● Building-related emissions account for more than half of the country’s total carbon emissions, and the government is implementing stricter energy consumption targets.
● Covestro’s polyurethane solutions support the sustainable transformation of the construction industry
● Join forces with Pudong Development Group and Lujiazui Group to promote the widespread application of innovative solutions
The carbon emissions of the construction industry have exceeded half of China’s total carbon emissions, and relevant national energy consumption targets are becoming increasingly strict. Against this background, Covestro reached an agreement with Shanghai Pudong Development (Group) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Lujiazui (Group) Co., Ltd. as well as other value chain partners during the 6th China International Import Expo to jointly promote sustainable development. , the widespread use of energy-efficient building solutions, thereby helping China achieve its ambitious climate goals. These strategic collaborations will fully leverage Covestro’s material expertise, especially in the field of polyurethanes.
As the inventor of polyurethane, Covestro provides a series of thermal insulation solutions with outstanding thermal insulation and weather resistance, which have been widely used in refrigerators and refrigeration and other fields. With the development of ultra-low energy consumption buildings, polyurethane materials are increasingly favored by the construction industry and become the key to improving energy efficiency.
Dr. Markus, CEO of Covestro
Steilemann said at the signing ceremony: “With the vision of realizing a circular economy, Covestro is committed to helping customers and various downstream industries achieve carbon neutrality through material innovation. The construction industry, especially China’s construction industry, is committed to achieving this mission. A key part. We expect these innovative partnerships will accelerate the promotion and application of eco-friendly building solutions in China and play a vital role in mitigating climate change.”
As part of the agreement, Covestro will work with Shanghai Pudong Development Group and Cloti, an innovative company in the field of building insulation, to develop and promote a new polyurethane exterior wall insulation system. The solution is called a carbon-optimized composite insulation structure integrated system. It consists of a polyurethane insulation layer with low thermal conductivity, a lightweight non-combustible layer and composite tie bars. It achieves higher insulation efficiency by avoiding cold bridges and is more efficient than traditional insulation systems. Thinner and lighter. All parties will fully demonstrate the energy-saving performance, safety and economy of the system. Pudong Development Group will rely on its advantages and experience in regional development and promote the pilot and application of this polyurethane insulation system in its development projects on the basis of complying with laws, regulations and project bidding requirements.
Li Junlan, Chairman of Pudong Development Group, said: “We look forward to cooperating with sustainable materials expert Covestro to promote this innovative solution, which is also expected to set a new benchmark for the industry. We believe this cooperation will promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and promote low-cost High-quality carbon development will help the country achieve its dual carbon goals.”
In addition, Covestro has reached a cooperation agreement with Lujiazui Group and Deyilong, a Chinese manufacturer of composite door and window profiles. The three parties will be committed to developing and launching a new low-carbon energy-saving door and window that can meet Shanghai’s ultra-low energy consumption building requirements. The system will use Covestro’s Bydo® polyurethane composite material. The material has obvious advantages in thermal insulation performance, mechanical strength and durability, and can realize thinner energy-saving door and window systems, making the doors and windows more beautiful and transparent.
Xu Erjin, Chairman of Lujiazui Group, said: “Covestro has widely recognized and rich experience in the field of high-efficiency thermal insulation door and window materials. We very much look forward to cooperating with Covestro. Lujiazui Group will leverage its regional development advantages in Pudong and actively promote new The application of low-carbon and energy-saving door and window systems will further enhance the energy efficiency level of the industry.”
Lei Huanli, President of Covestro China, said: “I am very happy to connect with high-quality Chinese developers through the CIIE. We will actively promote the implementation of green and low-carbon solutions and increase the market penetration of related building energy-saving systems. Thereby contributing to the development of China’s construction industry and its dual-carbon goals. We believe that this market has broad prospects and a bright future.”
