The 29th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) was held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22.

 

On November 13, BCI Group was invited to participate in a series of official UN high-level events at COP29.

 

Mr. Ju Jing, Global Advisor on Cross-System Energy Transition at The Climate Group, called at the high-level dialogue for the global computing infrastructure industry to recognize the huge carbon emissions driven by the beyond-Moore’s Law growth of computing power.

 

He urged all parties to leverage their respective strengths to jointly advance the deep global integration of green energy across the upstream and downstream of the computing infrastructure industrial chain, and to cherish limited critical resources such as land and water, in order to build a green and sustainable infrastructure platform for the expansion of computing power.

 

Ms. Helen Clarkson, Chief Executive Officer of The Climate Group, delivered a speech commending BCI Group for its active role in addressing global climate change.

 

She looked forward to continuing to work with Mr. Ju Jing and BCI Group to advance the cross-sector green transition of computing infrastructure through the COP platform.

 
Through the COP29 platform, BCI Group showcased to the world the holistic solution from Datong, China, featuring cross-sector vertical integration of computing infrastructure in energy, industrial parks and equipment.
 
Over the past two years, working with relevant partners, BCI Group has promoted cross-industry integration and technological innovation for computing infrastructure in Datong, and has initially built core capabilities to deliver globally replicable solutions through the cross-industry model of “Energy + Parks + Equipment + Computing Power”:
 

In energy, BCI Group has developed renewable energy and energy storage projects with a total scale of nearly 900 MW, accumulating extensive experience in energy development.

 

By integrating land and water resources, it has formed a “zero-carbon zone” within the Super Energy Complex, where the full industrial chain is deployed in a single region.

 
In industrial parks, BCI Group has completed the capping of the first 100% prefabricated main building for computing infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific infrastructure sector, which will be put into operation in the first half of 2025.
 
In equipment manufacturing, BCI Group has set up production centers for electromechanical, IT, temperature control and flexible manufacturing within the Super Energy Complex, realizing “containerized” equipment production that enables global deployment via China-Europe rail and ocean transportation.
 
 

By delivering its core capabilities in Advanced Energy + Advanced Parks + Advanced Equipment + Advanced Computing, BCI Group is able to dive deep into the “deep-water zone” of the computing infrastructure industry’s transformation.

 

It aims to break industrial barriers and global constraints, address the urgent demands of energy growth, supply chain innovation and equipment upgrading driven by AI-enabled computing, and explore a development path for computing infrastructure that is green, open and inclusive.
