KEBA-BL460 The latest hydrogen supercar, a stand made from recycled waste, a practice case of a zero-carbon factory and a zero-carbon park… During the fourth China International Import Expo (hereinafter referred to as the “Expo”), a technological innovation, embracing low-carbon life exhibits in the “four-leaf clover” presented, there are a number of exhibition areas added energy-saving and environmental protection areas, some exhibitors show the cutting-edge “double carbon” technology and concept, brought “zero carbon” new products.
KEBA-BL460 Siemens, the “old face” of the Expo, set up a zero-carbon exhibition area for the first time, focusing on showing comprehensive solutions to help the green and low-carbon development of the industry; Haier biology has brought the innovative application of Stirling refrigeration technology, taking the free piston Stirling refrigerator as an example, it uses pneumatic technology for expansion refrigeration, not only green and low carbon, but also can achieve a cooling capacity of not less than 300W under -86, efficient refrigeration.
KEBA-BL460 On the whole, there are more and more exhibitors actively joining the ranks of “green” at the Expo, which will also inject strong impetus into the national and even global green development.
The report “Overseas Enterprises Look at China 2021” shows that the new business opportunities brought about by the implementation of China’s “dual carbon” target have further enhanced the attractiveness of the Chinese market for international enterprises. Many enterprises realize that Chinese consumers’ awareness of sustainable development is constantly improving with the promotion of green transformation, and green and low-carbon consumption has become a new trend in China’s consumer market. Many of these companies have taken action to accelerate the sustainable development of their business in China and plan to provide greener and more sustainable products for the Chinese market.
KEBA-BL460 Yin Zheng, global executive vice president of Schneider Electric and president of China, said that China’s “dual carbon” goal shows the responsibility of a big country. “China’s industry is showing two major trends of green low-carbon and industrial upgrading, which provides new space for Schneider Electric’s development in China.”
“The Chinese government’s ‘double carbon’ goal has taken China’s green economy and sports fashion development to a new level, and the realization of this goal requires FILA’s full participation.” ‘Sustainable fashion’ is not a slogan, it is a KEBA-BL460 FILA action.” FILA China president Yao Weixiong said.
Zhai Jingli, vice president of APP(China) of Sinar Mas Group, said that the CIIE is an important platform for China to actively open its market to the world and an important window for building a “double cycle” pattern. With the countdown to the entry into force of the ASEAN-led RCEP Regional Economic integration Cooperation agreement, for Indonesian overseas Chinese enterprises, the CIIE is a “China opportunity” that cannot be missed.
Chen Tao, chairman of Zhongshan Environmental Protection Industry Co., LTD., who participated in the Expo for the first time this year, said: “The service trade exhibition area of the Expo takes’ sharing, co-promotion and symbiosis’ as the core concept, providing a platform for sustainable development for the majority of exhibitors. This year is the first year of carbon neutrality, and the core of carbon neutrality is the transformation and upgrading of technology. Forward-looking enterprises have taken this as a link to increase resource investment in carbon emission reduction, ecological governance, circular economy, resource recovery and other aspects, and urged the industry to lead the realization of the dual carbon goal on time.”
In addition to the low-carbon development presented by the exhibitors, the venues of this Expo also practice the concept of energy conservation. According to media reports, the energy station of Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center, located in the core area of the Expo, is jointly invested and operated by Huadian Fuxin and Lianmei Holdings, and adopts the world’s most advanced distributed natural gas “cold, hot and power triple supply” technology. The system uses natural gas to generate electricity, and executes the operation mode of “cold and hot fixed electricity, self-use, surplus electricity online”.
KEBA-BL460 In addition, driven by the “double carbon” goal, green and low-carbon transformation has become a common trend in China. In this context, the development of green finance has entered a fast lane.
During the CIIE, China Pacific Insurance Co., Ltd. reached a “carbon quota + pledge + insurance” cooperation with Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange, Shenneng Carbon Technology Co., LTD., and Bank of Communications Co., LTD., and landed the country’s first carbon emission quota pledge loan guarantee insurance business, which is the latest attempt by financial institutions to help achieve the goal of “carbon peak, carbon neutrality”.
KEBA-BL460 On how to further improve and develop China’s green financial system, Chen Yulu, Deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, put forward four points of view: First, to fully and accurately understand the “double carbon” goal and connotation; Second, we need to continuously improve and enrich the toolbox of green financial support policies. Third, in-depth study on how finance can support low-carbon economic transformation; Fourth, continue to actively promote international cooperation and coordination in the field of green finance.
KEBA-BL460 Ma Jun, director of the Green Finance Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Finance, also put forward five suggestions: First, improve and refine the evaluation standards and credit mechanism of green finance, which will help guide the healthy flow of green funds into green projects and help reduce costs; Second, the development of green finance is inseparable from the incentive mechanism, and it should be more widely used. Designing more products to help reduce the investment costs of green projects; Fourth, pay attention to investor education. Investors who really want to invest in green projects are needed in the market, and with the expansion of investment groups, the cost of green financing in the market will fall. At present, most institutional investors do not have a deep preference for green, and pay more attention to the rate of return; Fifth, strengthen international cooperation and truly open up market channels.
KEBA-BL460 Ning Gaoning, chairman of Sinochem Holdings Co., said the main problem facing petrochemical companies is cost. In the past two years, China’s petrochemical industry has been obviously restricted by the framework, reducing energy consumption emissions, “now mainly look at standards, one is transportation standards; The second is the process standards, from consumption to the product itself to meet the inspection objectives. From the perspective of enterprises, either they want to change, or the market forces them to change, or shut down.”
“China continues to achieve new results in promoting green and low-carbon economic and social transformation. With a clear road map and action plan, China is showing the world its ambition to achieve its climate goals.” Patricia Espinosa, Executive secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
At present, the Expo also brings the concept of green consumption, eat organic, use healthy, buy green, favored by many consumers, and behind this is the awakening of consumers’ awareness of green low-carbon consumption. In addition, the landscape greening and flower arrangement outside the exhibition hall are equally pleasing to the eye, and everywhere presents a new atmosphere of green, beauty and sharing.
