On June 14,2023, the Energy Digitalization for Carbon Neutrality Roundtable was held in Beijing. The roundtable was organized by the Center for Environmental Education and Communications of Ministry of Ecology and Environment (CEEC-MEE), co-organized by the US-China Energy Cooperation Program (ECP) and China New Energy Chamber of Commerce (CNECC). Dr. Tian Chengchuan, Director General of CEEC-MEE, and Mr. Yang Yumin, ECP Board Co-Chair, delivered opening remarks. Nearly 40 experts and senior industry executives from institutions and companies, who are from China Electric Power Planning & Engineering Institute (EPPEI), NEA National Energy and Technology Resource Center, Microsoft, ConocoPhillips, JA Solar, Sylolink Material Technology, Beijing Energy Group, AspenTech, AmCham China, Eaton, Intel, Bureau Veritas, Emerson, and Cheniere Energy participated in the event.
田成川主任在致辞中指出，数字化、低碳化是当今世界发展的两大潮流，数字化是新科技革命的重要方向，特别是以互联网、人工智能为代表的信息技术，从根本上改变了人类的生产与生活。低碳化是气候危机形势下人类经济社会发展的必然选择，碳中和是一场广泛而深刻的系统性变革，涉及人类生产生活方式的全方位挑战，其中最核心是能源领域的变革。“能源数字化”连接起数字化、低碳化两大发展潮流，既是能源现代化发展的方向，也对实现碳中和具有重要的推动作用。能源数字化推动碳中和，重点有三个领域：一是推动智能电网的构建，二是推动能源需求侧数字化管理，三是数字化应用助力低碳生活方式。
Director Tian pointed out that digitization and decarbonization are the two major trends in today’s global development. Digitization represents the primary direction of the new technological revolution, especially with information technologies such as the internet and artificial intelligence leading the way. These technologies have fundamentally changed human production and lifestyle. Low-carbon development is an inevitable choice for the economic and social development of humanity combating climate crisis. Carbon neutrality entails a wide-ranging and profound systemic transformation that involves changes in human production and lifestyle. The key of the revolution is the revolution of the energy sector. “Energy digitization” connects the two development trends of “digitization” and “decarbonization”, serving as both directions for the modernization of energy development and playing a vital role in the pursuit of carbon neutrality. There are three key areas for the future development of energy digitization to promote carbon neutrality: firstly, the construction and development of smart grids; secondly, the management of digitalization on the demand side of energy; and thirdly, the application of energy digitization in the field of daily life.
ECP董事会联席主席杨玉民在致辞中表示，能源转型、低碳和碳中和是当下企业关注的热门领域，在全球能源绿色低碳转型大背景下，更多的能源公司、政府、研究机构、行业伙伴积极关注和推动能源数字化工作，开展能源数字化技术和产业的交流研讨、项目调研、示范项目合作，有助于更多具有责任感的能源数字化公司关注能源与数字化的融合，促进他们开展相关的交流、商谈和合作。
Mr. Yang Yumin, ECP Cochair, emphasized that energy transition, low-carbon, and carbon neutrality are currently hot topics of concern for enterprises in his remark. Under the global energy green and low-carbon transition agenda, an increasing number of energy companies, government agencies, research institutions, and industry partners are actively focusing on and promoting energy digitization efforts. This includes engaging in exchanges, discussions, project investigations, and cooperative demonstration projects related to energy digitalization technologies and industries. Such initiatives are conducive to attracting more responsible energy digitization companies to pay attention to the integration of energy and digitalization, and to foster their engagement in relevant exchanges, negotiations, and collaborations.
中国电力规划总院副总工程师、能源科技创新研究院执行院长、国家能源局国家能源科技资源中心负责人蒋荣安院长作题为“碳中和背景下的能源数字化和智能化发展”的主旨发言，从数字赋能智慧能源体系构建以及多元融合推动能源绿色低碳转型两方面进行了专题分享。
Prof. JIANG Rongan, Deputy Chief Engineer of China Electric Power Planning & Engineering Institute (EPPEI), Executive President of Energy and Innovation Research Institute of EPPEI, the lead of National Energy and Technology Resource Center of NEA, delivered a keynote speech titled ‘Energy Digitalization and Intelligent Development under the Background of Carbon Neutrality.’ In his speech, he specifically focused on two aspects: the construction of a smart energy system empowered by digital technologies, and the promotion of diverse integration to drive the green and low-carbon transformation of the energy sector.

微软亚洲区副总裁兼总法律顾问叶浩明在主旨发言中谈到，十多年来，微软稳定地致力于创新和投资技术，以解决环境可持续性问题。 2012年，微软开始制定内部碳价，以减少碳用量；2020年，微软引入了净零目标：微软承诺：2030年，成为一个负碳、正水、零废物的公司；从2030年到2050年，继续清零微软公司年度排放量，除此之外，微软还将努力消除自1975年成立以来与微软有关的所有排放量。同时，叶浩明谈到，气候危机不可能由任何一家公司、组织或政府来解决，为确保地球的健康未来，全球社会需要更多合作、创新、政策和承诺。
Mr. Mike Yeh, Regional Vice President and Associate General Counsel of Microsoft Asia, highlighted Microsoft’s long-term commitment to innovation and technology investment over the past decade in addressing environmental sustainability issues. Since 2012, Microsoft has been implementing an internal carbon pricing strategy to reduce carbon usage. In 2020, Microsoft introduced the Net Zero Commitment, pledging to become a company that is carbon negative, water positive, and waste-free by 2030. From 2030 to 2050, Microsoft will continue to eliminate its annual emissions, and furthermore, strive to eliminate all emissions associated with the company since its founding in 1975. Mr. Yeh also emphasized that the climate crisis cannot be solved by any single company, organization, or government alone. To ensure a healthy future for the planet, global society needs more collaboration, innovation, policies, and commitments.
