Facing the dual pressure of domestic environmental pollution and international climate change mitigation, China, the world’s largest emitter of carbon emissions, has proposed a “double carbon” target of 3060. Fujian Province is a clean energy province and a major economic province in southeastern China, with inherent energy conservation and emission reduction advantages. However, as industrialization is still in progress and urbanization is accelerating, the problems of low industrial level and sloppy development are still prominent, and the future low-carbon transformation will be difficult and long.
