Heraeus: Helping China towards the goal of 'double carbon'

At the 5th China International Import Expo held in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, Hercules, a German science and technology giant, exhibited a variety of key materials and technologies in the field of environmental protection, including precious metal recycling, high-efficiency photovoltaic cell paste, power electronic system of electric vehicles, etc. Among them, the Chameleon optical fiber continuous temperature measurement system used in the metallurgical industry was the first exhibition in Asia.

As an "old friend" of the Expo, Holly's has entered the "Low Carbon Energy and Environmental Protection Technology Zone" for the first time this year. Jan Rinnert, Chairman and CEO of Heraeus Group, said: "The Expo provides us with an excellent platform to share and explore opportunities. This year, we will combine Heraeus' technical expertise with the growing environmental protection needs of Chinese customers, covering green energy, green travel, green metallurgy and circular economy. Through these efforts, Heraeus hopes to work with customers and the industry to help China achieve its climate control goals."

To this end, Hercules this year focused on the theme of "Materials Technology Helps Low Carbon and Environmental Protection", highlighting the concept of green environmental protection in its design. For example, Hercules related products and technologies are displayed in the "Green Planet" shaped display cabinets. During the six day exhibition, it is expected to receive thousands of visitors on site, exchange in-depth low-carbon topics with guests from the government, customers, associations, scientific research institutions, media and other guests, promote environmental protection cooperation, and help the high-quality development of China's photovoltaic, electric vehicles, metallurgy and other related industries.

For example, China's steel industry carbon emissions account for about 15% of the total carbon emissions of the country, facing severe pressure to reduce emissions. Holly's products are used in metallurgy and casting process to conduct online measurement and analysis of liquid metal, and win the long-term trust of many metallurgical giants with high-precision technology and high-quality services. This time, Holly's Chameleon came all the way from Europe ™， As an innovative technology, it is helpful to explore the optimal potential of metallurgical electric arc furnace, provide continuous and accurate temperature measurement, and the measurement process does not interrupt the induced current, and does not destroy foam slag, so as to realize energy saving, carbon reduction and high yield in the electric furnace steelmaking process, and improve the quality of steel products.

In order to maximize the effect of entering the Expo, Heraeus covers more audiences and expands its influence by digital means. From November 6 to 9, experts from Heraeus will hold an online forum with guests from Tongji University, Shanghai University, Ernst&Young, etc., to interpret the opportunities and challenges for electric vehicles, new energy, metallurgy, circular economy and other industries to move towards low-carbon from multiple perspectives, and explore a green development path through industry university research cooperation.

"China is one of the most important markets of Heraeus in the world." In an interview on November 7, Dr. Ai Zhouping, President of Heraeus Greater China, stressed that, "Heraeus has participated in the Expo for five consecutive times, and has signed the sixth session ahead of schedule. On this platform, we have deepened strategic cooperation with partners from all walks of life, and achieved fruitful results. In the future, we will continue to give play to Heraeus' material expertise, and create more value for our partners. In particular, we will vigorously promote new products and technologies in the field of environmental protection, and strive to promote low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry, so as to achieve" green mountains and green waters " ’To benefit the people's livelihood and improve the quality of life.
