During the keynote report session, renowned experts and scholars such as Academician Liu Jiaqi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor Le Huirong from Tsinghua University delivered insightful reports on topics including implementing the "dual carbon" strategy, exploring new green and low-carbon materials, and the coordinated governance of pollution reduction and carbon emission reduction. In the thematic speech session, industry experts and enterprise representatives from China and abroad focused on zero-carbon practices and shared successful experiences. Experts and leaders from the Certification Division of CEC (Beijing) Certification Co., Ltd., Wanjiang New Energy Co., Ltd., Tianjin Rockcheck Group, TÜV SÜD Group, and the Tiangang Yuncarbon Division of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd., engaged in in-depth discussions on scenario construction for zero-carbon factories, zero-carbon parks, zero-carbon energy, zero-carbon transportation, zero-carbon certification, and green finance, respectively.

The conference featured a "Flash Roadshow" segment. Companies including Chengfa Environment Co., Ltd., Shanxi Meijin Energy Co., Ltd., Hyperfusion Digital Technology Co., Ltd., LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and the Longzihu New Energy Laboratory showcased their latest technological achievements and innovative practices in the development and utilization of green and smart energy. During the roundtable forum, enterprise representatives from China Energy Investment Group Henan Electric Power Co., Ltd., Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd., CATL Zero Carbon Business Unit Region, and GCL Energy Technology Co., Ltd. of GCL Group engaged in in-depth discussions on the "Opportunities, Challenges, and Pathways for the Integration of Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence under the Zero-Carbon Background". These discussions provided practical insights for constructing a new type of power system and promoting the optimization and upgrading of the energy structure.

Multiple signing ceremonies were held during the conference. Among them, Industrial Bank and Huaxia Bank Zhengzhou Branch signed green finance cooperation agreements with the Henan Environmental Protection Federation, respectively, providing member units with credit lines totaling tens of billions of yuan to offer financial support for green and low-carbon projects. The Green, Low-Carbon, and Innovative Development Committee of the Henan Environmental Protection Federation signed zero-carbon solution cooperation agreements with Tianjin Rockcheck Group, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd., and others, to promote the implementation of a batch of key projects.

It is particularly noteworthy that a major innovative highlight of this conference was the introduction of a carbon neutrality plan, creating the first "Zero Carbon Conference" in Henan Province with a carbon inclusive nature. By accounting for the carbon emissions generated during the conference and adopting measures such as using green electricity, encouraging green travel, and purchasing carbon offsets to achieve carbon neutrality, the conference practically implemented the zero-carbon concept. CEC (Beijing) Certification Co., Ltd. presented the "Carbon Neutral Conference" certification certificate on-site. To extensively mobilize all sectors of society to participate in green and low-carbon actions, the conference organizing committee issued the "Green Central Plains, Low-Carbon Journey – Initiative to Actively Practice Green and Low-Carbon Production and Lifestyles", calling on the whole society to start from themselves and jointly contribute to building a beautiful Henan. The conference also held the launch ceremony for the "2026 Zero Carbon Central Plains Tour". The activity will go deep into counties (cities), districts, enterprises, parks, government agencies, campuses, and villages to carry out various forms of green and low-carbon publicity and practice, promoting the rooting of the zero-carbon concept.
