From October 5 to 7, 2020, Academician Expert Workstation Seminar and Green Catalysis Think Tank work sponsored by Shanghai Low Carbon Technology Innovation Functional Platform was held in Songjiang, Shanghai. More than 20 academician experts including Academician He Mingyuan, Academician Chen Kaixian, Academician Bao Xinhe, Academician Ding Kuiling, Academician Duan Xue, Academician Han Buxing and Academician Wu Yundong attended the conference. Sun Yuhan, director of Shanghai Low Carbon Technology Innovation Functional Platform, presided over the opening ceremony of the seminar, and Li Xiaonian, President of Zhejiang University of Technology, summarized the recent work of Green Catalysis Think Tank.

At the seminar, researcher Wang Hui, executive director of the platform, introduced the progress of the low-carbon functional platform, and reported the phased results of the industrial pilot project of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to synthesize methanol of 5000 tons/year; Professor Lu Yong of East China Normal University, President Yang Weimin of Shanghai Petrochemical Research Institute of Sinopec, and researcher Tang Zhiyong of Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies of Chinese Academy of Sciences respectively made special reports on methane oxidative coupling/carbon dioxide hydrogenation catalytic utilization, carbon dioxide chemical technology and its prospect and bionic microfluidic chemical industry. Based on the theme of green carbon science, academicians and experts made wonderful comments on the utilization of carbon resources, carbon dioxide chemical industry, bionic reactor and other related work, and put forward valuable guiding opinions on the development of the platform and future strategic deployment and the follow-up work of academician workstation. At present, under the promotion of the green catalytic think tank, the platform is implementing projects such as the demonstration of green hydrogen energy and its utilization in the west, the low-carbon transformation and utilization of carbon-rich resources and the efficient utilization of characteristic resources.

Academician Ming Yuan stressed the importance of carbon resource processing and carbon atom economy optimization, shared recent research results and put forward some suggestions for the development of green carbon science. Academician Bao Xinhe and others pointed out that China has huge carbon emission resources, carbon dioxide is not only a "new" carbon source, but also its transformation and utilization is a major energy issue, to realize the efficient transformation and recycling of carbon resources has become the trend of The Times. "Green carbon science" can build a new green ecological energy chemical industry system, requiring us to gradually form a system from high carbon to low carbon or even carbon neutral based on the existing energy system.

Speech by Academician He Mingyuan

This symposium presents a high-level and high-standard academic feast for the field of low-carbon technology. Through academic exchanges and discussions, the collision and leapfrog in cognition were realized, and the cultivation of platform innovation team was strengthened; Through technical collaboration and industrial cooperation, it gives full play to the leading role of academicians and experts, promotes the close combination of advanced scientific research achievements and the needs of the platform's innovation and development, and promotes the organic connection and efficient operation of "production, university, research and application". This is of great significance to promoting the overall strategic layout of low-carbon functional platforms, improving scientific and technological innovation capabilities and building a low-carbon scientific and technological innovation hub.
