The rise of green computing power is not only an inevitable trend in technological evolution, but also an important path to achieving the "dual carbon" goal. At present, the total scale of computing power in China has steadily ranked among the top in the world, and the green and low-carbon characteristics are increasingly prominent. The iterative upgrading of computing equipment, continuous optimization of energy structure, and accelerated coordination between computing and application have led to a rapid growth in the total scale of computing power, which is continuously injecting strong momentum into high-quality development. The green and low-carbon characteristics of the computing industry highlight the continuous improvement of the overall efficiency of computing equipment in China. The green development characteristics of computing infrastructure are significant, and the power consumption of single data center racks continues to decrease. Green computing has been deeply integrated into fields such as energy, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and construction. At the recently held 2025 Green Computing (Artificial Intelligence) Conference, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology released the "Research Report on the Development of Green Computing (2025)", which showed that the total scale of computing power in China has grown at an average rate of nearly 30% in the past five years, and by the end of 2024, the total scale of computing power will reach 280 EFLOPS, ranking among the top in the world. The computing power industry has distinct characteristics of green and low-carbon development. Wang Zhiqin, Vice President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, introduced that in terms of the greening of computing power equipment, China has promoted the integrated innovation of process architecture for high-performance chips through collaborative efforts, focusing on advanced storage, storage and computing technologies, deploying high-density integrated IT equipment and liquid cooling systems on a large scale, and systematically improving the computing and storage efficiency of computing power equipment. Wang Zhiqin said that in terms of the greening of computing power carriers, by the end of 2024, the total scale of data center racks in use in China will exceed 9 million standard racks, and technologies such as liquid cooling, integrated computing, heating, and carbon, prefabricated modularization, and intelligent operation and maintenance will be widely applied to promote the entire life cycle of data center design, construction, and operation and maintenance. China actively promotes the direct supply of green electricity, green electricity and green certificate trading, adopts advanced models such as energy storage and microgrids, and builds comprehensive energy computing power collaborative dispatch systems to promote the coordinated development of computing power. The utilization rate of green electricity in some advanced data centers has reached about 80%. ”Wang Zhiqin said. Wang Zhiqin stated that in terms of collaborative green computing, green computing power has been deeply integrated into industries such as energy, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and construction. Currently, the cloud coverage rate of central enterprises exceeds 86%, effectively assisting traditional industries in achieving their goals of "cloud computing, data empowerment," and energy conservation and emission reduction. As early as May 2021, China launched the construction of a national hub node for the integrated computing power network, accelerating the implementation of the "East West Computing" project. At the beginning of 2022, all 8 national computing power hub nodes in China were approved, and 10 national data center clusters were planned to be established, and the "East Data West Computing" project was fully launched. The green and low-carbon development of the computing industry is a microcosm of China's high-quality promotion of the "East West Calculation" project. Zhang Hao, Director of the Network and IT Technology Research Institute of China Mobile Research Institute, said that the "East Data West Computing" project has built a nationwide integrated computing power network layout, taking into account the overall layout of China's data centers and the national and regional energy, climate, economic development, network bandwidth and other situations, promoting efficient matching between the supply of computing power resources at national hub nodes and the demand for computing power in various regions, and releasing the "multiplier effect" of coordinated regional development of the digital economy. Exploring the construction of a green computing power full industry chain. With the comprehensive promotion of the "East West Computing" project, various regions are constantly exploring and relying on strong green computing power to promote innovative breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence "full ecology", and using green computing power practice to promote high-quality development. In recent years, Inner Mongolia, which ranks first in the country in terms of new energy generation, has vigorously promoted the development of the entire industry chain of green computing power by leveraging its abundant wind and solar new energy resources and the policy advantages of the "East Data West Computing" project hub. In the first quarter of this year, the proportion of green electricity usage in data centers within the Inner Mongolia hub node and Ling'er data center cluster reached 84.57%, leading the country. In 2024, the cumulative installed capacity of new energy in Inner Mongolia will exceed 135 million kilowatts, and multiple indicators such as total installed capacity, new installed capacity, and power generation of new energy will remain at the top of the country. ”Zhang Lei, Director of the Digital Economy Development Department of Inner Mongolia Government Service and Data Management Bureau, said that Inner Mongolia fully leverages the advantages of green power supply, increases the proportion of green power in data centers through direct green power supply and grid based energy storage, and builds a national green computing power guarantee base and large model training and reasoning base. Entering the refrigeration station of China Mobile Intelligent Computing Center (Hohhot), the largest single intelligent computing center among global operators, the cooling system runs at high speed in the spacious factory building. The center is building a green computing power system from three aspects: green electricity, refrigeration, and energy consumption management, "said Yang Xu, Deputy General Manager of China Mobile Hohhot Data Center." The center's green electricity usage ratio is 80%, saving 95000 tons of water annually and 860000 yuan in water costs. "Inner Mongolia's green computing industry not only has clean energy, but also has established a full process low-carbon system, strictly controlling the energy consumption of newly built data centers. The ultra fusion all liquid cooled server produced by Inner Mongolia Baichuan Digital Technology Co., Ltd. in Helingeer New District, Hohhot City has a refrigeration energy utilization efficiency as low as 1.06, effectively reducing data center energy consumption from the source. Feng Yongcheng, the head of the Intelligent Computing Center in Ulanqab City, said that the center recovers the heat generated by the computer room for heating, and there is no need to pay heating fees throughout the winter. Every year, 78000 gigajoules of waste heat can be recovered, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 7380 tons. As of the first quarter of this year, Inner Mongolia's computing power scale reached 126000 P, of which the intelligent computing power scale was 116000 P, ranking first in the country. Zhang Lei said that Inner Mongolia has made innovative breakthroughs in the "full ecosystem" of artificial intelligence, deeply cultivated the model training market, and launched training on general large models such as Telecom Star, Mobile Jiutian, Unicom Yuanjing, Huawei Pangu, and iFlytek Spark, with training parameters exceeding one trillion yuan. At the same time, the entire region has accelerated the deployment of DeepSeek large models in the government and commercial fields. Continuously promoting the matching of industrial supply and demand as an important engine driving the digital economy, green economy, and new quality productivity has broad prospects for the development of green computing power. With the deepening of the "East Digital West Computing" project, promoting the matching between green computing power supply and application scenario demand has become a future development focus. The eight major hub centers can form strong alliances and complement each other's advantages. Starting from the needs of application scenarios, the major hub centers can collaborate with each other. ”Li Donghong, Vice Dean of the Global Industry Research Institute at Tsinghua University, believes that there are still issues of regional and industry segmentation in the construction of computing power. It is necessary to leverage the synergy of the eight major computing power centers to form a nationwide network system for computing power supply, and promote the matching between various application scenarios and demands through an integrated network. The research report on the green computing power index of the "East Data West Computing" hub node shows that with the continuous expansion and enrichment of application scenarios, the collaborative industrial cluster effect of computing and application is significant. Differentiated and precise policy tools such as energy consumption single column, computing power vouchers, green electricity guarantee, and land and electricity preferential policies have played an irreplaceable role in reducing enterprise costs, guiding industrial layout, and accelerating cluster formation. The cloud computing base in Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province supports the development of Internet, government affairs, finance, manufacturing, education and other fields. As of June 2025, the cloud adoption rate of enterprises in this area has reached 19.3%, with 6 application service platforms. At the same time, the area has established a computing power and artificial intelligence related industry fund, innovated the "computing power voucher" supply mechanism, formulated incentive measures for enterprises using intelligent computing services, lowered the threshold for computing power usage, accelerated the consumption of computing power resources and data circulation. To promote the development of green computing power industry, Li Donghong suggests accelerating the integration of computing storage networks and steadily improving computing efficiency; Promote the application of emerging energy-saving products, and make multiple efforts to promote energy efficiency improvement. Local governments should strictly control the construction of low efficiency data centers with low-end services, outdated technology, and unclear business needs, and promote the comprehensive achievement of high-performance computing system energy efficiency level 2 or above standards for computing power centers in the region; Enhance the proportion of green energy consumption and create a benchmark demonstration for computing collaboration; Deepen the support for empowering computing power, create a benchmark demonstration for collaborative computing, fully tap into the innovative application potential of green computing power, create a technologically advanced digital application service platform, and promote the deep integration of enterprises into the cloud.
