It is understood that Ordos is committed to transforming itself into a national carbon neutral industry development demonstration city – and in so doing, contributing to the country's carbon peak and cargo neutrality targets.

To achieve these goals, Ordos acting mayor Du Huiliang declared at the institute's nameplate unveiling ceremony on Sept 7 that his city would strengthen the supply of green and low-carbon technologies, increase the momentum towards green and low-carbon industries, establish a green and low-carbon energy system, as well as improve the efficiency of green and low-carbon governance.
