Wang Pu Zhong, CEO of core local business of Meituan, said at the award ceremony that on the road of green and low-carbon development, Meituan always believes in the power of scientific and technological progress.
The goal of the Qingshan Science and Technology Award is not to pursue financial returns, but to look to the future, identify advanced technology and research and development talents in this field, and give them the best help they can.
Science and technology drive green transformation, helping scientific research results from the laboratory to the market
The Tsingshan Science and Technology Award supports young researchers who have played a key role in the fields of materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science and energy science.
The award evaluation has been held for three sessions, and a total of 29 young scientists have been funded to carry out cutting-edge exploration in the fields of green low-carbon materials, carbon capture and resource utilization, new energy and energy storage, and collaborative control of carbon and pollution reduction.
Awards by more than 20 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, including hundreds of well-known experts in the industry to conduct a fair and fair review,
review and award once a year, each award is not more than 10 people, each can be rewarded with 1 million yuan, the purpose of the prize is not limited, winners can be free to use according to demand.
Assisting the landing of scientific research achievements is an important goal of Qingshan Science and Technology Award. The award focuses on scientific and technological innovation in the green and low-carbon field that can truly land and produce practical benefits, helping scientific research achievements from the laboratory to the market.
Among the winners are Yu Yan and Li Li, female scientists who study sodium batteries and battery recycling, and Wang Chen, a very young scientist who was only 33 years old when he won the award.
Peng Yang,an award-winning professor at Shaanxi Normal University, cleverly designed protein materials through amyloid aggregation so that they can harmlessly adhere to plant epidermis or the surface of synthetic materials,
thus playing roles such as adsorption, oil resistance, and antibacterial. Zhao Yixin, the winner, is one of the earliest pioneers of perovskite photovoltaic research in China.
He set up a perovskite photovoltaic research team in China to study the key chemical creation methods of perovskite photovoltaic material device manufacturing to achieve green, controllable and stable manufacturing of perovskite photovoltaic.
Long-term patience, "relay" support for green and low-carbon technological innovation
As early as 2017, Meituan launched the "Green Mountain Plan" to explore the key nodes of the green transformation of the industry, hoping to form an effective model covering the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and driving the co-governance of participants.
After the "carbon peak, carbon neutrality" and "3060 goal" were proposed, accelerating green and low-carbon transformation innovation has become a broad consensus. At the beginning of 2021,
Meituan invested 500 million yuan to set up the public welfare Qingshan Science and Technology Fund to fund the "Qingshan Science and Technology Award" and "Environmental science and Technology Innovation Demonstration Project".
Wang Pu Zhong said that innovation will not be achieved overnight, and it needs long-term investment and patient cultivation. Meituan has the patience for long-term investment, is willing to be the "paving stone" of scientific research,
and will support Qingshan Science and Technology Award for a long time to support outstanding young scientists, so that they can devote themselves to scientific research without hesitation and give play to greater innovation potential.
"I am very happy to see more and more companies like Meituan are willing to invest in supporting scientific research, and this kind of relay support will help us a lot." A lot of things from the initial theory to the formation of a prototype,
and then to the formation of application patents can be transformed, it is the support of many forces to achieve." Yang Peng said that future research plans are to further apply protein materials to food preservation, green packaging,
biomedicine and other industries. For example, the antibacterial and oil-resistant properties of the materials are used to give yogurt boxes, fruit and vegetable boxes, takeout lunch boxes and other packaging fresh-keeping, easy cleaning, non-sticky oil functions.
Wang Jinnan, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee of Population, Resources and Environment, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, chairman of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences,
honorary president of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, believes that the construction of a green low-carbon circular economy system is the basic solution to China's resources, environment and ecological problems,
and also the meaning of accelerating the formation of new quality productivity. The winners of the Qingshan Science and Technology Award are the tillers in the field of environmental protection for a long time, and will surely become the engine to promote the green development and new quality productivity of the industry.
