THE World Expo will boost the concept of ecology and environmental protection and stimulate scientific research and technology development, officials from Shanghai Science and Technology Commission said yesterday.
And they said the green and cutting-edge technologies used or showcased at the Expo would be widely introduced into real life.
New technologies such as a TD-LTE (time division-long term evolution), which is 40 times faster than any existing 3G network, the use of new energy vehicles and LED (light emitting diode) technology are expected to be widely adopted after their successful use at the Expo.
Since most Expo pavilions are temporary constructions, many of them have been built using environmental friendly materials that can be recycled after they are dismantled.
Some 200,000 lights - 80 percent of night lighting inside the Expo site - use LED technology and the adoption of solar energy, energy-saving technology and river water cooling systems results in zero vehicle exhaust emissions and a 30-percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions inside the Expo zone, officials said.
