China News Service, Taiyuan, September 4 (Reporter Hu Jian) The "Extreme Environment and Future Energy Technology" sub-forum of the 2026 Taiyuan Energy Low-Carbon Development Forum theme event was held in Taiyuan, Shanxi on the 4th. Experts and scholars focused on the frontier exploration and practical application of clean energy, and Chinese and Russian universities signed a memorandum of cooperation on polar energy.
Wang Liwei, Vice Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointed out in his speech that after ten years of intensive development, the Taiyuan Energy Low-Carbon Development Forum has become a top domestic and internationally renowned high-end cooperation platform in the energy field. Currently, Shanxi's energy transformation is moving from a quantitative change of structural optimization to a qualitative change stage of technological breakthroughs. "We hope that academicians and experts can provide suggestions for Shanxi's energy revolution, and entrepreneurs are welcome to invest in Shanxi's industry. Shanxi will fully support energy technology innovation and the implementation of results."
Sun Hongbin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that extreme environments bring new challenges to the operation of energy equipment, and relevant technological research is related to national energy security and the overall "double carbon" strategy. He called on all parties to deepen the collaborative innovation of industry, academia and research, work together to break through key core technologies, and contribute scientific and technological innovation to the construction of a new energy system.
Five groups of strategic cooperation signings were signed at the opening ceremony. Huadian Jinsha River Upper Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. signed strategic agreements with Taiyuan University of Technology, Huayang New Materials Technology Group and Shanxi Energy Internet Research Institute respectively; China Huadian Science and Technology Group and Taiyuan University of Technology, Shenzhen Hangsheng Technology Investment Company and Shanxi Energy Internet Research Institute completed project signings; Huadian Shanxi Energy Co., Ltd., Taiyuan University of Technology and Shanxi Energy Internet Research Institute signed a tripartite cooperation agreement.
Major international cooperation results were simultaneously released at the meeting. In order to implement the important consensus reached by the heads of state of China and Russia on the "China-Russia Education Year", Taiyuan University of Technology and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology signed a memorandum of cooperation. The two parties focus on key technologies for Arctic extreme environment energy and jointly promote the construction of the "Snowflake" international Arctic station energy system project. This move is not only a technological innovation for polar energy security, but also a benchmark achievement for Chinese and Russian universities to carry out high-level international collaborative innovation.
In the keynote report session, several academicians made reports on electrochemical energy storage, prospects for the International Polar Year, polar clean energy and UHV wire ice melting technology. In the special report session, experts from China Electric Power Research Institute, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Harbin University of Science and Technology, and the Aerospace Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences shared cutting-edge results such as wind turbine simulation, bionic intelligent autopilot, high-performance insulation materials, and aerostat energy.
This event was jointly hosted by Taiyuan University of Technology and Shanxi Energy Internet Research Institute, attracting more than 60 units and more than 200 representatives.
