Harnessing Technological Innovation to Transform the Clean Energy Sector and Overcome Intense Competition

On May 15, the “2025 Clean Energy Application and Heating Radiator Industry Annual Conference” and the “2025 Inner Mongolia Clean Energy Application Technology Exchange Meeting” were successfully held in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. The theme of the conference was “Dual Carbon, Clean Energy, Green Future.” Leaders from associations, academicians, Changjiang Scholars, industry experts, and company representatives engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as the energy revolution, transformation and upgrading, the construction of quality housing, zero-carbon park development, and the consumption of green electricity.

In his opening address, Qu Qi, President of the China Building Metal Structure Association, emphasized the association’s commitment to serving the government and enterprises. He highlighted the importance of aligning closely with national strategic layouts and actively cooperating with government ministries to fully utilize service functions. By integrating various resources, the association aims to secure greater policy support for member companies, helping them enhance management levels and market competitiveness.

Addressing the new circumstances, tasks, and requirements, President Qu proposed a strategic approach focusing on “shouldering the mission of the times, adhering to the original intentions of enterprises; concentrating on technological innovation to enhance core competitiveness; exploring domestic and international development potentials to construct a new global development pattern.” His interpretation aimed to assist the industry in breaking through the challenges of “involutionary” competition. He encouraged enterprises to strengthen their confidence in development, solidify their foundations for steady growth, and actively fulfill social responsibilities, contributing greater efforts to promote high-quality industry development and support China’s modernization.

During the conference, XU Dingming, former Director of the National Development and Reform Commission’s Energy Bureau, analyzed key topics in the energy revolution and proposed new ideas for renewable energy development. Han Aixing, former Deputy Director of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s Department of Building Energy Efficiency and Technology, discussed the importance of integrating “quality housing” with clean energy development. Yang Xudong, Vice Dean of the Tsinghua University School of Architecture, shared research findings on rural energy issues, providing a scientific basis for rural energy transformation. Guo Bingqing, a professor at the China Electric Power Research Institute, provided a profound interpretation of Document No. 136 from the National Development and Reform Commission, highlighting the significant opportunities presented to enterprises by the marketization of grid-connected electricity prices.

Other guests, including Hu Runqing, a researcher at the National Development and Reform Commission’s Energy Research Institute, Zhou Jianbin, a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, Xue Daorong, a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Li Zhong, a researcher at the China Academy of Building Research, Yin Baoquan, an associate professor at Tianjin University, and Gao Chong, Deputy Director of the Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute, shared the latest research achievements and application cases.

Companies such as Meijie New Energy, Shengtuo Technology Group, Linorite New Energy, Beijing Renhuan High-Tech, Xue Ren Co., Ltd., Daorong Energy Group, Zero Carbon Future, Yuaneng Environment, Tianjin Yishunda, Sanhu New Materials, Beijing Building Materials Institute, Zhanzhi Intelligence, Xinlei Energy Conservation, Chunfeng New Energy, and Qineng New Energy showcased new products and technologies, engaging in discussions on market conditions, technological innovation, and system applications.

Ding Sheng, Chairman of Inner Mongolia Meijie New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., remarked that the conference brought together a strong lineup of experts and outstanding companies for in-depth discussions, providing a valuable opportunity for exchange and collaboration. Meijie New Energy’s solid heat storage products have been applied in projects such as the Winter Olympics Media Broadcasting Center, the comprehensive office building of the Chifeng municipal government, the coal-to-electricity project in Guinan County, and the renovation of over 3,700 households in agricultural and pastoral areas, totaling over 15 million square meters of clean heating coverage.

Meijie is actively implementing a new development strategy by building zero-carbon factories and introducing intelligent production lines across various sectors, including industry and agriculture. The company has successfully broken through key technologies such as “efficient heat storage material preparation,” “remote cloud control intelligent systems,” and “new phase change heat storage materials and clean heating,” providing a technological model for promoting diverse applications of new energy and enhancing market acceptance.

This conference established a platform for deep exchanges among industry, academia, and research. It provided replicable and promotable ideas and systematic solutions for “quality housing” construction, zero-carbon parks, and rural energy utilization. The exchange model of “strategic guidance + technological empowerment” not only addressed the industry’s critical pain points but also fostered a new ecosystem of collaborative innovation among production, education, and research, injecting strong momentum into the technological breakthroughs and industrial upgrades of the clean energy application and heating radiator industry on the “dual carbon” track.
