    Boao Forum: CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Outlines Core Technologies and Application-Driven Innovation for Green Industry Growth

    PR Newswire

    At the Boao Forum for Asia Perth Conference on July 27, Li Donglin, Chairman of CRRC Zhuzhou Institute, joined global political and business leaders to share the company’s strategy for scaling green industries through proprietary technologies and application-driven innovation. Discussing how to move innovation from the laboratory to commercial deployment, Li argued that real-world industrial settings should determine technology priorities. He cited partnerships with XCMG Group and Australian mining giant Fortescue as examples. Together they are creating integrated green value chains linking mines, railways and shipping—for example, using renewable energy to power electric locomotives and producing ammonia and methanol from renewable hydrogen for marine fuel. These system-level applications, Li said, create the real-world demand that drives innovation.”The economics of a project ultimately determine whether green innovation can scale globally,” Li said. He stressed that investors focus on profitability and long-term value. To that end, the company is raising R&D spending to improve the efficiency of green energy conversion and drive unit costs down to globally competitive levels.

Of the approximately 172,000 electricity users nationwide, 90% are concentrated in Freetown, leaving most regions with limited access to reliable power.
