At present, addressing global climate change has become a major challenge facing all human society. In this profound energy transformation, the country has a strategy, enterprises have responsibility, the academic community has speculation, and all sectors of society are promoting the "double carbon" work from a multidimensional perspective through their own wisdom and strength. As a participant and enabler in the development of a low-carbon society, ABB has always actively undertaken corporate social responsibility, and offered suggestions for the green development of cities with the power of scientific and technological innovation.
On September 1, at the opening of the 2022 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2022), ABB was invited to gather together with experts and scholars from different fields such as industry research institutions, international organizations, and pilot enterprises to gather at the 2022 WAIC Intelligent Trend Forum, closely following the green theme of "Multi-dimensional Integration, Carbon Road Future". In-depth exchanges will be conducted around carbon neutral top-level design and low-carbon development technology routes, carbon reduction exploration in the industrial field, and scientific and technological innovation in low-carbon development, and new trends, new technologies, new products and new cases under the "dual carbon" goal will be discussed, and effective strategies for achieving sustainable development of the industry will be discussed.
Yang Rong, Vice President of ABB Electric China, attended the forum and delivered a speech entitled "Carbon Neutral Transformation of ABB Digital Empowerment", sharing ABB's sustainable development strategy and benchmarking demonstration application cases to achieve the goal of "dual carbon". He said: "China's 'two-carbon' strategy is highly aligned with ABB's core business. As a global enterprise with roots in China, ABB has always innovated from the needs of customers, accelerated industrial green upgrading through electrification, automation and digitalization, and helped customers achieve carbon emission reduction in three areas: clean energy utilization, energy efficiency optimization and electrification rate improvement, and promoted the high-quality development of China's low-carbon economy."
As a leader in the electrical industry, ABB uses the combination of digitalization and artificial intelligence technology to explore the fields of fault diagnosis, pattern recognition and prediction, control and optimization, and practice in the field of smart buildings and smart distribution infrastructure to help customers achieve safer and smarter operations and improve resource utilization efficiency. For example, it provides a new idea and implementation path for the School of Architecture of Tianjin University to create a near-zero consumption R-CELLS solar house. To achieve full cycle intelligent energy management for a provincial rural credit cooperatives data center, which is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 29,956 tons in 30 years; Build a digital intelligent power distribution system for Guoshun Group, reduce the labor cost by 50% through predictive and remote maintenance functions, and free the operation and maintenance personnel in the steel industry from the daily boring and risky repetitive work.
ABB is committed to fulfilling its mission of sustainable development, integrating green, low-carbon and self-recycling concepts into its global operations and the entire value chain, working with customers and suppliers to reduce emissions, and committing to achieving carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2030. Taking Beijing ABB Low-Voltage Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. as an example, through the establishment of energy management system, installation of rooftop photovoltaic system and park charging pile, application of ABB Ability EAM energy efficiency and asset health management cloud platform, and implementation of water, electricity, material and other environmental improvement projects, since the renovation in March last year, About 700 tons of greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced so far. At present, the plant has obtained ISO50001 certification, won the title of "National Green Factory", and received the "carbon neutral certificate" issued by the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange in 2021.
Only by thinking deeply can we go far. In the process of high-quality transformation of the national economy and achieving the ambitious goal of carbon neutrality, ABB has taken the lead in actively taking action, based on its long-term experience and insight in the electrification and digitalization industry, and held the "ABB Electrical Innovation Week" in 2020 to embrace the new opportunities of global digital transformation and introduce revolutionary switchgear and digital electrical products to the Chinese market. In 2021, the ABB Electric Carbon Neutrality White Paper will be launched to thoroughly analyze and comb out carbon reduction challenges and methods in four areas: campus, building, transportation, and data center. In 2022, ABB Xiamen Switch Co., LTD., ABB's first joint venture in China, will celebrate its 30th anniversary. In the same period, ABB will continue to hold innovative events in line with local market needs, launch innovative technologies, products and solutions, and work with partners to enable economic, green and high-quality development, and jointly write a safe, smart and sustainable electrified future.
