Organized by Schneider Electric, a digital transformation expert in the field of global energy management and automation, together with Ningde Times, Star Charging, and Longi Green Energy, Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute and China Energy Network, as cooperative institutions, participated in the “Green Energy Management Win Plan” in the second quarter of the first offline “carbon neutral” theme ecological activity in Changzhou Star Charging. After nearly 2 months of communication with expert mentors, first-line customers and ecological partners, 11 participating enterprises gathered in Longcheng to carry out the first field visit practice, conduct in-depth discussions and exchanges and stage results reporting, share green innovation concepts, and jointly help carbon neutrality.

This activity not only set up an opportunity for in-depth face-to-face offline communication for the participating enterprises, but also brought a feast of ideas for the participating enterprises with the theme of “carbon neutrality”. In a keynote speech entitled “Helping the two-carbon Plan to achieve Sustainable Development”, Jiang Chaoye, Sustainability Consulting Manager at Schneider Electric, said: “Carbon neutrality is a systematic project, which first needs to clarify the direction, set practical targets, and then develop a detailed carbon reduction plan. In order to help enterprises effectively achieve carbon neutrality, Schneider Electric upholds the concept of “starting from the end, starting from the scene” and launches the overall solution led by “one top four pillars” consulting for green energy management, namely carbon neutral (and sustainable development) strategy consulting, power asset health services, power quality optimization services, digital energy efficiency services, and micro-grid optimization services. We hope to start from the top-level planning and help enterprises to do a series of more detailed and more economical planning and digital innovation technology solutions that can be implemented to make the road to carbon neutrality and carbon reduction more efficient.”

In the face of the technology and cost pressure brought about by energy transformation, Zhang Wei, management director of BD Beauty charging and construction, believes that: “Improving the efficiency of energy use and reducing the production and transaction costs of energy through digital and intelligent technology is the key to breaking the game.” What Star Charging is doing is adhering to the principle of ‘light storage and discharge, green energy trading’, by building a ‘cloud-tube-end’ energy ecology from production to trading, from scheduling to consumption, making energy production and transportation ‘smarter’, helping clean energy supply, green industrial development, electric transportation, and energy-saving urban construction.”

Under the goal of carbon neutrality, carbon management is an important part of enterprises to build low-carbon development capabilities. At the event, two alumni companies of the “Win-winning Program” shared their feelings about “carbon management” for the participating enterprises. Yu Jie, Director of Digital Transformation at DNV, said: “Enterprises need to go through three key steps to achieve carbon neutrality: First, through carbon screening and carbon accounting, find a good baseline; Secondly, through data collection, scenario analysis and simulation, the decarbonization path and emission reduction target are planned. Third, carbon neutral project implementation and subsequent certification.” In this process, carbon assets are an important market for emission reduction efforts. Qiu Weiwen, deputy general manager of Jiangsu Giant Industrial Internet Co., LTD., shared the practical application scenarios and latest practices of digital carbon management and verification products with the participating enterprises.

During the event, after icebreaking interaction and topic direction discussion, Qian Wei, co-founder of Tuoshen Technology, an inveigent company, said with emotion: “The Win plan provides us with a true sense of innovation journey. We can not only lock in the direction of innovation, combined with specific projects to understand the real pain points and needs of customers, through the project to the final landing, vertically improve their own technological innovation level, but also through the horizontal correlation of other project team innovation topics, gradually build the concept and ability of ecological innovation, to achieve 1+1>2 synergies.”

In addition, the guests also visited Star Charging optical storage and discharge integrated charging station and enterprise exhibition center to learn about the strategic planning and important innovation achievements of Star Charging as a leading enterprise in the field of mobile travel charging.

The deep integration of digital technology and the energy industry is the key to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality, and technological innovation based on “real scenarios” is an effective and important path. Through the “Green Energy Management Win Program”, Schneider Electric looks forward to working with partners from different sectors of the industry chain, who have digital technology expertise and are committed to promoting energy transition, to carry out joint innovation based on real scenarios, and create value and contribute to the final achievement of carbon neutrality goals!
