Throughout the year, we filed for over 10,000 patents with more than 6,000 granted. Five patents, including "Multi-Tube Ethylene Cracking Furnace", received the China Patent Prize. Four projects, such as "Salt-Resistant and High-Temperature Drilling Fluid Technology" and "Biomass Ethanol to Ethylbenzene Technology", were honored with the Gold Medals at the 48th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions. We maintained the top position in the patent quality ranking of central enterprises for five consecutive years. As one of the first three pilot entities in China, we led the way in completing the assessment of our innovation and intellectual property management capabilities, becoming the first entity in China to receive a "system-level" rating. Progress on the construction of the national green energy and chemical industry intellectual property operation center was steadily advancing.
