On July 6, the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) was held in Shanghai. During the conference, Hu Jianjun, Vice President and Chief network and information Security Officer of Siemens (China) Co., LTD., was invited to participate in the Intelligent Trend Forum with the theme of “Intelligent Help dual carbon Trace”, which is one of the WAIC industry sub-forums.

In the keynote speech and round table discussion, Hu Jianjun made a wonderful introduction on the topic of scientific and technological innovation to accelerate green, low-carbon and high-quality development, he believes that the first key to accurately calculate the carbon footprint is the “ruler” to be accurate, in the flexible production workshop, due to the wide variety of products produced by the assembly line, the traditional manual calculation method can not meet the needs of accurate calculation of carbon footprint. In order to effectively and accurately calculate the carbon footprint of the flexible production process, an accurate “ruler” is needed, and only when the “ruler” is accurate can we obtain real and credible carbon emission data and continue to promote various carbon reduction initiatives. At the same time, green low-carbon must be a chain reaction, relying on a single enterprise or the strength of the head of the enterprise is far from enough, should be with the help of various forces including the government, certification bodies, enterprises, etc., to jointly promote green low-carbon development, to create a healthy and benign low-carbon ecosystem. In addition, enterprises of different sizes face different problems and needs in the process of green and low-carbon development, so the carbon footprint also needs to “divide and rule”.

Excerpts from speaking points:

Accelerating industrial green development is the general trend to promote global sustainable development, and digital low-carbon is the core strategy to promote green, low-carbon and high-quality development. The current domestic 1+N policy system, green manufacturing, and overseas markets, including the EU, have a clear demand for carbon footprint; More and more enterprises take green and low-carbon development as one of their core strategies to create a new type of green competitiveness.

The carbon footprint needs to run through the whole value chain, and leading enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in the industrial chain are facing green and low-carbon transformation.
The core of green and low-carbon transformation is to empower science and technology, especially for the benefit of small and medium-sized enterprises, to solve the time and cost challenges faced in the transformation.

SiGREEN and the Carbon footprint series of SaaS services, with the power of scientific and technological innovation, help enterprises to find out their own “carbon background”, gradually build independent carbon management capabilities, so as to specify carbon reduction strategies.
SiGREEN uses innovative technologies such as energy management, industrial edge computing and digital experience accumulated in the manufacturing process to accurately calculate and trace the carbon emission data of industrial products in the manufacturing process.
SiGREEN applies blockchain technology to build a crypto trust network to realize the trusted and safe exchange and sharing of carbon emission data in the value chain, and works with partners and suppliers to create a low-carbon ecosystem that runs through the whole chain, enabling the industry to achieve green and low-carbon transformation.
SiGREEN relies on digital twin/carbon twin technology to realize the digital simulation of the entire life cycle of products from raw materials to manufacturing.
How to “divide and rule” the green and low-carbon development of smes?

Siemens has launched a series of SaaS services for small and medium-sized enterprises, including a free entry service and a paid select service, to help them achieve the low-carbon transition “zero to one” breakthrough. Smes can register for Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform.

Product carbon footprint series SaaS services can meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises to self-check product carbon emissions. After successful registration, enterprises can enjoy a 90-day free trial of product carbon footprint entry service, meeting the needs of enterprise product carbon footprint online modeling support, product carbon footprint online rapid estimation, online product carbon footprint analysis report generation, default mainstream carbon emission factor database.

At the same time, enterprises can pay for carbon footprint selection services, bulk import and export of product carbon information, complete the generation and export of carbon inventory reports, use more industry carbon emission factor libraries, and obtain online product technical guidance from industry experts. The carbon footprint selection service can connect with the online verification and certification of mainstream certification bodies, and enterprises can seamlessly carry out online carbon verification and obtain certification after completing their own assessment, which can meet their own comprehensive product carbon management and disclosure needs more efficiently, conveniently and at a lower cost.
