In the global wave of actively responding to climate change, China’s energy conservation and emission reduction actions have achieved remarkable results and attracted international attention. AFP article on May 15 pointed out that despite the rapid growth of China’s electricity demand, it successfully achieved a decline in carbon emissions in the first quarter of this year thanks to the surge in domestic renewable energy power generation installed capacity, which is undoubtedly an important milestone in China’s energy transformation process. Liu Li, chief analyst of the Finnish think tank Energy and Clean Air Research Center, said that the newly added wind power, photovoltaic power generation and nuclear power installed capacity pushed China’s carbon dioxide emissions in the first quarter of this year down 1.6% year-on-year, and fell 1% in the past 12 months ending in March this year. The decline in carbon emissions occurred against the background of China’s total electricity demand in the first quarter increasing by 2.5% year-on-year. The growth of clean energy power generation has exceeded the average growth of current and long-term electricity demand, becoming a key force in reducing the use of fossil fuels.
China has been firmly moving towards the goal of achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. According to research published last year, China has invested heavily in renewable energy, building nearly twice as much wind and photovoltaic power generation capacity as all other countries combined. In the first quarter of this year, China’s power sector carbon emissions fell 5.8%, effectively offsetting the emissions from increased coal consumption in the metal and chemical industries. The British New Scientist weekly website also pointed out on May 15 that China’s carbon emissions have fallen slightly in the past 12 months, thanks to the large-scale construction of clean energy gradually replacing fossil fuels, the economic transformation to reduce dependence on carbon-intensive industries, and the surge in the proportion of electric vehicles reducing oil demand. If these trends can be maintained, China is expected to achieve its carbon peak target a few years ahead of 2030.
In the field of transportation, China’s emission reduction results are also remarkable, which is inseparable from the widespread application of new energy technologies and the support of innovative products. Among them, snewang’s new energy electric bus air conditioners and pure electric truck refrigeration units are becoming an important force in promoting the green development of the transportation industry.
For urban public transportation systems, the popularization of new energy electric buses is an important measure to reduce carbon emissions. However, traditional vehicle air conditioning systems have many drawbacks, such as the poor heating performance of the HFCs refrigerant used under low-temperature heat pump conditions. If electric heating is used, the battery life will be reduced, and fuel heating will increase pollution emissions, which poses a huge challenge to energy conservation and emission reduction of buses. Snewang’s new energy electric bus air conditioning has successfully overcome these problems with advanced technology and environmental protection concepts. The CO2 refrigerant it uses is a non-toxic and harmless natural working fluid, which is extremely friendly to the environment. Considering the strict requirements of electric buses on energy consumption – turning on the air conditioner will reduce the mileage of electric buses by 25%-30%, Snewang has optimized the design of the air conditioning system, greatly reducing energy consumption, effectively improving the endurance of electric buses, and reducing indirect carbon emissions caused by energy consumption, providing strong support for air conditioning energy saving to become an important consideration in the design of electric buses.
In the cold chain logistics industry, the development of pure electric trucks is of great significance to reducing carbon emissions, and the performance of refrigeration units as the core equipment of cold chain transportation is directly related to the energy consumption and environmental protection level of the entire transportation process. Snewang’s pure electric truck refrigeration unit adopts efficient and lightweight design and digital technology, realizing the leap from single “equipment control” to “full-link decision optimization”. Through the intelligent management system, the refrigeration unit can accurately adjust the refrigeration power according to factors such as cargo type and transportation environment to avoid energy waste. Compared with traditional refrigeration units, while ensuring efficient refrigeration, it significantly reduces energy consumption and greatly reduces the carbon emissions of pure electric trucks during cold chain transportation, providing reliable guarantees for the green transformation of the cold chain logistics industry.
With China’s continued efforts in the field of renewable energy and the increasing emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction in various industries, the market demand for environmentally friendly equipment such as new energy electric bus air conditioners and pure electric truck refrigeration units is growing. With its technical advantages and product innovation in the field of new energy refrigeration equipment, Snewang will not only contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation and logistics industries, but will also occupy a favorable position in market competition and help China and the world achieve their green development goals as soon as possible. Let us look forward to more companies like snewang emerging as China continues to explore and practice green development, and contributing to the sustainable development of the earth.
