the future. Secondly, definition and key links of global energy interconnection based on Internet technology and clean energy are introduced. Thirdly, feasibility of global energy interconnection as well as positive effects it has on natural environment are analyzed. Besides, we can conclude some obstacles still exist which hinder GEI from developing on a large scale, like financial difficulties and secure obstacles, and give some suggestions on tackling these problems effectively and efficiently.
