In today's digital era, the computational capacity derived from information technology infrastructure stands as a key driver of technological innovation and societal progress. However, it is essential to recognize the escalating energy demands associated with these facilities. Consequently, the gradual displacement of prevailing fossil fuel-driven sources that power global computations becomes imperative for comprehensive carbon mitigation. This endeavor, however, poses a formidable challenge. 

 "The widespread adoption and integration of renewable energy across various industries are pivotal catalysts for achieving an effective energy transition. Effectively steering applications in various sectors remains a critical challenge. BCI Group emerges as an innovative enterprise dedicated to cross-sector energy transformation. Their commitment lies in establishing a next-generation information technology infrastructure platform intricately powered by renewable energy sources.” 

 “Climate Group greatly appreciates collaboration with BCI Group and it’s CEO Alex Ju to collectively champion a globally orchestrated, green transition encompassing computational power and energy systems," said Yuming Hui, the Executive Director of Climate Group China.  

“In today's world, technological advancements and carbon reduction processes are two major themes driving societal development. Energy, a common foundational driver for both, plays a crucial role in achieving cross-system transformation. The integration of computing power with energy holds limitless opportunities for both the energy and computing industries.” said Alex Ju, BCI Group’s Founder & CEO, and Advisor of Cross Sector Energy Transformation, Climate Group 

As a pivotal driver of global economic development, China plays a decisive role in worldwide carbon reduction efforts, particularly evident in the realm of renewable energy.
