Belém, Brazil, November 12 (Local Time) – Mr. Ju Jing, Founder and CEO of BCI Group, was invited to deliver a keynote speech at a high-level meeting of the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30). Addressing the theme of "Advancing Green Innovation Cooperation," he shared with the global industrial and climate governance communities the "Datong Model of Vertical Integration" from China. He elaborated on the critical role of vertically integrating the entire industrial chain of computing power infrastructure in driving the sector's green transition. Through seven years of persistent, ground-up effort, BCI Group has pioneered the world's first vertically integrated computing power infrastructure industrial cluster in Datong, China, achieving a commercial closed loop.

Mr. Ju stated that computing power infrastructure represents the core foundation where the two key global drivers of development—energy and computing—converge. With the new wave of computing technology revolution advancing at a pace surpassing Moore's Law, the spatial distribution of energy use, patterns of energy consumption, and innovation capacities within computing infrastructure are all undergoing restructuring. The synergistic development of energy and computing now unprecedentedly requires industrial vertical integration, commercial strategic exploration, and alignment with policy adjustments.

 

Since its establishment in 2022, and even earlier since its founding team deployed the first computing power infrastructure cluster in Datong in 2018, BCI Group has consistently and steadfastly promoted a vertically integrated ecosystem for computing infrastructure. Extending from digital infrastructure as the core to both upstream and downstream industries, it aggregates comprehensive capabilities across energy, campuses, equipment, and networks. The group is committed to delivering digital infrastructure that is low-cost, accessible, highly stable, and low-emission, achieving synergistic integration with the locality, efficient resource allocation, and multi-stakeholder benefits.

 

Regarding strategic energy layout, BCI Group has deployed multiple Super Energy Complex green computing power infrastructure clusters across different regions in Datong, China, all within 150 kilometers of Beijing. Each computing campus is standardly equipped with large-scale wind, solar, transmission, and storage facilities within a 20-kilometer radius. Through substantial reserves of land, buildings, substations, and other hyperscale resources, it forms a multi-dimensional support system encompassing all elements of the vertical industrial capability ecosystem.

 

In terms of computing-power synergy architecture, BCI Group's current reserve scale for new energy development reaches 1.8 GW, developed primarily as hybrid wind-solar farms, supported by 700 MWh of centralized energy storage. Calculated over a 25-year project cycle, this total reserve can deliver 80 billion kWh of green electricity, contributing to a carbon reduction totaling 70 million tons. Taking BCI Group's Lingqiu Campus within the Datong Super Energy Complex as an example—Shanxi Province's first green power park dedicated to computing-power synergy—the computing campus is equipped with 300 MW of wind power, 200 MW of photovoltaic power, and 50MW/100MWh of user-side centralized storage. A dedicated direct green power connection architecture ensures 100% local consumption of green electricity by the computing facilities, enabling long-term, sustainable emission reduction.

 

In carbon reduction technology innovation, BCI Group actively explores waste heat recovery and CO2 heat pump technologies to capture high-value thermal energy. By integrating waste heat from computing campuses into municipal heating networks via heat pumps or exchangers, it supports residential heating, greenhouse agriculture, and other applications, allowing the computing infrastructure to give back to the local community. The group has also innovatively implemented large-scale surface water diversion projects, pioneering new water usage practices for Datong's computing industry and establishing an environmentally friendly water recycling system: "reservoir storage – primary treatment at public water plants – comprehensive treatment at campus water plants – secondary water supply to computing campuses."

 

Regarding industrial model aggregation, BCI Group fosters a long-term sustainable, new-generation computing power industrial cluster in Datong through a vertical ecosystem. This is built on developing segmented capabilities in areas such as massive green energy supply, hyperscale zero-carbon campus construction, prefabricated electromechanical equipment modules, and bare-metal high-resilience architecture. This approach has created over a thousand cross-chain composite industry professionals for the local computing infrastructure sector in Datong. Furthermore, through localizing financial, tax, and legal operations, it generates sustainable talent, capital, and industrial flows for Datong's computing power infrastructure industry.

 

Mr. Ju pointed out that BCI Group's Datong vertical integration model, honed over seven years, has formed a complete commercial closed loop through vertical integration in energy, computing, equipment manufacturing, and network channels. This transforms Datong's abundant resources for computing infrastructure development into a direct driver of local digital economic growth, aiding Datong's transition from a traditional resource-based city to an emerging green computing hub.

 

The development of digital civilization will profoundly shape the future. BCI Group will continue to uphold its vertically integrated model, deepening its commitment to urban industrial transformation. Together with global partners who share its vision, the group will explore vertical integration in developing countries and emerging computing cities worldwide, persistently advancing the global computing industry's participation in climate governance. It aims to ensure computing power infrastructure becomes a bridge to a better life and technological progress for humanity.
