Original title: CIIE Observation｜In the global arena of green and carbon-reducing technologies, China and the world are rushing in both directions
The Paper reporter Yang Yang
The Sixth China International Import Expo ended on November 10 at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai). 78.41 billion U.S. dollars, this year’s CIIE has reached a new high in terms of annual intended transactions; more than 3,400 companies from around the world are participating in the exhibition, and the number of exhibitors and exhibition area have reached a record high; 289 of the world’s top 500 and industry leading companies have participated in the exhibition, exceeding previous levels… …Every year, we get together every year. The CIIE is not just a simple exhibition of imported goods, but also an international platform for China and the world to connect in both directions.
China has the world’s largest carbon market and clean power generation system. At the same time, China’s carbon emission reduction ambitions and acceleration have opened up a vast space for cooperation with international green technology suppliers. The Paper has observed that the CIIE, where new products, new technologies and new services are constantly being unveiled, has become a global arena for carbon emission reduction technologies. The content of green and low-carbon technologies directly determines the popularity of the booth. The visibility of “green elements” is also increasing.
“China is undergoing one of the largest energy transitions in human history, and its speed and scale are unprecedented.” Anne Luo, a member of the Executive Committee of Siemens Energy AG, quoted data from the International Energy Agency in an interview, saying that in 2022, China will be The country with the highest investment in low-carbon energy transition in the world accounts for nearly half of the global total.
She told The Paper that Chinese-style modernization requires the support of a modern energy system. Carbon neutrality is not limited to energy structure adjustment in the traditional sense, but also promotes international cooperation and technological innovation at a higher level. “By 2050, 45% of emissions reductions will come from technologies that are not currently on the market.”
This is enough to illustrate the fundamental consideration of many multinational companies to participate in the CIIE with full attendance over the past six years – despite the complex and ever-changing external environment, the CIIE’s “circle of friends” has continued to expand. Along with the firm pace of China’s development, China’s door to the outside world is opening wider and wider, and the CIIE is getting better and better, effectively promoting the world to share China’s large market and share China’s new opportunities.
At the Siemens Energy booth, “competitive products” such as the SGT5-9000HL gas turbine with a combined cycle efficiency of over 64% and the Silyzer 300 water electrolysis hydrogen production unit with the largest hydrogen production capacity of a single device were all unveiled, making the booth a highlight for the delegations. One of the popular check-in places.
“We have participated in the CIIE for six consecutive years. On this world-class exchange platform, our display content has been continuously enriched, including the scale of the booth expanding year by year, the exhibiting products and solutions becoming more and more abundant, and the industry coverage continues to expand.” With a new perception of the Chinese market and the CIIE this year, Yin Zheng, executive vice president of Schneider Electric and president of China and East Asia, told The Paper that under the high-quality development and “dual carbon goals”, the CIIE is paying more and more attention Digitalization, green and low-carbon coincide with the “dual transformation” trend currently faced by the industry.
Yin Zheng introduced that in China, among Schneider Electric’s 29 factories and logistics centers, there are 15 “green factories” and 17 “zero-carbon factories” of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The overall energy consumption of China’s supply chain has dropped by 13% compared with 2019, and production efficiency has increased by 8-10% year by year. In terms of digitalization, related revenue has accounted for more than 53% of Schneider Electric’s global revenue. At the CIIE, the company showcased more than 70 zero-carbon application scenarios in 14 major industries including power grids, chemicals, oil and gas, rail transportation, and smart manufacturing.
Its signings and cooperation at previous CIIEs are a microcosm of the Chinese market’s huge appetite for green, low-carbon and digital technologies.
At the first CIIE, Schneider Electric’s contracted cooperation mainly focused on the manufacturing and construction industries. This year, it has expanded to energy, commercial construction, machinery manufacturing, life sciences, medical care, transportation, oil and gas chemical industry, infrastructure, culture, logistics, and energy storage. , high-end manufacturing and more than ten industries. During the sixth CIIE, Schneider Electric signed contracts with more than 30 companies, an increase of 24% over the previous year.
From the “report card” of the US industrial giant Honeywell’s current CIIE, we can also get a glimpse of the demand trend for green new technologies in the Chinese market.
In the field of energy transition and sustainable development, Honeywell has signed cooperation agreements with Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Zhongneng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and many other companies to focus on sustainable aviation fuel, waste plastic chemical recycling and sustainable development. Cooperate on plastic oil applications, carbon capture and utilization, blue hydrogen production, thermal energy technology, etc.
“Four-leaf clover” contains countless opportunities, inspiring companies to renew their long-term agreement with China.
Data show that in the first half of this year, the overall scale of China’s actual use of foreign capital remained stable and the quality of investment continued to improve. There were 24,000 new foreign-invested enterprises nationwide, a year-on-year increase of 35.7%, and the investment in high-tech industries increased by 7.9%; China’s import and export of goods trade The total value was 20.1 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%, and the scale exceeded 20 trillion yuan for the first time in the same period in history; the total service import and export volume reached 3.1 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.5%.
