Personal carbon account, save you "green assets" for you

This version of illustration: Xiaoli

"Carbon reduction" is never far away from us. Low -carbon life is in daily life: take public transportation or riding bicycles, buy green appliances, order takeaway, do not choose one -time tableware, express electronic noodles ... These lows ... These lows Carbon behavior can be automatically recorded in personal carbon ledger through digitalization and obtain corresponding green points incentives. These green points can also be exchanged for green consumer coupons such as subway cards and cycling cards. Silver "has become a personal" green asset ".

"One -ton carbon one year" is a small carbon reduction target set up by Ms. Li in Fengtai District, Beijing. In the past two years, Ms. Li has not only saved a lot of gasoline fees such as walking, cycling, and bus subway, but also accumulated many personal "carbon points" that can be exchanged for various coupons.

"Usually go to work, I first turn on the APP walking navigation, walk 1 kilometer to the bus station, take the 300 bus to the Liuliqiao Station, then turn on the cycling navigation, ride 1.5 kilometers with shared bicycles and reaches the unit. For the calculation of displacement, I can get 0.3kg, 2.5kg, 0.4kg 'energy ball' separately, respectively. When accumulated to a certain amount, you can exchange ticket coupons, food coupons, taxi vouchers, etc. in the mall. "Ms. Li said "This kind of green, convenient, and fast travel method makes me more happy to practice the green life of zero carbon."

The Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission and the Beijing Ecological and Environment Bureau Union Gaode Map in September 2020 jointly launched the "MAAS Travel Green Movement City" operation. There have been more than one million users who have registered the environmental protection activities like Ms. Li. As of 3 as of 3 this year The cumulative monthly carbon reduction displacement is nearly 100,000 tons.

The "Research Progress of Research on Climate Change" sponsored by the National Climate Center showed that the carbon dioxide gas emissions caused by carbon dioxide caused by family life consumption in my country accounted for about 52%of my country's greenhouse gas emissions. "To achieve the" double carbon "goal, consumer carbon reduction can not be ignored. Green and low -carbon consumption must be used to form a virtuous circle and achieve high -quality economic development." Du Shaozhong, vice chairman of the China Environmental Protection Federation, called.

At present, Beijing, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other provinces and cities have established a carbon -benefit mechanism for personal consumption. Green transportation, garbage classification, green consumption and other fields involved in residents' lives. Many financial institutions have also tried to build a variety of personal carbon carbon In the account, the carbon reduction displacement is exchanged for coupons or physical income, and the carbon is gradually becoming a new style of green life.

Promote the establishment of a personal carbon ledger to make the carbon -Puhui new fashion of green life

How to achieve scientific statistics and accurate advancement of carbon emissions of life consumer carbon emissions? Du Shaozhong said that at the personal level, each green behavior was accumulated and recorded by the platform. Based on the unified standard quantity to carbon reduction, it forms a personal carbon ledger. Establishing a personal carbon ledger can scattered the public on the carbon reduction record records of green behaviors on various platforms, to provide a basis for the government to distribute green points, and to solve the problem of accurately distributed green points.

With the launch of the "2022 Beijing Green Life Season" on August 10 this year, Beijing Green Life Carbon Platform "Green Life Season" applet and Beijing "personal carbon ledger" were also officially launched. Under the guidance of the government, the platform sets up green low -carbon life and consumption emission reduction scenes around travel, catering, tourism, and new energy vehicles, smart homes, and finance. Summarize, establish a personal carbon ledger, give green points for individual emission reduction, and integrate many companies in different fields to participate in green points to consumption, and build a carbon emission reduction incentives for all citizens "easy participation, measurement, fast points, fast benefits" incentives "incentives" incentives "incentives". Models advocate green and low -carbon life. Users can check their points on this applet at any time, and receive emission reduction certificates or redeem gifts; participating companies can also view the emission reduction contribution to the user on the corporate platform to form a carbon ledger for the enterprise. Du Shaozhong said, "This carbon inclusive platform and personal carbon ledger in Beijing have important demonstration significance."

Jiang Nanqing, Secretary -General of the Green Cycle Special Committee of the China Environmental Protection Federation, believes that personal carbon ledger can be used as a green asset of the future personal. Promotion, and the market -oriented operation of carbon reduction displacement. At the same time, the cloud platform can form a corporate carbon ledger through personal carbon ledger, and to form urban carbon ledger at the space level, and promote the formation of green low -carbon and sustainable development of society.

Carbon is a voluntary emission reduction mechanism for citizen families and personal low -carbon life and consumption fields. It is an important mechanism innovation that implements the concept of green development in my country and realizes carbon peaks, carbon neutrality and goals. At present, different forms of carbon -and -benefit innovation practice has been carried out in many provinces in the country. On April 22 this year, Sichuan United Environment Exchange, Guangzhou Carbon Emissions Exchange Center, Shanghai Environment Energy Exchange, Beijing Green Exchange, Tianjin emission rights rights The exchanges, Hubei Carbon Emissions Exchange Center, Straits Resources and Environment Exchange Center, Chongqing United Property Exchange, and Shenzhen Evolution Rights Exchange 9 national -level carbon emission right trading platform jointly launched the "common mechanism of carbon and benefit". At the same time, the application scenarios of carbon -Puchao, which are participating in the people, also have many beneficial explorations nationwide.

On April 27 this year, the "Jiangxi Low -Carbon Life" instructed by the Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission was officially launched. "Low -carbon life" in various fields such as clothing, food, housing, use, and behavior of residents could accumulate carbon points. , Exchange of various preferential rights. In March of this year, "Zhejiang Carbon Puhui" was officially launched in the "Zheli Office". As of now, online registered users have exceeded 100,000. In February this year, the Shanghai Ecological Environment Bureau established a carbon -Puchai platform to explore the establishment of a regional personal carbon account. In December last year, the Shenzhen Municipal Government and Tencent jointly launched the "Low -Carbon Planet" applets. The number of independent users has reached 870,000 in 3 months ... In the past two years, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other provinces and cities in China have Established a carbon -based mechanism for personal consumption, involving green transportation, garbage classification, green consumption and other fields. People can accumulate low -carbon behaviors such as green travel, green medical treatment, environmental protection recycling, green consumption, online processing, etc. Carbon points for various discounts or income, carbon and benefits have gradually become a new trend of green environmental protection.

Personal carbon account, the benefits of green low -carbon life can be visible and touched

For individuals, how to truly carry out carbon reduction and effectively record the carbon reduction in life has always been a difficult problem. The author sorted out and found that the carbon related documents published in various places mentioned personal carbon accounts. Zhang Jianhong, a senior engineer of China International Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., said, "Building a personal carbon account can promote the formation of green consumption awareness, increase the willingness to participate in the people, practice the green lifestyle, and help the transformation of society and economy to green low -carbon."

Personal carbon account, that is, carbon emissions storage, offsetting, and transaction carrier. At present, there are three main categories of personal carbon accounts in my country:

The first is the government -led or government -based carbon -woven platform, such as "Guangdong Carbon Puhui", "Carbon Whitening", "Xining Carbon Points" and so on.

Second, the individual carbon account led by enterprises or the enterprise as the main body is mostly e -commerce platforms. For example, the personal carbon account of Alibaba Ant Forest can realize personal carbon emissions storage and welfare exchange. Ms. Li said: "Open my ant forest, you can see that the page shows that there are now 50237g green energy. These energy are accumulated through daily walking, subway travel, and online payment of hydropower coal. Regional planting trees, I have grown 8 trees now. "The" 88 carbon account "released by Alibaba on August 8 this year, in the form of" 1+N "mother and child account, brought together users who are hungry, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, Carbon reduction generated on platforms such as leisure fish, Tmall. Hungry Data also shows that on the "E -point carbon" platform of consumers in the takeaway industry, as of June this year, over 12 million users have carbon points, and the platform has sent about 1.1 billion orders without tableware, carbon reduction contracts have been reduced, carbon reduction contracts 58,000 tons.

The third category is a variety of "personal carbon accounts" set up by various local financial institutions. For example, Zhejiang Luzhou is the first region that the nation ’s self -carbon account has been established. Data from the People's Bank of China Luzhou Central Branch show that as of May this year, 2.39 million households have established personal carbon accounts. Everyone in the local area has a carbon account. CITIC Bank launched the first personal carbon Puhui platform "CITIC Carbon Account" led by domestic banks, allowing users to measure the green and low -carbon behavior of the user, and asset and value the personal carbon emission reduction data. The personal carbon account platform "C Post" launched by the Postal Savings Bank Hunan Branch can record 20 green behaviors such as walking, bus, subway, digital RMB, online loans, green delivery, green e -commerce and automatically account for carbon energy value. The personal carbon account platform "Low Carbon Home" launched by Ping An Bank can calculate personal carbon reduction displacement through the measurement method provided by Shanghai Environmental Energy Exchange. The personal "carbon account" launched by Xinjiang Kunlun Bank has 150,000 Caramay citizens generated accounts and accumulated carbon points. Shandong Rizhao Bank launched the "Personal Carbon Account Platform" in March this year. It is expected that the personal carbon account will be opened at the end of the year. The annual reduction of carbon emissions will reach 100,000 tons ...

Guo Jifu, Dean of the Beijing Institute of Transportation Development, said that there is no rigid agreed citizen's emission reduction at present, but personal carbon accounts are the general trend. It can effectively affect personal behavior. The consumption of high -carbon products has decreased, and the production side is forced to actively transform to reduce carbon production.

Personal carbon account blossoms, and the personal carbon emission reduction mechanism still needs to be systematized and standardized

Carbon will bloom more in the country, and personal carbon accounts are full of flowers, and there are inevitably many problems. "At present, the same carbon reduction behavior of the same resident can obtain the carbon emission reduction income of multiple platforms at the same time, and there is a problem of repeated calculation of carbon reduction. The benefits are different. For example, taking a bus in Beijing for 1 km is different from the carbon emission reduction income obtained by walking in Shenzhen. "Zhou Caihua, an expert focusing on the research of carbon measurement research, pointed out that" the establishment of the carbon -to -benefit trading market mechanism is the most The important thing is that there is a unified standard that can be circulated and exchanged for carbon reduction displacement. In the future, the carbon -Puchai mechanism should further improve the top -level design, standardize the calculation of the carbon reduction displacement, and build a unified platform for the underlying data of the carbon -to -benefit mechanism, and comprehensively comprehensively Improve the carbon -based mechanism system and realize the deep integration of green finance, personal carbon accounts, carbon markets, etc. "

Chai Qimin, director of the Strategic Planning Department of the National Climate Strategy Center, believes that it is necessary to pay attention to the sustainability of personal carbon reduction, and further consider the incentive effect and diversification of personal carbon and benefit.Link.Chang Jiwen, deputy director of the Resources and Environmental Policy Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council, believes that personal carbon accounts need to be combined with family carbon accounts and total carbon emissions.Traffic and low -carbon smart cities are considered in the middle of the market.At the same time, personal carbon accounts also need the participation and support of social platforms such as the Internet to provide users with rich scenarios for carbon reduction.Chang Jiwen said: "The implementation of personal carbon accounts at the national level is currently not too successful in the world. If the carbon reduction mechanism in my country is systematized, it can lead the world from the green consumer lifestyle."
