Materials research and low-carbon economy Class: Student: Number: Background of low-carbon economy Low-carbon economy is put forward on the background that global warming has become severe challenges to human survival and development. With the development of global population and economy, the environmental problems caused by the use of energy has been recognized , not only the smoke, photochemical smog and acid rain, but also the carbon dioxide in the air. The 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference has been convened, which sets off a global low-carbon trend. In this context , there come a series of new concepts and new policies ,such as “low-carbon footprint” “low-carbon economy” “low-carbon technique ” “low-carbon development” “low-carbon lifestyle” “low-carbon society” “low-carbon city” and “low-carbon world”. The values change of energy and economy results of a new way of ecological civilization , and that is abandoning the tradition growth model of the 20th century, directly applying the innovative technology and innovation system of the new century, , through the combination of low carbon economy mode and a low-carbon lifestyle, to achieve sustainable social development. Material research plays a vital role in low-carbon economy. The essence of low-carbon economy is efficient use of energy, clean energy development, the pursuit of green GDP, the innovation of emission reduction technology, energy technology, industrial structure and institution and fundamental shift of concept of human survival and development. Energy change is the core of low-carbon economy, it involves a wide range of industries and fields, including low-carbon products, low-carbon technologies, low-carbon energy development and utilization. Technically, a low carbon economy involves electricity, transportation, construction, metallurgy, chemical industry, petrochemical industries, as well as clean and efficient use of renewable energy, new ener
