In response to China’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, the low-carbon energy and environmental technology subsection will be unveiled to audiences. Upgraded from the theme of energy conservation and environmental protection, the new subsection is further divided into three areas: green energy, building energy conservation and environmental improvements.
The establishment of the special subsection provides a platform for Chinese energy and environmental protection companies to communicate with international peers and thus aid China’s low-carbon transformation and upgrading of energy consumption.
Fifty industry leaders are showcasing their latest technological breakthroughs and innovations. The company’s multimedia interactive model applied in an energy system showcases the prospects of low-carbon transformation through the use of virtual reality technologies. The company is also highlighting its research and development results in green hydrogen and offshore wind turbines.
China addresses the challenges of confronting climate change. Energy transformation is the way to realise carbon neutrality and energy companies should assume due to responsibility. By displaying technologies and services throughout its global low-carbon process, the tech company can provide examples of technology paths for China’s low-carbon development and build a new-type sustainable energy ecosystem with Chinese partners.
Another company exhibiting its products at the low-carbon energy and environmental technology subsection is the international conglomerate Johnson Controls, which will unveil its digital platform in China for the first time.
Digital solutions can work as the brain in the sustainable transformation of urban constructions. The digital platform can track real-time sustainable development indicators of buildings and generate reports of data and energy-saving strategies to help buildings achieve carbon neutrality.
One displays carbon accounting and carbon emissions reduction measures throughout the entire life cycle of new energy vehicles while the other helps the textile industry demonstrate how companies can lower carbon emissions when producing garments.
China will also prioritise its efforts to have CO2 emissions peak in key industrial sectors, including steel, chemicals and cement, by setting specific targets, road maps, action plans and supporting measures. Urban and rural construction as well as the transportation sector will need to go greener as well.
With more input regarding policy, technology and funding, the country will encourage regions where conditions permit to peak their CO2 emissions ahead of schedule. The supervision of local governments and officials will be both intensified, and related work will be included in central environment inspections.
According to an article, China aims to become the global leader in low-carbon tech for a carbon-constrained world. China is today the world’s largest emitter of planet-heating gases, responsible for about 28% of total global emissions.
Accordingly, Chinese researchers have invented advanced technology to reduce C02 emissions, as reported by OpenGov Asia. They developed a series of low-cost, green, and efficient porous nano-SiO2/Al2O3 supported solid amine CO2 adsorbents using solid waste as the main raw materials. Their studies were supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the National Key R&D Program of China, a tech company and have also been published in the well-known journals of Environmental Science & Technology and Chemical Engineering Journal in the environmental and energy fields.
This technology is in line with China’s active participation in global climate governance and insists on promoting CO2 mitigation. General Secretary put forward the ambitious goal of striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 at the 75th United Nations General Assembly.
Humankind can no longer afford to ignore the repeated warnings of nature and go down the beaten path of extracting resources without investing in conservation. Humans cannot always pursue development at the expense of protection, and exploiting resources without restoration.
