At the 2025 Tengchong Forum, Wang Jianqiang, the chairman of Sino-Platinum Metals Co., Ltd., emphasized the significant role of precious metals in advancing green technology and facilitating low-carbon development. His insights highlighted the transformative impact of these elements as they become increasingly integral to various scientific and technological advancements.

Wang elaborated on how rapidly evolving sectors such as artificial intelligence, next-generation semiconductors, hydrogen energy, and fusion are driving a growing demand for sophisticated precious metal materials. He pointed out that AI-enhanced research is effectively shortening development cycles and reducing costs, which accelerates progress in areas like catalytic technologies, chip packaging materials, and crucial components for future energy systems.

Delving deeper into the sustainability aspect, Wang highlighted the pivotal role that precious metals fulfill in green and low-carbon initiatives. Applications in automotive exhaust purification, hydrogen production, and fuel cells are particularly noteworthy, as they align with broader environmental objectives.

He stressed that the recycling of precious metals is a key strategy in reducing carbon emissions, especially when compared to conventional mining practices. This embrace of recycling not only presents a more sustainable approach but also plays an essential role in meeting dual-carbon targets.

The Tengchong Scientists Forum, slated to occur from December 5 to 7 in Yunnan Province, southwest China, carries the theme 'Science and AI Changing the World.' This three-day event is designed to foster enhanced international collaboration and exchange focused on scientific innovation.
