In the parallel forum of special reports, experts shared research and practices related to dual-carbon development in areas such as low-carbon development in transportation, strategic focus on dual-carbon in Sichuan, regional industrial transformation, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology, recycling of chemical resources, development of green methanol, and scientific and technological information services. Tang Renhu, the Co-Director of the Nagoya University-SinoCarbon Carbon Neutrality and Innovation Laboratory, was invited to participate in the forum. He shared insights on the opportunities and challenges of developing green hydrogen-based fuels under the backdrop of dual-carbon, covering external constraints, development prospects, international certification requirements, and production processes.
During the on-site interview session, Tang Renhu, along with experts and scholars such as Wang Xueding, the leader of the Science and Technology Group of the Decision Consultation Committee of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, discussed the theme of collaborative innovation in "Science-Industry-Finance" under the dual-carbon development strategy. They explored breakthroughs in technology, industrial trends, challenges faced by enterprises, financial investment, collaborative development in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and development paths in the energy sector under the dual-carbon strategy.
In the process of implementing the dual-carbon goals, green fuels, such as hydrogen-based green fuels, play a crucial role in achieving low-carbon transformation in sectors like transportation and chemicals. SinoCarbon has long been committed to promoting the practical application of consensus technologies and measures in industries related to hydrogen-based green fuels, helping enterprises meet domestic and international policy compliance requirements. Empowering low-carbon development, together shaping a "zero-carbon" future.
