Nan ZHAO, senior engineer at the Metallurgical Industry Economic Development Center, pointed out that the continuous deepening of supply-side reform will lead to a downward trend in the total output of the steel industry in the future. At the same time, technological innovation will drive high-quality development, and carbon neutrality in the steel industry needs to be achieved in a coordinated manner.

Rui WU, director of the Environmental Resources Department of the Planning and Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, made the following predictions regarding the development of freight demand: under the dual-carbon goal, coal consumption is expected to accelerate its reduction, the growth of foreign trade will bring about an increase in the total volume of goods transportation, the optimization of industrial structure will have a limited impact on freight transportation, and it is expected that China's future bulk cargo volume will peak around 2030, driving the freight growth rate of bulk material transportation modes such as railways and waterways to peak.

WANG Zhe, Director of the Transportation Project at the Rocky Mountain Institute, pointed out that under current conditions, with certain policy, technological, and market support, urban logistics vehicles can achieve comprehensive electrification. Shenzhen has set an example, with a current adoption rate of 30% to 50%.

LIU Daizong, Director of the Sustainable Cities Division at the China Representative Office of the World Resources Institute, pointed out that China, the US, and Europe are currently the top three regions in the world with the highest cumulative carbon emissions. From the perspective of carbon emissions by industry in China, the transportation industry ranks third. If no intervention measures are taken, the carbon emissions from the transportation industry will rise the fastest among all industries in the future, and therefore constitute the biggest challenge.

ZHU Hong, deputy director of the Shanghai Institute of Urban and Rural Construction and Transportation Development, proposed four ways to structurally construct low-carbon transportation, including spatial structure, travel structure, transportation structure, and energy structure. Spatial structure and travel structure are the underlying basis for achieving carbon peak in transportation. In terms of transportation structure, the transportation efficiency of all passenger transportation modes is far greater than the carbon reduction that can be achieved through energy structure adjustment. Improving transportation efficiency should not only focus on intensive transportation, but also on individual transportation.

WANG Ji, expert from the China Society of Automotive Engineers, stated that China's hydrogen and fuel cell vehicle industry is still in its infancy and has a certain gap compared to international standards. However, China has advantages in terms of system, resources, and market size, and has enormous potential for industrial development. However, considering the various challenges faced by the industry, Wang Ji has put forward six specific suggestions for the long-term development of the industry.

WANG Ji, expert from the China Society of Automotive Engineers, pointed out that China's policies mainly support the development of the hydrogen and fuel cell vehicle industry from macro strategic planning, scientific and technological innovation, industry management, and fiscal and tax policies. At the same time, the United States, Japan, and Europe have also consistently considered hydrogen energy as an important part of their energy strategies and have issued multiple supportive policies.

LIU Kefei, General Manager of Light Mileage (Shanghai) Internet of Things Technology Co., Ltd., mentioned that the hydrogen energy fuel cell industry is still in its infancy, and for users, there are multiple concerns about sustainable applications, so the promotion of commercial operation has been slow. Therefore, we need to start from the user's focus, which is the scenario to drive the entire industry to accelerate the market-oriented operation of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles.
