When the Winter Olympics torch lit up, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics attracted the attention of the whole world.
Athletes from all over the world showed their superb skills on ice and snow, but also demonstrated the concept of "green Olympics".
According to reports, the main torch of this Winter Olympics uses hydrogen energy as fuel for the first time. The main transportation task between venues is hydrogen energy vehicles, which minimizes carbon emissions and demonstrates China's green and low-carbon development concept to the world.
Hydrogen energy is currently the cleanest, efficient, safe and sustainable new energy in the world, and has huge market potential in the fields of energy, transportation and industrial production.
In January this year, Sinopec's first domestic hydrogen testing laboratory in the station was put into operation, ensuring the safety and reliability of the quality of hydrogen energy for the Winter Olympics.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Sinopec plans to build 1,000 hydrogen refueling stations to build "China's No. 1 Hydrogen Energy Company".
The petrochemical industry is a key industry for green transformation due to the concentration of "two high" projects with high energy consumption and high emission.
As a leading company in the industry, Sinopec's relevant measures and plans not only strongly supported the Beijing Winter Olympics, but also demonstrated the determination and achievements of Chinese enterprises in their efforts to make green transformation in recent years.
The energy revolution has yielded fruitful results.
The installed scale of renewable energy such as wind power and photovoltaics in my country continues to expand.
Data show that by the end of November 2021, the installed capacity of wind power in the country was about 300 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 29%; the installed capacity of solar power generation was about 290 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 24.1%.
At the same time, the utilization rate of new energy is also increasing steadily, the scale of supporting energy storage is being optimized, and the comprehensive utilization rate of various types of renewable energy is tending to a reasonable level.
Significant progress has been made in energy conservation and consumption reduction.
With the in-depth practice of the new development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", a large number of "three high-level enterprises" with high pollution, high energy consumption and high water consumption have been shut down and relocated.
Enterprises in various regions have actively promoted technological transformation and upgrading, and the situation of low resource utilization efficiency and serious energy waste has been greatly improved.
At present, with the implementation of the "double control" action of energy consumption, enterprises pay more attention to improving the quality and efficiency of development, and strive to provide the market with more green and energy-saving products.
In addition to Sinopec, there are also many Chinese companies such as State Grid and Dongpeng Ceramics in this Winter Olympics. They have participated in the construction of projects such as green electricity supply, low-carbon venue construction, and low-carbon transportation system construction, all of which reflect green development. concept, showing a good image and outstanding strength to the world.
At present, my country's resource and environmental conditions are becoming more and more restrictive, and efficient use of resources has become the only way for ecological protection and high-quality development.
Advancing carbon peaking and carbon neutrality is something we must do ourselves, but it is not something that can be achieved easily.
As the most important production unit in the modern economy and society, enterprises should increase the application of green energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, actively develop in the direction of low-energy consumption industries, green manufacturing, and clean energy, and contribute to the realization of the "dual carbon" goal.
