Special Event 2

Zhang Xing, deputy director of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said that in the next step, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology will take new energy storage technology as an important starting point, continue to increase support for green and low-carbon technology research and development and demonstration projects in the steel industry, and encourage enterprises to carry out technical innovation and application practices of deep integration of energy storage and steel production through policy guidance, financial support, and public service platform construction. Strengthen cooperation with industry, academia, and research to build an open and shared innovation ecosystem, jointly overcome key technical bottlenecks, and form a batch of energy storage technology products and solutions with independent intellectual property rights and international competitiveness.

Xiao Bangguo, deputy secretary and deputy director (in charge of work) of the Metallurgical Industry Planning Institute, believes that under the background of the new energy system, the steel industry should actively embrace and integrate into the new energy system, promote green and low-carbon transformation, and realize the reconstruction of process systems and energy systems. By increasing the proportion of green energy production and consumption in the steel industry, the energy industry and the steel industry can be coupled to achieve a coordinated reduction in carbon emissions.

Wang Zhizhong, former deputy secretary-general of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, said that in the face of increasingly severe environmental challenges and the international community's commitment to carbon neutrality, my country's steel industry urgently needs to carry out in-depth energy structure reforms, from high carbon to low carbon, from dependence on fossil energy to embracing clean energy. As a bridge connecting renewable energy and traditional energy systems, new energy storage technology has irreplaceable value in solving the volatility and intermittent problems of energy supply in the steel industry, improving energy utilization efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions.

Zhou Lingxia, Executive President of Jiangsu Kunlun Interconnection and General Manager of Kunlun Energy Storage Nanjing, said that since its establishment, Kunlun Energy Storage has always been committed to applying advanced energy storage technology to energy conservation, emission reduction, cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the steel industry. Adhering to the concept of "reducing energy consumption, optimizing energy conservation, increasing energy storage, and supplementing green energy", through the deep integration of digital technology, power electronics technology, energy technology and energy storage technology, it has successfully created the Kunlun Energy Internet (INECO platform) that integrates remote operation and maintenance, energy efficiency control, safety control and health management. It is expected that this platform will provide strong technical support and solutions for the energy transformation of the steel industry.

At the meeting, Huang Libin, former director of the Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, interpreted my country's "dual carbon" related policies. Professor Chen Qing of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Associate Professor Jiang Feng of Nanjing University of Technology respectively shared themes on "Key Technologies and Applications of Energy Storage under New Power Systems" and "Carnot Battery Thermal Storage Technology and Development".

In addition, representatives of companies and institutions such as Ant Group, Shaangu Group, Jiangsu Kunlun Interconnection Co., Ltd., Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Lingchu Yuneng Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Shengyun Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and Tianmu Lake Advanced Energy Storage Technology Research Institute shared themes.
