to the sustainable development of China under the green transformation.

In the field of mobility, Evonik exhibited a comprehensive range of material solutions for electric vehicles and unveiled several new products for lithium-ion battery applications, three of which were world premieres
.
It is worth noting that the Nourybond® 392 lithium-ion battery adhesive and TEGO®Surten E 411/412 lithium-ion battery additives in the three world premieres are based on local research and development in China, which can effectively improve the safety and durability of lithium-ion batteries and meet the key needs of
the electric vehicle industry.
To further enhance its service and innovation capabilities, Evonik's first global lithium-ion battery center has recently opened in Shanghai
.
The center will focus on battery cathode and anode materials and separator materials, as well as electrode preparation technology, and will provide customized solutions
for the fast-growing lithium-ion battery industry.

In the field of medicine and health, Evonik has brought three new products for the first time in China, which are used in medical, pharmaceutical, cell culture and other fields
.
Among them, BiocellIC+ is a renewable biomaterial
fermented from natural high-purity cellulose.
The extremely fine, robust mesh structure and unique material properties make it suitable for a wide range of medical and pharmaceutical applications
, including wound repair and implants.

In the field of consumer goods, Evonik has released 8 new products, of which 3 are world premieres, 3 are Asian premieres and 2 are China premieres, suitable for consumer goods, automobiles, footwear, home improvement and other fields
.
Among them, TROGAMID® eCO is Evonik's latest high-purity microcrystalline high-performance polyamide optimized for the optical industry, which can be used in the production of high-end sunglasses, which is the first in
China.
Not only does the product use bio-recycled feedstocks, replacing fossil feedstocks, but it also uses only renewable energy in pelletizing production, reducing its life-cycle carbon footprint by 50%
compared to petrochemicals.

Released the first sustainable development practice report in China, and collaborated with industry partners to create a green future

On November 6, Evonik released the Evonik China Sustainability Practice Report for the first time at CIIE, presenting the company's latest sustainability achievements in China and seeking new cooperation opportunities to help the development of the domestic low-carbon circular economy and create a green future
.

The report highlights the resource-saving and environmentally friendly products and solutions that Evonik offers with local partners for markets and industries such as automotive, green manufacturing, renewable energy, construction, agriculture, healthcare and consumer applications, contributing to a more sustainable, healthier and more comfortable living environment
.
For example, in the field of wind power, Evonik offers isophorone diamine and pyrogenic silica to help wind turbine blades achieve the desired strength and toughness, and NUFLUX™ technology to extend the maintenance intervals of wind turbine gear oils; Related products have been widely adopted
by major wind power equipment manufacturers around the world.
In the field of animal farming, Evonik is cooperating with more than a dozen feed and breeding companies in China to actively promote the concept of low-protein diets; Its probiotic series product ® GutCare® helps to improve the growth performance of animals, and is environmentally friendly, is an ideal alternative to antibiotics used in feed, and has been used by more than a dozen feed production and breeding enterprises in China
.

To address the challenge of climate change, Evonik aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 25 percent by 2030 and to become climate-neutral for its own business by 2050
.
To this end, Evonik is actively taking a number of measures to reduce the environmental impact of
its production footprint.
Evonik China is currently working as a pioneer within the Group on several demonstration projects to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction through the introduction of a digital energy management system, the launch of the Evonik Greenhouse Gas Reduction Assessment Project, and
the use of renewable electricity.
In September this year, Evonik also participated in the first inter-provincial green power transaction of
East China Power Grid.

In addition, Evonik leverages its industry influence and works with suppliers and partners to increase transparency and sustainability
in the value chain.
For example, as a member of the Chemical Industry's Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative, Evonik actively promotes the local implementation of TfS initiatives to improve the sustainability performance
of local suppliers.
It is worth noting that in September this year, Evonik participated in the development of the TfS Product Carbon Footprint Guide, which will actively promote the global standardization
of carbon footprint calculation methods for chemical products.

Reached strategic cooperation with a number of enterprises to explore a new model of innovative and win-win cooperation

Thanks to the role of the four platforms of international procurement, investment promotion, people-to-people exchanges and open cooperation, Evonik completed the signing ceremony and reached cooperation with Sinochem (Zhejiang) Film Industry Development Co.
