- Abstract:
- In order to achieve China’s carbon neutrality goal, a large water group in Beijing took the lead in releasing the Carbon Neutrality Plan and Carbon Neutrality Implementation Plan in the national water industry in 2021. The objective is to lead the green transformation of China’s water industry and promote its higher quality development. This paper introduced the accounting boundary and methodology of the carbon neutral plan, outlining the detailed requirements of the plan and implementation measures. The content had elaborated on carbon emission reduction measures and their application effects, focusing on three aspects: management innovation promoting green and low-carbon operation, technological innovation realizing clean energy substitution, and ecological service innovation realizing biological carbon fixation. By 2025, the carbon emission intensity would be reduced by 20% compared to 2020, with stock carbon reduction and green energy substitution contributing 10% respectively. By 2035, the carbon emissions intensity would be reduced by 40% compared to 2020, with stock carbon reduction and green energy substitution contributing 20% respectively. By 2050, the carbon emission intensity would be reduced by more than 80% compared to 2020, comprising 20% stock carbon reduction, 20% own green energy substitution, and 40% outsourcing of green electricity as per Beijing’s green electricity consumption arrangement. The remaining 20% carbon reduction will be offset through market-oriented mechanisms such as acquiring carbon sinks, allowing the group to achieve near?zero carbon emissions.
