The development of human civilization is a major transcendence in human beings' correct understanding of nature and leading social practice. Responding to climate change and green and low-carbon transformation, and driving the scientific and technological revolution, energy revolution, and green and low-carbon development have become the only way for the new global governance concept. As the world's largest developing country, China's economic and social development has entered a stage of high-quality development that accelerates green and low-carbon development.
The 2023 Global Carbon Neutrality Annual Progress Report, jointly supported by the Institute of Carbon Neutrality and the School of Environment of Tsinghua University, Tencent and many experts, was released in Beijing, covering carbon neutrality commitments, low-carbon technologies, climate investment and financing, and international climate cooperation, so as to solidly promote carbon neutrality. Efforts will be made to promote green, low-carbon and orderly transformation, build a beautiful China where man and nature coexist in harmony, protect green mountains, clear waters and blue skies, strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, and improve people's livelihood and well-being.
Accelerate scientific and technological innovation and actively promote carbon neutrality
Scientific and technological innovation is the key to creating new kinetic energy and new mechanisms for high efficiency, energy conservation and environmental protection, adhere to the development base point on innovation, take scientific and technological innovation as the core, vigorously promote green and low-carbon transformation, and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of energy conservation and environmental protection.
In the past year since the release of the report, the mainland has focused on the implementation of carbon neutrality goals and tasks, from top-level design to specific implementation, and has made steady progress in promoting carbon neutrality. The automotive industry in China has not only become a bright spot in the domestic economy and an important driving force for economic growth, but also has shown strong competitiveness in the international arena. At present, under the awakening of environmental awareness and the promotion of policies, new energy vehicles are gradually becoming the new favorite of the market.
As of the end of June 2024, the number of cars in mainland China is 345 million, of which the number of new energy vehicles has reached 24.72 million, accounting for 7.18% of the total number of vehicles, and new energy vehicles have become the main driving force for growth. Conventional fuel vehicles still account for the vast majority of the market. Automobile exhaust emissions are an important source of urban pollution, and it is still a top priority to promote energy conservation and emission reduction of traditional fuel vehicles and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the automobile industry. The cost of vehicles in the large-scale transportation industry is high, and the overloading of vehicles is an important factor in the occurrence of traffic accidents in addition to crushing the road surface. According to statistics, more than 80% of road traffic accidents in trucks are caused by overloading and overloading transportation. The mining machinery industry has high production technology requirements and high power, and is a "big producer" of oil consumption and carbon emissions, and has become a key industry for carbon reduction. There are also family cars to reduce the total direct energy consumption of households, optimize the structure of direct household energy consumption, reduce the cost of vehicles and reduce carbon emissions, which will be the key factors for carbon neutrality at present.
Energy-saving tackled national action
Energy conservation is an important part of the construction of ecological civilization, and an important support for promoting carbon neutrality and promoting the high-quality development of energy conservation and environmental protection. With the progress of social civilization and the development and utilization of various types of energy, energy conservation, consumption reduction, green and low-carbon have become more and more people's consensus. According to the unified deployment of the State Council, the 2024 National Energy Conservation Publicity Week aims to enhance the people's awareness of energy conservation and carbon reduction, cultivate a conservation-oriented society with "energy conservation and morality", advocate green and low-carbon production and lifestyle, guide the participation and sharing of the whole people, and work together to promote the construction of green and low-carbon cities.
The implementation of green travel, fuel vehicles to help reduce emissions and low-carbon life, with its zero emission, low energy consumption characteristics, greatly reduce energy consumption, more "friendly" to the environment.
Disruptive technology has made new achievements in energy conservation and environmental protection
Help achieve "carbon neutrality", and look at energy conservation to write spring and autumn. After decades of research and development, experts from the Department of Automotive Engineering and Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics will launch Beesheng Organic Cooling Energy-saving Fluid in 2024. The energy-saving liquid has been certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and has obtained a number of Chinese patents and United States patents, and has achieved a series of innovative results. Honeycomb active liquid is mainly composed of propylene glycol (medical grade reagent), honeycomb active molecules, deionized water, additives and other ingredients, which is green and environmentally friendly.
National certification and patent certificate
In recent years, the automotive industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation as consumer demand for vehicle performance and fuel economy continues to increase. It has passed more than 50,000 tests of various traditional fuel vehicles (cars, transport trucks, mining locomotives) and different working environments (plateau, alpine, rugged and steep mountain roads, highways, etc.). According to the actual test data, the highest fuel saving is 20.8%, the lowest fuel saving is 5-8%, with significant energy saving and emission reduction advantages and a wide range of application environments to meet the needs of different consumers. This product is tested by large transportation companies such as Debang, PetroChina Automobile Transport Company, Shouqi, BAIC, and Blue Sky Group to achieve ideal results and purchase in bulk. At present, it has launched the premium version of Beesheng energy-saving liquid and the heavy-duty truck version; The premium version is mainly used in family vehicles, and the heavy-duty truck version is mainly used in mining machinery and cargo transport vehicles.
This product also has excellent anti-corrosion performance, a stable and non-susceptible surface layer to oxidation; It also has perfect sales qualifications for effective supervision and tracking; The product itself also has green medical-grade raw materials, which ensures the safety and environmental protection of the product. As a result, it has effectively promoted the organic energy-saving and environmentally friendly coolant developed in China, accelerated the development of a new track, continued to improve the "green content" of enterprise development, and solidly promoted green and low-carbon development.
At present, fuel vehicles seize the favorable opportunity of the relative lightening of crude oil, dig deep into the potential of existing units, and maintain normal operation; Reduce fuel consumption, promote energy conservation and improve energy efficiency. The next step will be to take advantage of the trend, aim at the commanding heights of industrial development, further deepen scientific and technological innovation, build a full life cycle carbon emission standard system, and contribute wisdom and strength to the realization of "carbon neutrality".
