China’s competitiveness in cutting-edge technologies to combat global warming continues to risehighlights today a survey published by the Asian giant’s Nikkei platform.
The survey shows that China ranks first in the world in terms of the number of patents related to the capture and storage of carbon dioxide produced by factories and power plants, three times more than the United States, which ranks second.
Besides, The Asian nation also dominates the global market for batteries for electric vehicles and photovoltaic panelswith sustained growth in decarbonized supply chains.
Nikkei analyzed patents obtained in major countries from 2000 to February 2024.
The results show that Chinese enterprises and research institutions have strong technical capabilities in a wide range of fields, such as carbon dioxide separation and the conversion of hydrocarbons into chemical feedstocks..
Carbon dioxide capture is one of the key technologies to combat global warming; It can capture factory exhaust gases and carbon dioxide contained in the atmosphere and bury them underground or use them as raw materials for chemicals.
