In the context of achieving the national "dual carbon" goal, China Resources Beer responded positively and officially unveiled its carbon-neutral R&D center on January 19. The center will focus on the research and development of carbon-neutral technologies in the field of beer and liquor, and contribute to the cause of environmental protection with practical actions. Hou Xiaohai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of China Resources Beer, and other leaders attended the unveiling ceremony, witnessing this important moment and demonstrating the company's firm determination on the road of sustainable development.
Implement the national "dual carbon" and innovation-driven strategyConform to the green development of the beer white industry
**In 2021, the Action Plan for Carbon Peaking Before 2030 was issued, which takes improving the innovation system and mechanism, strengthening innovation capacity building and talent training, strengthening applied basic research, and accelerating the R&D and promotion and application of advanced and applicable technologies as an important starting point for green and low-carbon science and technology innovation actions.
In the context of "dual carbon", the beer and liquor industries are also facing the problems of increased production costs, insufficient reuse of energy consumption, water consumption, solid waste by-products, and unbalanced regional coordination caused by the realization of the "double carbon" goal. However, at the same time, there are also opportunities for the green transformation and upgrading of traditional liquor enterprises, the improvement of resource utilization, and the innovative development of green beer and liquor.
CR Beer aspires to be a "leader in the new world of beer and an explorer in the new world of liquor", actively responds to the call of the country, and makes efforts for the long-term and sustainable development of the beer and liquor industry with a high sense of social responsibility and mission. We have always combined the national carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals with the company's strategy and planning, summarized past experience, and carried out technological innovation and model adjustment according to business needs, accumulated experience in the construction of carbon-neutral factories, and improved carbon management capabilities.
The inauguration of the carbon neutrality R&D center is an important milestone for CR Beer to further implement the innovation-driven development strategy, actively implement the national "3060" dual carbon goal, promote the green and low-carbon development of the beer and liquor industries, fulfill the best corporate social responsibility, concentrate superior scientific and technological innovation resources, promote all units to carry out research on the special topic of "double carbon", explore the "double carbon" path, empower the practice of "double carbon", and contribute wisdom to the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
Focus on innovation and green developmentMeet the company's sustainable development needs
Zhong Junhui, President of China Resources Beer Technology Research Institute, introduced in detail the establishment goals and development plan of the carbon neutral R&D center from the aspects of establishment background, organizational structure, project design, and promotion measures.
The Carbon Neutrality R&D Center is jointly initiated by China Resources Beer Technology Research Institute, the Department of Environmental Health and Safety, multiple departments of China Resources Snowflake, and the Operation Excellence Department of China Resources Wine, with the goal of "helping to achieve the national strategic goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and accelerating the research, transformation and application of carbon neutral green technology in the beer and liquor industries". Path research, talent training and platform construction, leading the green development of the beer and liquor industry with innovation.
The Carbon Neutrality R&D Center will focus on the national "dual carbon" policy planning, carry out the analysis of the upstream and downstream status of the "beer + liquor" industry, and the investigation and research on the technical research and application of key enterprises and universities. Through industry-university-research cooperation, we will cooperate with universities and research institutes to jointly carry out technical research in the field of "double carbon". Actively carry out the application of ** projects in the field of "dual carbon", and provide sufficient support and guarantee for carbon neutrality innovation through effective collaborative management of internal resources of enterprises.
Li Yong, professional director of the environmental health and safety department of China Resources Group, said that from the perspective of achieving carbon neutrality, all walks of life need technological innovation and breakthroughs, and the establishment of the carbon neutral R&D center of China Resources Beer is a good supplement and promotion of the "dual carbon" work.
Hou Xiaohai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of China Resources Beer, said that the establishment of a carbon neutral R&D center by China Resources Beer is only the first step in a long march, and in the future work, it is necessary to make full use of the practical role of the carbon neutral R&D center and base, do a good job in the second half of the article, formulate feasible landing plans, accelerate the promotion and application of mature carbon reduction technologies, actively tackle research projects that are not yet mature, forward-looking and innovative, and promote, make good use of and give full play to the important role of technological innovation in the "double carbon" work. At the same time, the "dual carbon" work is also an important task for the company's "3+3+3" strategy to achieve high-end success and excellent development in the next three years.
The Carbon Neutral R&D Center is committed to deepening the decarbonization process of the industrial side and promoting the low-carbon transformation of energy, and providing solid support for the construction of carbon-neutral factories with the help of technology and model innovation. As a leading enterprise in the domestic beer industry, China Resources will actively respond to the national "dual carbon" goal with its unique strength, and contribute wisdom and strength to the realization of green and sustainable development.
