MACAO, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- The 2022 Macao International Environmental Cooperation Forum and Exhibition, the first carbon-neutral expo held in the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), opened here on Friday.
Hosted by the Macao SAR government, the three-day event focused on green development and China's "dual carbon" goal to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, attracting around 420 exhibitors online and offline.
Nearly 20 forums and meetings are also scheduled to take place.
Lei Wai Nong, secretary for economy and finance of the Macao SAR government, said at the opening ceremony that the exhibition fully played Macao's role as a platform linking China and other countries, contributing to the transfer of environmental protection technologies and sustainable development of various places.
Anhui Conch Cement Co., Ltd., a Chinese company mainly engaged in the production and sales of cement and commodity clinker, displayed technologies of carbon capture and purification as well as household garbage disposal.
The company said it hoped to introduce its advanced technologies and equipment to the international community and work with counterparts in the industry to jointly promote the development of green technologies and achieve the "dual carbon" goal as early as possible.
The event was first held in 2008. ■
