The building materials industry is one of the industries with the most important carbon reduction tasks in our country. Accelerating the development of energy conservation and carbon reduction in the building materials industry is of great significance to the realization of our country's “double carbon” goal.As an important part of the building materials industry, China's glass industry insists on being a practitioner, forerunner, and innovator of green development. With the joint efforts of the whole industry, it will promote the development of the industry to the “four” of thinning, high permeability, large-scale, and functionalization, and complete the high-end transformation of glass from traditional building materials to strategic materials for information display, new energy, life and health.Adhere to the practice of the concept of green development, vigorously promote the development and application of energy-saving and carbon-reducing technologies such as oxygen combustion in the glass industry, thermal insulation in furnaces, high-efficiency dust removal, desulfurization and denitration, and waste heat utilization, and promote the green upgrading of the glass industry.

Compared with 2000, the unit energy consumption and pollutant emission levels of China's glass industry have been reduced by more than 50%, and the world's largest single-sided cadmium telluride power generation glass with an area of 1.92 square meters has been successfully rolled off the production line. Independent research and development of 300mm×300mm copper indium gallium selenium power generation glass with the world's highest conversion efficiency of more than 20% champion components, set off the energy technology revolution of power generation glass-DIPV technology, and stepped out of a new path of high-end and green development of China's glass industry.

2022 is the International Year of Glass. This is the first time that the United Nations has named a year after a single material, which fully affirms the important position of glass in the transformation of a low-carbon economy.Facing the rising global consensus on building a community of green destiny for mankind, facing the new requirements and characteristics of our country's “three new and one high”, and facing the changes in the times, policies, and opportunities brought about by the 20th National Congress of the Party, the glass industry urgently needs to adhere to the problem-oriented, demand-oriented, and result-oriented, focusing on the overall goal of carbon peaking in the building materials industry, with high-end, greening, and internationalization as the main line, to further improve the quality, development efficiency, and development level of the industry, and ensure that carbon peaking is achieved on schedule and carbon neutrality is accelerated.The implementation path mainly includes the following four.
