"The factory has invested about 7.5 million yuan in energy conservation and emission reduction over the past 8 years, saving a direct energy cost of 31 million yuan, and there is no need to increase investment in the future. The 7.5 million yuan investment can continue to generate benefits, and in the long run, it can further save operating costs for the factory." Before the first Pudong New Area Green and Low Carbon Industry Development Conference on July 19th, Wang Yihua, Technical Operations Director of Shanghai Bollinger Ingelheim Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., introduced the "business experience" to reporters.

Last August, biopharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim announced that its human drug production base, Shanghai Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., located in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, had obtained carbon neutrality certification issued by Guangzhou Carbon Emission Trading Center Co., Ltd. in China and Rheinland TV in Germany. This also represents that the factory has become the first carbon neutrality factory in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry to receive authoritative certification at home and abroad.

The prerequisite for a company to obtain a carbon neutrality certification is to purchase green electricity, green rights, and carbon credit. The Zhangjiang factory in Shanghai is one of the most important production centers in the Boehringer Ingelheim Asia Pacific region. After reaching its peak in carbon emissions in 2014, the factory has carried out multiple decarbonization designs in energy use, manufacturing processes, and logistics management, achieving zero carbon goals in 8 years. From a numerical perspective, compared to 2014, the factory reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 12103 tons in 2021, and the energy consumption per billion yuan of output value decreased by 77%.

In fact, the scale of Boehringer Ingelheim's factory is not very large. Taking the investment of 7.5 million yuan to save 31 million yuan as a reference, the energy-saving space of many factories in China is far greater than this. In order to further implement the major strategic decisions of the country on "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", as well as the layout requirements of Shanghai's "new track" of green and low-carbon industries, Pudong held a Green and Low Carbon Industry Development Conference, and awarded a new batch of green and low-carbon characteristic industrial parks, energy-saving and low-carbon demonstration bases, zero carbon demonstration units, and green manufacturing demonstration units at the conference, in order to guide more Pudong enterprises to recalculate their "economic accounts" from an environmental perspective.

In the past few years, a group of enterprises in Pudong have embarked on the path of green transformation, except for Bollinger Ingelheim. Li Hui, Director of the Science and Technology Commission of Pudong New Area, introduced that since the 13th Five Year Plan, Pudong has created a total of 39 green factories, 8 green supply chain management enterprises, 22 green products, and 3 green parks, ranking among the top in the city; In addition, Pudong has also established 4 zero carbon factories, 2 zero carbon parks, and 1 zero carbon data center, ranking first in the city in terms of quantity.

Among them, Zhenhua Heavy Industry actively explores green and environmentally friendly technologies, upgrading its self-developed one over one hybrid cross transport vehicle from a hybrid power system of "diesel engine and lithium battery" to a pure green power system of "hydrogen fuel cell and lithium battery".

BASF has set clear medium-term and long-term goals: to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25% compared to 2018 by 2030, achieve net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and provide "cradle to gate" product carbon footprint data for nearly 45000 globally available products, improve transparency of product carbon emissions, and help its customers understand and reduce their own product carbon footprint.

"Next, we will take comprehensive measures such as building a public service platform, optimizing the industrial innovation ecosystem, promoting the integration and development of emerging technologies, and improving the policy support system. We will make comprehensive efforts in the fields of green and low-carbon cutting-edge concept verification, key technology research and development, innovative application transformation, demonstration and creation leadership, and build Pudong into a source of green and low-carbon cutting-edge technologies and a leading area for green and low-carbon industries," said Li Hui.

In order to achieve the goals of being the source and pilot area, Pudong also established the Green and Low Carbon Industry Promotion Center and the Shanghai Pudong New Area Green and Low Carbon Industry Development Alliance at the meeting. The "Center" and "Alliance" will focus on the dual carbon goals, further consolidating key enterprises, research institutions, financial resources, and social organizations in various fields, forming comprehensive and diversified resource advantages and cooperation mechanisms, and jointly becoming solid wings to promote the development of green and low-carbon industries in Pudong. They will contribute more Pudong experience and models to building new momentum for the development of green and low-carbon industries and promoting comprehensive green transformation of the economy and society.
