The China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City has recently made headlines with its innovative "zero energy emissions and zero carbon" building. This 135-square-meter space is a collaborative research project by State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Co and is equipped with 60 solar panels that can generate over 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This translates to saving approximately 8 metric tons of standard coal per year or reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions by around 20 tons.
The building also features a 40-kWh energy storage battery that can sustain its energy requirements for nearly two days in energy-saving mode. An intelligent energy router facilitates efficient energy transmission between the grid, solar panels, energy storage, and household appliances.
This pioneering space is just one example of the eco-friendly initiatives in the eco-city. The China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City is committed to sustainable development and is working to create a model for future eco-cities around the world.

A 135-square-meter building hardly seems enough to make an impact on global carbon emissions.
