Carbon energy has contributed to the creation of human civilization, and it can be considered that the configuration of the carbon energy system is one of the important laws that govern the operation of everything in the universe. The core of the carbon energy system is the opposition and unity of two aspects: oxidation and reduction. The operation of oxidation and reduction is based on the ternary elemental system composed of the three elements of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Its operation produces numerous reactions and reaction products. Ancient Chinese philosophy helps us to understand in depth the essence of green carbon science, to explore its scientific basis, and to identify the related platforms for technology development.
碳能源为人类文明的创建做出了贡献，可以认为碳能源系统的构成是支配宇宙万物运行的重要规律之一。碳能源系统的核心是氧化与还原两个方面的对立统一。氧化与还原的运行基于由碳、氢、氧三种元素组成的三元元素体系。其运行产生众多反应及反应产物。中国古代哲学有助于我们深入理解绿色碳科学的本质，探索其科学依据，并确定相关技术发展平台。
