In article 21 of the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council on The Complete, Accurate and Comprehensive Implementation of the New Development Concept to Achieve Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality (September 22, 2021), it is proposed to strengthen the research and application of major green and low-carbon technologies and promote the research and development of aerogel and other new materials. The original text reads as follows:

"(21) Accelerating the research, development and dissemination of advanced and applicable technologies. In-depth research will be conducted on smart grid technologies that support large-scale and friendly grid connection of wind and solar power generation. Efforts will be made to tackle key problems, demonstrate and apply new energy storage technologies such as electrochemistry and compressed air to industrial applications. We will strengthen r&d, demonstration and large-scale application of key technologies for hydrogen energy production, storage and application. Energy-saving and low-carbon technologies such as energy cascade utilization in the park will be promoted. We will promote the development and application of aerogel and other new materials. We will promote the r&d, demonstration and industrial application of large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies. We will establish and improve a green and low-carbon technology evaluation and trading system and a scientific and technological innovation service platform."
