How far is the personal carbon account in the app in the APP?

"One -ton carbon one year" is a small carbon reduction target set by Beijing citizen Jia Feng.

In the past two years, Jia Feng has been commuting by cycling. In his opinion, this is a good thing: strengthen your body, save energy, save fuel and fuel, and green and low -carbon. In the past year, his mileage has accumulated more than 4,000 kilometers, so it saves more than 400 liters of fuel, oil money and parking fee of 4,400 yuan, and also saves 8,000 yuan for swimming fitness card handling. What's more, he achieved a small goal of "carbon reduction". According to statistics, China travels more than 6,000 kilometers per capita, carbon emissions is 1.09 tons, Japan is 1.55 tons, and the Netherlands is up to 2.79 tons. "In order to achieve the" Paris Agreement "temperature control target, it is necessary to greatly decline global carbon emissions by global travel by 2030. Choose a bicycle to travel without relying on the power structure adjustment. The zero -carbon dream of personal travel is just around the corner." As the chief expert of the Propaganda and Education Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, he has long been paying attention to the carbon reduction process at home and abroad for a long time, and strives to ride. With reference to the bicycle policy implemented by European countries, it will be subsidized and rewarded to car purchase and cycling behaviors. "In fact, if this reduction displacement is put in a personal carbon account, it may become" true "Gold and silver", and this is not a fantasy. Recently, many local governments and financial institutions have introduced personal carbon account policies. On July 1, Shanghai officially implemented the first green financial law, which mentioned that Shanghai will explore the establishment of regional personal carbon accounts and connect with the city's carbon -Puhui related platforms to encourage financial institutions Preferential financial products and services. Earlier, Beijing's "MAAS Travel" and Shenzhen "Carbon Promotion" applets have launched the policy of residents' carbon reduction incentives. In addition to the government, a number of commercial banks including CITIC Bank, SPDB, and Construction Bank also launched personal carbon accounts based on banking service scenarios. What is a personal carbon account? Why do you "bloom everywhere" at this time? What role does personal carbon account play in the "double carbon" process? Why is it hot from public welfare to trading personal carbon accounts? Carbon accounts include carbon emissions data collection, carbon accounting, and carbon emission grade evaluation. It is a complete set of carbon emission reduction support system. On July 16 last year, the national carbon emissions trading market was officially launched. Corporate carbon accounts have seen all reports, and when they talk about personal carbon accounts, the public is a little strange. "The essence of a personal carbon account is an inclusive mechanism. It is not to use personal carbon accounts to achieve direct emission reduction, but to provide rewards for personal green behavior. Reduce carbon emissions instead of directly controlling carbon emissions on the production side like carbon transactions. "Said Zhao Yue, assistant researcher at the Chongyang Financial Research Institute of Renmin University of China. In other words, personal carbon accounts are a positive guidance mechanism for individuals and families to save energy and reducing carbon reduction behaviors, and establish a combination of commercial incentives, policy encouragement, and certification emission reduction transactions. Although the personal carbon accounts of different subjects have different forms of personal carbon accounts, most of them are based on similar product logic: to form carbon points according to the diverse carbon reduction behavior of users, and give certain material or spiritual rewards. At present, Beijing is planning to build a new system for walking and bicycle green corridors- "Urban Wind Wheel". It uses the urban water system to have existing infrastructure, improve the facilities such as road surfaces, and realize 12 green corridors that run through the connection ring. The picture shows citizens riding on the Beijing Second Ring Roadway. The carbon reduction displacement can form carbon points in the corresponding personal carbon account. (Figure/Vision China) The ant forests that allow many Alipay users to collect "green energy" can be understood as a type of personal carbon account. Users obtain "green energy" through low -carbon behavior such as walking, subway travel, and online hydropower costs, and cultivate virtual trees on their mobile phones. Finally, the platform plants the next tree in the real world as a public welfare incentive for users. "Society's understanding of personal carbon emission reduction is still in the enlightenment stage, so the ant forest presented it through the virtual interactive gameplay such as 'green energy'." Said Wang Xiaoying, an expert in the development of ant forests. Since the beginning of this year, personal carbon accounts have become a boom. Not only do local governments provide policy support, but Internet platforms, financial systems, and third -party institutions are also paying attention to or participating in their respective ways. In Wang Xiaoying's view, the reason why personal carbon accounts are hot is the introduction and advocacy of the "double carbon" policy. After the "double carbon" target of 2020, the focus of carbon reduction and carbon reduction work first aimed at high energy -consuming enterprises occupying about 90 % of the country's carbon displacement. Enterprise subject. According to data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, as of the end of December 2021, the main body of the carbon market transaction covered 2162 power generation companies, covering the scale of about 4.5 billion tons/year, and the performance completion rate of the first performance period reached 99.5 %. In addition to the scope of the discharge enterprise, carbon reduction and carbon reduction of residents' lives and consumer terminals cannot be ignored. The carbon reduction behavior of the terminal consumers will eventually be transmitted to the production side and server, thereby forcing the supply side to transform and upgrade the supply side on technology, energy, materials and services, energy saving carbon reduction, and indirectly promote the realization of the "double carbon" goal. It is foreseeable that the personal carbon account, as the "green ledger" of the individual of residents, may become a new infrastructure of residents in the "double carbon" era, as well as important carbon reduction in the public.

However, this process is destined to have a long way to go. Where is the popularity of personal carbon accounts? In 2016, the G20 summit successfully closed in Hangzhou, and in the form of afforestation and the greenhouse gas generated by the summit, the Hangzhou Summit became the first "low -carbon" summit in the history of G20. In the same year, Ant Forest was launched. Now 6 years have passed, the gameplay of the ant forest "planting trees" has not changed. Wang Xiaoying personally experienced the process of more than 326 million real trees from the launch to planting. In his opinion, this public welfare project always uses "visible green" to drive the public to understand the "invisible green" of carbon emission reduction step by step. However, as of now, the incentive mechanism of "personal carbon reduction" provided by Ant Forest has not considered connection with the "carbon market". "Refer to the current price of about 50 yuan in one ton of carbon trading in the country in the country. Even if users can save one ton of carbon through various low -carbon behaviors for a year, and can enter the carbon market transaction, they can only benefit 50 yuan from the transaction. Money is actually not much effective for his incentives, "Wang Xiaoying said. Tao Lan, the chairman of the Green Puchao Carbon and Promotion Center, also holds the same view. She believes that the national carbon market's transaction method is only effective for large -scale control enterprises, but the feasibility of individual residents is not high. "Relevant departments issue quotas to the discharge enterprises based on the company's carbon emission data in the past three years. This method is If you do n’t do it for residents, you cannot distribute it on average. Residents' carbon reduction and carbon reduction should be more based on publicity and advocacy and broader social incentives. "This is the first" Kaner "that personal carbon accounts have popularized in a large scale: In response to the rapid promotion of policy supervision, it can only establish an incentive mechanism for positive guidance. Carbon reduction requires the user foundation. For personal carbon accounts that are still in the beginning of the exploration, there are still many shortcomings in practice: there is no corresponding system method for personal carbon accounts to open Carbon account points lack specific uniform standards; personal carbon accounts have not been accepted by the public in a small -scale pilot. As a result, the second "Kaner" of the popularity of personal carbon accounts has not been opened between each subject. From the perspective of the user level, the range of emission reduction scenes of different platforms is limited and separated from each other. The carbon reduction displacement obtained by users every day has to be scattered on different platforms. The user experience is poor and the rights obtained. From the perspective of operating subjects, most of the carbon promotion promotion in China is currently based on regions. Different cities have their own set of carbon points mechanisms, and they cannot be opened without coordination. For enterprises, most platforms are based on their own service scenarios and cannot achieve redeeming across platforms. The government wants to complete the local emission reduction tasks to mobilize the public carbon reduction; enterprises want to increase user stickiness while establishing a public welfare image. Due to different starting points and positioning between different subjects, the separation between each other is arisen. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a relatively unified standard, to open up different "islands" into a national unified market, and to achieve mutual recognition of the standards of various places and platforms based on common methodology. If this cannot be achieved, the personal carbon account cannot truly realize the "assets" attributes, and can only stay in the public welfare incentives and material rewards. "Most of the personal carbon accounts are currently in the pilot stage, and will give priority to realizing the access to the carbon reduction scenario of their own platform. To achieve richer service scenarios is the development direction of personal carbon account products, but this development process requires policy support for policy support Ecological collaboration. "The relevant person in charge of Tencent's" Low Carbon Planet "said. As the first authorized operation platform for Shenzhen Carbon Puhui, which was jointly created by the Shenzhen Ecological Environment Bureau, Shenzhen Evolution Right Exchange and Tencent, Tencent's "Low -Carbon Planet" is actively cultivating the use of carbon -benefit products for individual residents and realizing positive. The incentive cycle. Although the "big fish" is difficult to achieve in the short term, the "double carbon" target and the "1+N" policy system are promoted, the Chinese carbon market is destined to "big fish". Government, enterprises, residents, and third -party agencies are jointly spawning a huge ecology to form a natural soil that can provide nutrients for personal carbon account growth. From the perspective of the government, in addition to completing local emission reduction tasks, the government also provides good public services, prepares a carbon budget framework, sets up greenhouse gas emissions targets and paths, and establishes a system for carbon emission reduction covering the entire society and the individual department of the unit and individual departments. Arrange to set a clear development roadmap for personal carbon accounts. Before the national unified personal carbon account policy, the localities have been conducting pilots, and they are also seizing the right to speak in the future market. For enterprises, the mature Internet format in the domestic market can effectively help accumulate users in the carbon account platform. For the audience, the main body of the platform needs to establish a more complete mechanism of policy encouragement, commercial incentives and carbon reduction displacement transactions. At the 13th "Green Development Low -Carbon Life" main forum held at the end of June this year, Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the China Development Research Foundation, pointed out, "It is necessary The key green micro -basic system construction, whether it is the market or the responsibility system, is to establish carbon accounting and carbon accounts. , Mobilization of the whole people, low -carbon reduction, is a new attempt for social governance. Only by allowing each Chinese to become a carbon reduction target, not outsiders, can it form a good atmosphere of carbon reduction in the whole society.
