From June 1 to 2, the 2023 Industrial Green Development Conference was held in Guangzhou. With the theme of “Accelerating the Green and low-carbon Transformation of Industry and promoting high-quality economic development”, the conference is co-hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Guangdong Provincial People’s Government and Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government. Wen Qiming, General Manager of Solutions and Services business of Siemens China Intelligent Infrastructure Group, was invited to attend and delivered a speech at the parallel conference on “International Cooperation for Industrial Green Development”.
Wen Qiming said that under the Chinese government’s “3060” dual-carbon target, many enterprises have accelerated the green and low-carbon transformation. With a history of more than 170 years, Siemens, with its rich professional experience, takes top-level planning, delivery and implementation and subsequent operation and maintenance services into consideration from the perspective of the whole life cycle, to provide customers with professional and customized one-stop digital and zero-carbon solutions. As an enabrer of digital and low-carbon transformation, Siemens combines digital technologies, innovation capabilities and industry knowledge such as hardware, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence to actively support the preparation of China’s zero-carbon series standards, and empowers industrial parks and industrial enterprises to accelerate green and low-carbon transformation through comprehensive energy management and digital “end-to-end” integrated solutions.
A summary of his speech is as follows:
Under the severe situation of global climate change, the contradiction between carbon reduction and economic development is increasingly intensified. Industry is a major carbon emitter, but also the foundation of the economy, China can not reduce carbon emissions to slow down development. Therefore, how to balance carbon emissions and economic development will be one of the core problems that China needs to face in the coming decades. We believe that improving zero-carbon standards, applying digital low-carbon technologies and strengthening international cooperation are the keys to solving the problem.
On July 1, 2023, the “Zero-carbon China Evaluation Standards General Rules”, “Zero-carbon Park Evaluation Standards” and “Zero-carbon Factory Evaluation Standards” edited by the Energy Investment Committee of the China Investment Association will be officially released. With a comprehensive portfolio of digital and low-carbon technologies and deep industry insight, Siemens is honored to be the main participant in this series of standards.
In July 2022, Siemens officially released the “Siemens China Zero Carbon Smart Park White Paper”, combining the global and Chinese carbon peak and carbon neutral status quo and trend, analyzed and proposed the definition and architecture of zero carbon smart park, the core pain points and breakthrough points of various parks, and shared Siemens’ consulting services, solutions, innovative technology and successful practices in the field of zero carbon park. To provide guidance for the research and exploration of zero-carbon parks.
With the deepening of China’s carbon reduction efforts, industrial parks and enterprises have realized that scientific top-level design is a prerequisite for the success of the green carbon reduction transition, and the implementation of carbon reduction projects in isolation will cause investment waste and inefficiency. The full life cycle solutions of Siemens cover consulting, planning, design, project implementation and service vertically, and cover the energy supply side, distribution network and energy use side horizontally, enabling customers in different industries to provide “end-to-end” solutions.
Taking the Siemens Center (Beijing) as an example, by deploying a comprehensive digital energy carbon management platform, photovoltaic power generation, digital operation and maintenance platform, as well as optimizing and upgrading the refrigeration room and lighting system, it can achieve an average annual carbon dioxide emission reduction of 1,250 tons.
Taking MOBO Smart Industry Park in Changshu High-tech Zone as an example, through the deployment of Siemens’ full range of vertical solutions and the deployment of the Internet of Things dedicated platform, the use of big data, cloud computing, 5G, edge computing and Internet of Things and other technologies to cluster, clean and analyze the enterprises and all kinds of energy and operation data in the park. Building a digital integrated management cockpit for the whole life cycle of assets can greatly improve the park’s intelligent operation capability and green and low carbon efficiency, and play a demonstration effect for the low-carbon construction and operation of industrial parks.
As a technology company with more than 170 years of history, Siemens has always been committed to innovation and sustainable development, which is highly in line with the Chinese concept of “innovation-driven high-quality development”. In the future, Siemens will continue to use digital and low-carbon innovation technologies and work closely with ecological partners to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of China’s industrial infrastructure.
