Gao Jifan Attended the Perth Meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia and Made Three Suggestions to Promote the Coordinated Development of Green Industry in the Asia-Pacific Region

On July 27, the Perth Conference of the Boao Forum for Asia was held in Perth, Australia. More than 200 representatives from the global political, business and academic circles held in-depth exchanges around the theme of the conference, "Green Transformation: Towards a Common Future for People and the Earth". Gao Jifan, chairman and CEO of Trina Solar, was invited to attend the meeting and shared with representatives of leading enterprises in the fields of global energy, finance and manufacturing to share Trina's practice and development suggestions on issues such as AI computing power driving energy transformation and Asia-Pacific green industry cooperation. In their speeches at the conference, Zhang Jun, Secretary-General of the

Boao Forum for Asia, and Liu Zhenmin, China's special envoy on climate change, both stressed the importance of deepening international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific green industry for ensuring regional energy security and global climate governance. China and Australia have strong complementary advantages in the fields of wind and solar resources, new energy manufacturing, green fuel and energy storage equipment, and have broad cooperation space. In his round-table speech, Gao Jifan put forward three suggestions on new ideas for industrial development and regional cooperation in the light of Trina Solar's global practice, which aroused widespread concern on the spot. Coming to the "Sunshine City" Perth again

after two years, Gao Jifan felt more cordial. " The year before last, I had the honor to visit Perth with Prime Minister Li Qiang, attended the 7th China-Australia CEO Roundtable and made a speech. I deeply felt the unique endowment and great potential of this city in the field of green energy. "He said that Australia has unique solar energy resources, which can be regarded as the natural fertile soil for the large-scale and industrialized development of global clean energy.". At present, Australia's energy transformation continues to accelerate, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic is in the forefront of the world, the annual installed capacity of energy storage has achieved a leap-forward growth of nearly 9 times, and the proportion of renewable energy generation has exceeded 40%. Gao Jifan pointed out that a greener, more robust and more resilient modern energy system is accelerating its formation, providing a vivid practical sample for the synergy of low-carbon transformation and green industry in the Asia-Pacific region.

AI Computing Power Promotes Three Major Changes

Green Power Officially Leaps to the Main Energy Source

Gao Jifan pointed out that 1/4 of the new global electricity demand in the next 10 years will come from AI Computing Power Center, and this trend is reshaping the energy development pattern from the underlying logic and ushering in three major changes: Demand is no longer just about cost, but also highly concerned about the stability, dispatchability and green zero-carbon attributes of electricity. China AI Computing Power Center requires that more than 80% of electricity comes from renewable energy. Second, computing power infrastructure has become the largest incremental consumption scenario of green power, giving birth to a new track of "computing power synergy, green power intelligent computing"; Thirdly, energy enterprises must upgrade from equipment sales to " source network load storage and calculation" integrated solution service providers.

At present, Trina Solar is seizing new industrial opportunities, firmly expanding from the leader of optical hydrogen storage intelligent energy solutions to AIDC global solutions, actively laying out SST-solid-state transformers and other architecture-defining products, and is leaping from a supplier of green energy solutions to an architecture-definer of green power intelligent computing and integration. Trina Solar Qinghai has built the world's first zero-carbon computing power benchmarking project for direct supply of green power at high altitudes, which has reduced the cost of electricity by 50% and verified the feasibility and replicability of the business model of "integration of optical storage and computing". When

talking about Asia-Pacific green industry cooperation, Gao Jifan put forward three

practical

suggestions based on the complementary advantages of Chinese and Australian industries and the actual needs of the Asia-Pacific region . Build an open and mutually recognized green trade environment. "At the APEC Trade Ministers'luncheon in May this year, I proposed to reduce tariffs on hydrogen storage products, promote mutual recognition of standards such as carbon footprint certification and environmental product declarations, so that green attributes can be truly transformed into market premiums." Second, build a mutually beneficial and win-win industrial cooperation system. Australia has the top scenery resources, China has a complete manufacturing industry chain of light hydrogen storage products, and China and Australia complement each other to achieve the coordinated development of green industry. At present, Tianhe has supplied 6.5G W photovoltaic modules to Australia, which has been rated as the most valuable module brand for four consecutive years, and delivered 170MWh energy storage system, and another 600MWh before the end of the year. Third, expand the application scenarios of innovation and integration. It is suggested that countries in the Asia-Pacific region should focus on supporting three major directions: first, green fuels such as green hydrogen and green ammonia, which provide feasible solutions for deep decarbonization of steel and shipping, and Trina Solar is also actively laying out the green hydrogen ammonia alcohol industry; second, a green computing center, which uses zero-carbon electricity to drive the digital age; third, a zero-carbon park with deep integration of photovoltaic and energy storage. Trina Solar has also made a deep layout in Australia. In March this year, the Goulburn Community Solar Storage Power Station in New South Wales was successfully put into operation. Through the perfect coordination of Trina Solar high-efficiency components and advanced energy storage systems, the project has created a typical community-level microgrid demonstration, creating a demonstration model for distributed energy to ensure the safety of people's livelihood.

Gao Jifan appealed that Asia-Pacific green industry cooperation can not be separated from government policy coordination, market demand traction and enterprise cooperation landing. It is expected that all countries will open up green trade, build collaborative industrial chains, enrich low-carbon application scenarios, and work together to cultivate an integrated Asia-Pacific green market to become a leading region in the global green transformation and development, leading the global zero-carbon transformation to a broader future.
