The 2024 APEC Business Leaders Summit in Lima, Peru, saw the participation of Li Zhenguo, the founder and president of LONGi Green Energy, where discussions centered on energy transition and mining decarbonization. Li emphasized the critical role of photovoltaic technology in global energy transformation and achieving carbon neutrality, with over 150 countries committing to 'carbon neutrality' goals to combat climate change. Photovoltaic technology advancements have led to significant cost reductions and efficiency improvements, making it the backbone of energy transformation. LONGi, a leading solar technology company, has spearheaded efforts to increase solar cell efficiency and drive down costs. Li predicts that within 5 to 8 years, mass-produced photovoltaic technology with over 30% conversion efficiency could result in power generation costs below 1 cent per degree. Additionally, he highlighted the potential for producing green hydrogen at decreasing costs through electrolysis using green electricity. Li also underscored the importance of green practices in the mining industry, particularly in copper mining, to reduce the carbon footprint of photovoltaic modules. The summit focused on advancing economic cooperation among APEC member economies and promoting sustainable development. Li's advocacy for green energy technologies and environmentally friendly mining practices reflects a positive sentiment towards a more sustainable energy future.
