For the first time, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei have jointly released a collection of 23 case studies on green and low-carbon technologies, highlighting innovations that support sustainability and energy efficiency. The Beijing Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Center, the Tianjin Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Center, and the Hebei Green Development Service Center collaborated on the report, which focuses on technological breakthroughs and real-world applications.
Covering sectors such as construction, industry, transportation, data centers, and municipal infrastructure, the selected projects emphasize innovation, efficiency, and scalability. Notably, 91.3% of the featured technologies hold invention patents, reflecting the latest advancements in green and low-carbon development.
“All the selected technologies have been successfully implemented within the past three years and are delivering stable, measurable energy savings and emissions reductions. These case studies offer valuable models for regional industries looking to transition toward greener operations,” said a representative from the Hebei Green Development Service Center.
Among the highlighted projects is a smart energy-saving upgrade to the water pump system at Shougang Jingtang Iron & Steel. According to Xu Sheng, an engineer from the company’s Energy and Environmental Protection Department, the upgrade introduced full automation for three water pumps in the hydroelectric operations area. As a result, the system cut electricity consumption per hour from 33 kWh to 10.7 kWh, achieving a 67.5% energy savings rate. The system also automatically adjusts pump frequency to maintain stable pipeline pressure, reducing both energy waste and labor requirements.
Another example is Kuishan Cement Co., Ltd.'s adoption of a new coal combustion catalyst, which was introduced in early 2024. This technology enhances coal combustion efficiency using rare earth elements, significantly reducing energy consumption while lowering emissions of dust and harmful gases. “With our daily clinker output of 3,000 tons, the new catalyst allows us to save more than 0.6 tons of coal per day,” said Zhu Bingyu, General Manager of Kuishan Cement. This innovation helps reduce energy use and emissions while improving overall operational efficiency.
Innovation in green and low-carbon technologies is playing a key role in transforming the regional economy. Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei are actively shifting toward a more sustainable, low-carbon development model, working to modernize traditional industries while fostering emerging green sectors. By prioritizing high-tech, resource-efficient, and environmentally friendly industries, the region is paving the way for new economic growth drivers and a cleaner industrial landscape.
