In the first renewable energy carbon-neutral park in China, the Goldwind Technology Smart Park, the concept of "zero carbon" is apparent.  

The park integrated functions such as renewable energy, intelligent microgrids, smart water management, green agriculture, and sports and health.

Discarded wind turbine blades have been repurposed as a landscape feature showcasing the internationalization process of companies. The ecological greenhouse is powered by green electricity generated from rooftop photovoltaic panels, and the park relies on clean electricity generated by the large wind turbines at the entrance.

"The core of the park's carbon-neutral solutions lies in the digital energy management platform called the Alpha Energy Aggregation Platform, focusing on carbon reduction in the energy supply, energy consumption, and trading aspects," according to a representative from Goldwind Technology.

Sidel has introduced customized bottleneck remodeling solutions to help domestic customers reduce the weight of bottle necks and caps, achieving an average weight reduction of 1.7 grams. Considering a production line that produces 48,000 bottles per hour, running for 5,000 hours per year, it can save up to 375 tons of PET usage annually. 

They have also introduced innovative solutions for bottle bottoms, specializing in designing and optimizing the slope, ridge, and cross-sectional shape of the bottoms. This reduces the weight of the bottle bottom by 12.5 percent for a 500ml packaging bottle, achieving plastic reduction and cost savings.

Recently, the Toyota Fuel Cell Research and Production Project in Beijing E-Town, has completed the main structures of its production facilities, testing workshops, and research buildings.

"The advancement of the fuel cell project will drive the commercialization and widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology in China, accelerate its application in the commercial vehicle sector, and support the development, structural adjustment, and upgrading of the hydrogen energy and related industries in Beijing E-Town, as well as the rapid implementation and scale output of the new energy industry," according to head of the project.
