Shandong built the first "zero carbon service area" in the country. Where did those carbon go?

On July 12, the first "zero -carbon service area" in the country to realize self -neutrality, the Jinan East Service Area of ​​Qingyin Highway, was officially put into use. The first highway "Zero Carbon Service Area" white paper was launched simultaneously.

As we all know, transportation is one of the important areas of carbon emissions, accounting for about 10%of my country's total carbon emissions. The highway service area is an important service node of highway traffic, and it runs endlessly throughout the year. According to statistics, there are currently more than 3,300 pairs of highway service areas in my country. According to the average annual carbon dioxide emissions per pair of service areas, the average annual carbon dioxide emissions of the national highway service area is about 3.3 million tons. In this context, the service area promotes carbon reduction to achieve the heavy responsibility of green and high -quality development.

As one of the largest service areas in Shandong Province, Jinan East Annual serves more than 10 million passengers, and its carbon emissions are large. As the pilot unit to carry out the "zero-carbon service area", this time Jinan east close to the "Z-E-R-O" zero carbon concept. ) Represents emission reduction measures and effectiveness, O (offset) represents carbon exchange. How to achieve "zero carbon"? That is to integrate measures such as energy conservation, emission reduction, and remittances to realize the self -balance of carbon emissions, emission reduction, and carbon exchange in the service area, and achieve zero carbon emissions target.

For example, the establishment of renewable energy systems to reduce carbon, that is, the realization of zero -fossil energy consumption and 100%green power supply. Specifically, the Jinan East Service Area has integrated advanced energy technology and equipment to build zero -carbon energy systems facing large -scale renewable energy control, and supporting infrastructure such as DC micro networks to ensure the efficient production and stable consumption of green power. At present, the renewable energy system of Jinan East Service Area includes distributed photovoltaic power generation+energy storage, outdoor microfilled lighting, and traffic DC micro -network. The photovoltaic power generation system is expected to have an average annual power generation of about 3.6 million kWh, which can reduce the annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 320 tons.

For another example, the carbon improvement system is absorbed by the forestry carbon exchange system. At present, the greening area of ​​Jinan East Service Area is about 67,100 square meters, and the greening rate reaches 33%. In order to improve the carbon exchange capacity, the service area has selected vegetation such as large trees and bamboo forests with strong carbon capacity. The increase of the planting area to increase the area of ​​19,000 square meters, creating an outdoor space for the organic combination of ecological and landscape.

It is worth noting that whether it is photovoltaic power generation or forestry carbon exchange, in addition to satisfying carbon reduction tasks, it may become an innovative commercial revenue path of the service area, enrich its business format, and help the sustainable transformation and development under the epidemic situation. Essence

The heavens do not say four o'clock, the earth is nothing but everything is born. The earth is the only home for human survival. We are destined to start a new journey of climate change. The establishment of the country's first "zero carbon service area" in Shandong is both the concept of practicing green development, but also a concrete practice to accelerate the construction of a demonstration zone of the traffic power. According to media reports, in recent years, Jiangsu, Tianjin and other places have explored the construction of "zero carbon" and "near zero carbon" service areas to achieve certain results. This time the Jinan East Zero Carbon Service Area has enriched the development concept of "zero carbon" on the basis of existing basis. Industry insiders have evaluated that they have gone at the forefront of the country. Typical demonstrations have a good demonstration model.

In the "Shandong High -speed Zero -Carbon Service Area White Paper" released this time, Shandong has formulated specific plans for how to copy and promote the "zero -carbon service area" in the future. For example, summarize the experience of the construction of Jinan Dongzongli Carbon Service Area in a timely manner, strengthen the research of key technologies for construction of zero -carbon service areas in highways, formulate a series of standards such as the construction, operation, and evaluation of the highway zero -carbon service areas, and form a set of technology in the construction of zero -carbon service areas. And the comprehensive promotion of the (near) zero -carbon service area from point to line to face -to -face promotion of the construction and operation model that can be replicated and promoted; Transportation energy structure, promote new energy and clean energy applications. Promote the recycling and comprehensive utilization of construction materials, waste materials, improve the level of resource reuse and recycling, promote the development of the circulation of traffic resources, strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction and pollution prevention; increase investment in green development funds, vigorously develop ecological environmental protection and new energy sources Waiting for the green and low -carbon industry. Improving carbon emissions management capabilities, promoting the intelligent transformation of energy numbers, continuously improving the efficiency of resource utilization, and reducing carbon emissions in various business links.

The infrastructure involves many links and a long construction cycle. Infrastructure is an important guarantee support for high -quality development. It is still accelerating construction and increasingly perfect stage. It cannot slow down. Therefore, it is necessary to work hard on the green development of the entire life cycle. Just as the enlightenment brought by the "zero carbon service area", the green development of infrastructure should not be limited to the construction link, or bloom, but should be implemented to all links, extend forward to the planning design, extend backwards to operations to operation Maintenance and even foresee the demolition link. We look forward to the birth of more green low -carbon infrastructure demonstration projects in Shandong, making green the beautiful background of the infrastructure life cycle.
