“…For example, the government has set the goal of increasing the proportion of non-fossil fuel sources in the national energy structure to 20% by 2030, reaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030, and striving to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2060 [56]. As of 2021, although China's coal-fired power generation still accounts for about 55% of the country's total electricity generation [57], the generation of clean energy is also constantly increasing, especially the scale of wind and photovoltaic power generation, which has surpassed many developed countries. The Chinese government has also taken a series of measures to strengthen the environmental governance of coal-fired power generation, including strengthening the technical equipment for desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal in coalfired power plants, as well as gradually phasing out old high energy consumption and high pollution thermal power generation units.…”

In order to achieve the ambitious goal of “carbon neutrality”, countries around the world are striving to develop clean energy. Against this background, this paper takes China and Italy as representatives of developing and developed countries to summarize the energy structure composition and development overview of the two countries. The paper analyzes the serious challenges facing the future energy development of both countries and investigates the possibilities of energy cooperation between the two countries, taking into account their respective advantages in energy development. By comparing the policies issued by the two governments to encourage clean energy development, this paper analyzes the severe challenges faced by the two countries’ energy development in the future and combines their respective energy development advantages to look forward to the possibility of energy cooperation between the two countries in the future. This lays the foundation for China and Italy to build an “Energy Road” after the “Silk Road”.
