BME Collaborates with University of Science and Technology Beijing: Charting a Green Future for the Industry and Driving Cutting-Edge Technological Innovation

On March 12, 2025, BME (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "BME") and the School of Environment and Energy at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) officially established the "Postdoctoral Joint Innovation Workstation," marking the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership.

This collaboration brings together USTB's cutting-edge research in pollution reduction, energy conservation, and carbon reduction for the metallurgical industry and BME's industrial advantages in artificial intelligence and big data technologies. Together, they will build an intelligent, low-carbon technological system to support the metallurgical industry's "dual-carbon" goals, propelling China's environmental protection industry into a new era of high-quality and intelligent development.

Innovative Synergy, Building a New Paradigm for Green Metallurgy

This partnership focuses on three core areas: scientific research, technology transfer, and talent development, creating a new model for deep industry-academia-research integration. During the launch ceremony, USTB's research team showcased its latest breakthroughs in metallurgical energy conservation and carbon reduction, while BME shared its advanced practices in intelligent metallurgical processes and carbon reduction technologies. Both parties agreed that furthering data-driven innovation in metallurgy, guided by the concept of "three-stream integration" (material flow, energy flow, and pollution flow), will be key to accelerating the industry's green transformation.

Xu Qian, Chairman of BME, stated:

> "The deep integration of industry, academia, and research will bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial application. We are committed to empowering the metallurgical industry with digital technology, building an efficient, intelligent, and sustainable industrial ecosystem amid the wave of green and low-carbon transformation."

The Dual-Carbon Era: Technology-Driven Green Transformation

The metallurgical industry is undergoing profound changes driven by the goals of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality," requiring both micro-level technological innovation and macro-level systemic optimization.

Xing Yi, Dean of the School of Energy and Environmental Engineering at USTB, emphasized:

> "The green and low-carbon development of the metallurgical industry requires a cross-level, multi-dimensional technical evaluation system to accelerate the transition from theoretical research to industrial application. Intelligent and digital innovations in metallurgical processes will become the industry's competitive edge in the future."

During the event, Dean Xing Yi visited BME's Innovation Center, where he highly praised the company's forward-looking initiatives in intelligent manufacturing, industrial digitization, and green manufacturing.

Strategic Planning: Securing Global Standard-Setting Authority in Metallurgy

The joint innovation workstation is not just a research collaboration but also a strategic move to advance the digital, intelligent, and green transformation of the metallurgical industry.

Guided by the "three-stream integration" framework, the two parties will focus on:

1. Multi-level intelligent optimization of metallurgical processes, driving comprehensive upgrades in green metallurgy;

2. Industrial-grade digital twin precision control, building visual, predictable, and executable intelligent systems;

3. Creating a comprehensive data platform, enabling end-to-end digital closed-loop processes from micro-level process optimization to macro-level industrial scheduling;

4. Developing replicable and scalable green manufacturing solutions, accelerating the industry's low-carbon transition.

The ultimate goals are to reduce industrial energy consumption, cut carbon emissions, optimize production costs, and secure global standard-setting authority in metallurgy, enhancing China's international competitiveness in green metallurgy.

Innovation Extends Beyond Technology to the Industry's Core Logic

This collaboration represents not only technological advancement but also a fundamental shift in industrial logic.

Moving forward, BME and USTB will deepen their integration of industry, academia, and research, using data to drive technological innovation and intelligence to empower green manufacturing. Together, they will propel China's metallurgical industry toward a greener, more advanced, and intelligent future!
