The Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV) co-hosted the Sino-Danish Seminar on Energy Transition for Carbon Zero via video link on January 12, 2023.

Li Xiaohong, President of the CAE, and Carsten Toft Boesen, Vice President of the ATV, attended the online conference that was co-chaired by CAE Vice President Wu Manqing and ATV Managing Director Lia Leffland.

Li said that the CAE, which attaches great importance to strategic research on carbon neutrality and energy transition, regards the achievement of reaching net zero emissions as a profound, systemic transformation in economic and social development.

He also said the key and foundation for carbon neutrality is to establish a modern energy system that is clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient, an endeavor that relies on scientific and technological innovation as well as strengthened international exchanges.

Li said he hopes the seminar will further promote cooperation between China and Denmark in advancing innovation in the low-carbon energy transition.

In the meeting, Carsten hailed the good foundation for cooperation between the two countries in the field of energy storage. He called for further use of new technologies to reduce carbon emissions and jointly address global challenges such as climate change.

Carsten also stated that as members of the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS), both the CAE and ATV should actively participate in the work of the CAETS Energy Committee while deepening exchanges to facilitate university-industry collaboration between China and Denmark in the field of energy.

Experts from the two countries made presentations on a wide range of topics including energy transition strategies, the history of research cooperation, progress into energy system integration and the development of energy markets. They also gave suggestions for future cooperation.
