Since the reform and opening up, my country’s economy has grown rapidly, becoming the world’s second largest economy, and its energy consumption has continued to increase. Extensive use of traditional energy sources severely damages the ecological environment, and due to its non-renewable characteristics, the world today is facing a shortage of resources, which is not conducive to sustainable economic development. In this context, countries have begun to vigorously develop and utilize new energy. Therefore, this article first introduces the concept, characteristics and basic classification of new energy in order to have an in-depth understanding of it; then analyzes the impact of the development and utilization of new energy on the environment and economic growth; and finally puts forward relevant suggestions on how to better develop and utilize new energy.
