Beijing, May 5 (Zhongxin Net) -- The China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) held a press conference in Beijing on the afternoon of May 7 to announce that the second batch of 5 books in the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" series of the China Association for Science and Technology is planned to be released around the National Science and Technology Workers Day on May 6.
Xu Guanghong, Vice Minister of the Department of Science and Technology Innovation of the China Association for Science and Technology, introduced at the press conference that the second batch of books in the "Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality" series are: "Introduction to Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality", "Introduction to Clean and Low-carbon Transformation of Petrochemical Industry", "Introduction to Green and Low-carbon Transformation of New Energy Vehicles and Automotive Industry", "Introduction to Carbon Reduction Policies and Trends in Major International Economies", "Introduction to Low-carbon Development of Railways", "Introduction to Intelligent Low-carbon Transportation", "Introduction to Clean and Low-carbon Transformation and Development of Steel and Nonferrous Metals", "Introduction to Low-carbon Transformation of Energy for Building Operation", "Introduction to Green and Low-carbon Development in Refrigeration Industry", "Introduction to Wind, Solar, Water and Power Complementary Technology", "Introduction to Reelectrification", "Introduction to Carbon Sink and Carbon Market" Introduction to Hydrogen and Energy Storage".
He said that since 2021, the China Association for Science and Technology has formulated a talent training plan for "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", set up an editorial board of the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" series, hired 18 academicians and experts as members, and started the compilation of the series in batches. The first series of books in the "Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality" series, "Introduction to New Power Systems", "Introduction to Clean Energy and Smart Energy" and "Introduction to Clean and Low-carbon Transformation of Coal", were officially released at the main event of National Science and Technology Workers Day on May 2022, 5. Since July 30, the second batch of books in the "Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality" series of the China Association for Science and Technology has been launched one after another.
Xu Guanghong pointed out that the second batch of books in the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" series launched by the China Association for Science and Technology this time adheres to the characteristics of expert-led, academic organization, high station planning, high-quality writing, and highlighting scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation.
In terms of high-level planning, the China Association for Science and Technology, the editor-in-chief experts and the writing team regard the compilation of the series as an important political task, and adhere to the global vision, scientific and technological attitude, rigorous study style, and do a good job in theme planning and content writing from the height of adapting to the needs of China's economic and social development, international competition, and the modernization of science and technology governance. The series focuses on the most prominent shortcomings, covering key industries and technologies such as global climate change and carbon neutrality, energy, steel and non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals and chemicals, building materials, transportation, and carbon sinks.
In terms of high-quality writing, the China Association for Science and Technology set up an editorial board with the participation of 18 academicians and experts to discuss and plan the framework of the catalogue of the series of books, and guide and coordinate the compilation and publication of books throughout the process; Each book is edited by authoritative academicians and experts in related fields, and a writing team composed of academicians and experts in related fields, front-line researchers and front-line teachers is set up, which is specifically responsible for the writing and writing of books, and invites authoritative experts and well-known scholars in the field to serve as chief reviewers. The series fully demonstrates the latest achievements and cutting-edge progress in the research of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" in various fields, and is highly strategic, forward-looking, authoritative, systematic, academic and scientific.
In terms of scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation, in terms of scientific and technological innovation, the series introduces the major technologies and main applications of achieving the "dual carbon" (carbon peak and carbon neutrality) goal, analyzes the major tasks and severe challenges faced by various industries to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, puts forward the strategic path and technical route to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, looks forward to the development trend and application prospects of key technologies, and gives corresponding policy and mechanism suggestions, and puts forward an innovative and operable roadmap and timetable for achieving the "dual carbon" goal. In terms of talent cultivation, the series takes into account the needs of embedded knowledge dissemination and compound talent cultivation, covering basic research, technology research and development, achievement transformation, application promotion and other aspects, and the main audience includes both new learners and practitioners engaged in related work, as well as the majority of non-"dual carbon" professionals, aiming to vigorously improve the "dual carbon" technical literacy of personnel in various industries, and integrate the concept and practice of carbon neutrality into the talent training system.
Xu Guanghong said that the China Association for Science and Technology expects that through the compilation, release and application of the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" series of books, it can help the development of "dual carbon" science and technology and industry, accelerate the training of "dual carbon" talents, and contribute to the realization of the "dual carbon" goal and the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
