This training program included industrial training sessions on the morning of May 30 and 31, followed by a field research visit on the afternoon of May 31. Seven senior experts from institutions and companies such as SIHET, Shanghai University of Electric Power, Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center, Huanqiao Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., Ovo New Energy, Star Charge, and Tianshun Smart Energy delivered lectures.
Zhang Zhen, Executive Dean of the China EV100 Low Carbon Integrated Development Institute and President of SIHET, delivered a lecture titled "Analysis of Green Energy Landscape and Industrial Opportunities." The course explained the significance of green electricity and green hydrogen for carbon neutrality, the critical role of green hydrogen in integrated source-grid-load-storage systems, and industrial opportunities in niche areas such as smart microgrids, battery-swapping stations, ultra-fast charging, and hydrogen energy storage.
Hu Lijiao from Huanqiao (Shanghai) Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. lectured on "Interpretation of Green Certificate Policies, Market Transactions, and Their Relationship with Carbon Markets," analyzing the development background, definitions, policy trends, trading mechanisms, and relationships between green certificates and carbon markets.
Li Hongqing, Senior Vice President of Star Charge, delivered a lecture titled "From Charging Operations to Integrated Energy Management," introducing the development background of new energy, current trends and challenges in the charging industry, station operations, and integrated energy service models.
Ou Mingyu, an expert from the Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center, lectured on "Management and Practices of Shenzhen Virtual Power Plants," systematically analyzing the multi-layered effects of virtual power plants, their management similarities to physical plants, and Shenzhen’s dispatching and operational experiences.
Wu Chunsheng, General Manager and Senior Engineer of Tianshun Smart Energy, delivered a lecture titled "RE Scaling Applications: Prospects and Practices," covering renewable energy application forecasts, technical pathways, case studies, and energy storage solutions.
Yu Xinrui, Vice President and R&D Director of Ovo New Energy, lectured on "Leading a Low-Carbon Lifestyle Through Battery Swapping," discussing the advantages of battery-swapping models, large-scale deployment of vehicle-battery separation, integrated swap-storage-charging systems, and Ovo’s practical experience.
Zhao Jinbin, Professor and doctoral supervisor at Shanghai University of Electric Power’s Offshore Wind Power Research Institute, delivered a lecture titled "Key Technical Pathways for Green Hydrogen Applications in Supporting New Power Systems," introducing key technologies for new power systems, long-term operational characteristics of hydrogen energy storage systems, and their carbon emission reduction potential under carbon neutrality goals.
Field Research Visit on the Afternoon of May 31，The training concluded with a field visit to the following locations:
Tongji University Intelligent Connected Vehicle Testing Base
The first site was Tongji University’s Intelligent Connected Vehicle Testing Base, which focuses on testing and demonstrating key technologies for smart vehicles and connected communications. The base integrates DSRC, LTE-V, Wi-Fi-based V2X communication scenarios and covers four categories of critical technologies: safety, efficiency, information integration, and new energy vehicles. It serves as a vital platform for R&D, product testing, certification, and standard-setting in China’s smart vehicle industry.
Shanghai Symbio Fuel Cell Technology Co., Ltd.
The second site was Shanghai Symbio Fuel Cell Technology Co., Ltd., a leading hydrogen energy company specializing in the independent development and scalable production of fuel cell systems, stacks, membranes, bipolar plates, hydrogen circulation systems, and boost converters. Symbio is one of few enterprises in China that has established a full industrial chain from base materials to core components, system products, and commercial applications.
Ovo Qingpu Hutongping Highway Battery-Swapping Station
The final site was Ovo’s battery-swapping station on Qingpu’s Hutongping Highway. Ovo has established a closed-loop business model encompassing core swapping technology R&D, commercial station operations, battery financing, lifecycle management, integrated swap-storage-charging systems, power trading, and carbon trading. The company collaborates with over 16 mainstream automakers, including FAW, Dongfeng, Changan, SAIC, BAIC, GAC, and Nissan, to develop and service more than 30 swappable vehicle models under multi-brand partnerships.
After two days of industrial training and field research, Session 2 of the Green Energy and Corporate Low-Carbon Transformation Capacity Building series concluded successfully. All participants received certificates of completion.
Feedback from attendees highlighted widespread satisfaction and anticipation for future sessions. Participants emphasized that the training provided clarity on the future of low-carbon industries, deepened their understanding of emerging opportunities, and fostered valuable connections with peers. The exchange of experiences, resource-sharing, and collaborative discussions on advancing green low-carbon development not only benefited their enterprises but also enhanced their professional growth.
