On November 6, at the 6th China International Import Expo, Johnson Controls held a “Boundless Creation, Smart Future" theme forum. David W Budzinski, President of Johnson Controls Global Products, Household and Light Commercial Products, and Liu Ping, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Shanghai Electric, signed the "Carbon & Digitalization" Joint Lab Strategic Cooperation Agreement, and inaugurated the laboratory. The two sides will further support the national strategy, strive for the realization of the national "dual carbon" goal, deepen the cooperation in the field of green and low carbon development, and open a new chapter of cooperation.

Following the release of "Zero Carbon Industrial Park Path and Evaluation” in September at CIIF, which was initiated by the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange and Shanghai Electric, Johnson Controls and other partners, Johnson Controls and Shanghai Electric once again joined hands. The establishment of the Joint Laboratory will further deepen the cooperation of the two sides in green, low-carbon and sustainable development.

Jointly researching major projects, making technological innovation, and sharing resources and results, the joint laboratory will upgrade the open cooperation between the two sides. The two sides can give full play to their complementary advantages, resource and load synergy, close integration of digital intelligence, strengthen cooperation, and launch more cooperation projects in cities, neighborhoods, parks, buildings and other scenarios, to jointly build a platform of green, low-carbon and intelligent solutions and services integrating "electricity-cooling-heat-gas" sources, and to set more green low-carbon transformation benchmarks. In addition, the two sides will actively serve the country's green and low-carbon transformation, accelerate the construction of zero-carbon factories and parks, optimize the supply chain of green and clean energy, comprehensively build a green and low-carbon supply chain system, and explore energy saving, carbon reduction and efficiency promotion efforts.
