Since the beginning of the year, green transformation from high-end equipment to traditional industries is opening up new growth space for my country’s foreign trade.
The air separation plant workshop in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province is showing a busy scene, with multiple production lines operating at full capacity and rushing to process overseas orders.
One of the devices is about to be sent to a large steel plant in Algeria. This device has significant energy-saving advantages. Its energy consumption has dropped by 17% compared with the previous generation. It can save up to 20 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and can help steel production achieve “source carbon reduction.”
Chen Xiesheng, the person in charge of the company, said that through its own technical research and development and design, this equipment has achieved a significant reduction in energy consumption, which is 17% lower than the previous generation of air separation equipment.
Their overseas products have been sold to Africa, America, the Middle East and other regions.
High-quality green supply provides China’s solution for the global green transformation.
In 2025, my country’s exports of industrial gas purification devices will increase by 17.3%. In the field of green energy, exports of lithium batteries and wind turbines will increase by 26.2% and 48.7% respectively.
This series of data fully demonstrates my country’s strong momentum in exporting green products.
Green momentum is also accelerating the accumulation of traditional industries.
At present, many textile companies in my country are starting from energy utilization and production processes to improve environmental protection levels.
In a textile company in Changxing, Zhejiang Province, the company received a green electricity consumption accounting sheet early in the morning. This list clearly marked the company’s electricity consumption and the traceability information of green electricity.
From rooftop photovoltaics and self-use to water-saving reuse and application of recycled materials, the company incorporates green requirements throughout the entire production process.
As the environmental standards of enterprises continue to improve, this “one step ahead” green layout is being translated into stable foreign trade orders.
Shi Ying, the person in charge of a textile printing and dyeing foreign trade company in Zhejiang, said that now, their European customers generally have very high requirements for product quality and environmental protection. Especially in recent years, they generally control environmental protection throughout the entire process from the source.
By reducing energy consumption with technological upgrades and connecting with the market with green standards, my country’s foreign trade companies are laying a solid foundation for the high-quality development of foreign trade with a higher “green content”.
Li Na, deputy director of the Department of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in the next step, they will enhance the green and low-carbon development capabilities of enterprises, strengthen training and promotion, and guide leading enterprises to drive the foreign trade production and supply chain to accelerate green and low-carbon transformation and reduce the carbon emissions of products.
Expand the import and export of green products and technologies, and develop environmentally friendly, resource-intensive green and low-carbon products and technology trade.
It is foreseeable that, driven by green transformation, my country’s foreign trade will usher in broader development prospects.
