The release of "Double Carbon" accelerates the transformation and upgrading of traditional energy, moving towards clean and green. In the process of energy structure transformation, we will gradually get rid of the dependence on traditional energy such as coal, and replace it with a reliable new energy system. It can be said that new energy has become an energy source. A major force in green change.   New energy has entered thousands of industries and households, especially in the automotive field. As of the end of June this year, the national motor vehicle ownership reached 406 million, of which 10.01 million were new energy vehicles, breaking the 10 million mark. In August, the retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles reached 529,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 111.2% and a month-on-month increase of 8.8%; in the first eight months of this year, domestic retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles reached 3.262 million units, a year-on-year increase of 119.7%.   Not long ago, the new energy vehicle technology innovation base was completed and opened in Tianjin. The abbreviation of this base means that my country's new energy vehicle technology will form a large-scale research, and the related testing fields will be further improved.    It is understood that the new energy vehicle technology innovation base is mainly established by China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd. The base has a total of 116,000 square meters of comprehensive test buildings, supporting more than 1,000 sets of test equipment, mainly focusing on six major fields such as fuel cells, power batteries, electric drive and electronic control, charging technology, electromagnetic compatibility, and new energy vehicles. The capabilities cover new energy passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and other related components, and it is intended to build a new energy vehicle R&D verification and testing base.    The popularity of new energy vehicles is closely related to its construction cost and green effect. On the one hand, relevant policies continue to issue "gift packages" for new energy purchases. In July, 17 departments including the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Several Measures to Revitalize Automobile Circulation and Expand Automobile Consumption", which clearly proposed to break the local protection of the new energy vehicle market, promote the consumption and use of new energy vehicles in rural areas, and accelerate the promotion of residential Construction of charging facilities in communities, parking lots, gas stations, expressway service areas, passenger and freight hubs, etc., and guiding charging pile operators to appropriately reduce charging service fees and other measures to support the development of new energy vehicles.    Not only that, the real money policy continues to benefit consumers. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued an announcement to extend the policy of exempting vehicle purchase tax for new energy vehicles, and exempt new energy vehicles from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Vehicle purchase tax.    On the other hand, technology supplements the vitality of new energy vehicles. For new energy vehicles, safety is the first priority. Among them, the thermal runaway problem of new energy vehicles needs to be solved urgently. In this regard, automobile companies have increased their research and development efforts to solve the current safety problems of new energy vehicles. Guolian Automobile Power Battery Research Institute Co., Ltd. has built two new energy vehicle testing centers in Beijing and Foshan. At present, there are more than 320 testing items, covering more than 100 standards. Among them, Foshan has also established a testing sub-center, with a total investment of 120 million, covering electrical performance, safety and reliability.    In addition, the cruising range is also a key point. In recent years, the pace of technological innovation in my country's new energy vehicle industry has accelerated. New group technologies, high nickel and cobalt-free batteries, and semi-solid batteries have made breakthroughs in applications. New technologies, new models, and new business formats have continued to emerge. has been greatly improved.    At the same time, relevant plans and policies have been issued in various regions, which are intended to stimulate the enthusiasm for purchasing new energy and strengthen the consumption power of residents. At the end of September, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce and other 16 departments issued a notice to introduce a number of measures to support the purchase and use of new energy vehicles, speed up the activation of the used car market, promote the consumption of automobile renewal, and promote the sustainable development of parallel imports of automobiles to expand the consumption of new energy vehicles. market, and consolidate the consumption trend of new energy vehicles.    Now, the opening of Tianjin New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Base will further increase the research and development of new energy vehicles, promote the development of core technologies, find better solutions, and achieve a new leap in the new energy vehicle industry.    (Source: Xinhuanet, People's Daily Online)

With the continuous rise of the clean energy market, all countries are now vigorously developing the new energy industry, and it seems that it has become a general trend to replace traditional coal-fired power generation with new energy. As a relatively mature technology in the new energy industry, solar energy has naturally been given high hopes.   From the perspective of market data, in 2020 alone, the newly installed photovoltaic capacity in the world will reach 138.2 GW. By the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of global solar photovoltaic power generation has reached 773.2 GW. From the overall development point of view, the development of the photovoltaic industry directly stimulates the development of polysilicon, silicon wafers, cells and other industries. The global downstream photovoltaic application market of Furui has shown rapid expansion, and many regions have even regarded photovoltaic power as the main source of electricity, the industry is positive.    But at the same time, a core issue continues to affect the acceptance of excess photovoltaic power among the public - the price. Taking my country as an example, in 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a reply on the on-grid electricity price of the solar photovoltaic power stations in Ordos, Inner Mongolia and Chongming, Shanghai. Electricity is not cheap. And until 2018, although the overall price of photovoltaic electricity was declining, the price of photovoltaic electricity was still unacceptable to the public compared with coal electricity. Although the emphasis was already on low carbon at the time. The turning point of this problem was in 2019. Starting from 2019, photovoltaic power began to compress prices under the premise of state intervention, and successfully achieved parity photovoltaic power in 2021. Simply put, the price of photovoltaic electricity at that time was already comparable to that of coal. The price of electricity is flat, and my country has also begun to advocate the effective application of photovoltaics, and gradually began to try to replace coal power with photovoltaics and other new energy sources.   Interestingly, around 2020 is also the time when most other countries’ photovoltaic industries have achieved great development. From the historical background, this is closely related to the proposal of the "Double Carbon" plan.    In fact, with the continuous maturity of the photovoltaic industry, the globalization of photovoltaics has also reduced the cost of using solar energy. According to a recent study, the cost of installing solar hardware is decreasing as the solar industry chain begins to globalize. And in response to this, the research team of the State University of New York at Stony Brook has drawn a conclusion based on comparing the differences in the cost of solar cell deployment between localized supply and global supply models in various major markets—integrating the global supply of solar cells. Chains may make solar cheaper.    From the perspective of economic development, the globalization of the solar cell supply chain may only be a matter of time. Because under the current environmental trend, it is the key to promote the development of the solar energy industry, especially to encourage the public to accept this form of energy. Therefore, in order to lower the threshold for use, the cooperation between companies on solar cell-related technologies and components should be closer. Among them, natural It also includes international exchanges and cooperation. Article link: Chemical Instrument Network
