Tongkun Group and Zhongke Guosheng successfully conducted a pilot test of the bio-based furan polyester fiber cooperation project, laying out bio-based materials. The entry of these industry giants has brought strong financial, technological, and resource support to the new energy industry.
(3) Cost Reduction
The cost of upstream components and batteries is decreasing, as well as the cost of building stations. With technological advancements and the expansion of industrial scale, the cost of power batteries is rapidly decreasing. Taking an electric vehicle with a 60 kWh battery as an example, if the price of lithium carbonate rises by 10,000 yuan per ton, the cost of the entire vehicle will increase by 3,500 to 4,500 yuan. Conversely, when the price of lithium carbonate falls, the manufacturing cost of electric vehicles will also decrease accordingly. At the same time, the reduction in station construction costs has provided favorable conditions for the development of the new energy industry.
(4) Favorable for Enterprises
For enterprises, new energy brings many benefits. On one hand, enterprises can enjoy discounts on electricity bills without having to pay, reducing operating costs. On the other hand, the income of employees has also increased, with intermediary fees ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan, and intermediary income has also increased. This has attracted more enterprises to invest in the field of new energy, promoting the development of the new energy industry.
(5) Product Advantages
New energy vehicles surpass traditional fuel vehicles in performance, design, and intelligence, and car companies pay more attention to consumers. New energy vehicles comprehensively surpass traditional fuel vehicles in performance, have cooler designs, and make rapid progress in intelligence. Additionally, new energy car companies do not overprice their products, use high-quality materials, and provide an excellent user experience. For example, a new energy vehicle priced at over 200,000 yuan can provide consumers with Napa leather seats, full wood trim, fur, electric suction doors, electric seats, heated steering wheel, massage, ventilation, and air suspension. In addition, new energy vehicles have strong power, fast electric drive, and combined kinetic energy recovery, making it easy to achieve a harmonious relationship between the driver and the vehicle. They are also particularly quiet, without the smell of gasoline, and the car's interactive system and intelligent driving system have improved the driving experience. These advantages have made new energy vehicles increasingly popular among consumers.
(1) Green Transportation
The development of electric vehicles in the field of new energy transportation has been rapid, and China has been the world's largest new energy vehicle market for eight consecutive years. In 2022, the national sales of new energy vehicles reached 6.887 million units, with a penetration rate of 25.6%. New technologies and products such as sodium-ion batteries, lead-carbon batteries, and solid-state batteries continue to emerge, driving industry innovation and development. Although fuel cell vehicles are in the stage of market introduction, under policy guidance, production and sales are expected to increase rapidly in the coming years. In 2022, China's sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles reached 3,367 units, with commercial vehicles accounting for over 90%, and a total of 358 hydrogen refueling stations have been built, ranking first globally. Green ships have also become a new trend in shipping. Under the global trend of carbon reduction, driven by the dual demand for the electrification of existing ships and the addition of new electric ships, electric ships with significant advantages such as "zero noise, low emissions" have become a new trend in shipping. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, and other five ministries jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Green and Intelligent Development of Inland Waterway Vessels," clearly proposing to vigorously develop green and intelligent ships, strengthen the use of hybrid power for ships, LNG power, battery power, ammonia fuel, hydrogen fuel, and other low-carbon clean energy equipment, accelerate the research and development and demonstration application of the new generation of green and intelligent ships.
(2) Green Buildings
Green buildings, based on green concepts in the process of architectural design, construction, and operation, comprehensively use various environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving technologies to achieve the harmonious coexistence of people, buildings, and nature. The carbon emissions from the entire life cycle of buildings in China account for more than 50% of the total national carbon emissions, with the carbon emissions during the operation phase of buildings accounting for 22%. The efficient utilization of local renewable energy for building operation will become an important aspect of achieving the goals of green buildings. Mainly through various methods such as "installable" solar photovoltaic buildings, integrated photovoltaic buildings, etc., to build a micro-circulating energy system centered on energy storage and multi-energy complementarity.
