Carbon Emission Manager: A new career to deal with dual carbon goals

Not long ago, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, and the National Bureau of Statistics released the new profession of carbon emission manager
.

From June 16th to 18th, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association held a 3-day carbon emission manager and advanced training course on carbon peaking and carbon neutral development at Shenghong Petrochemical Group in Lianyungang, Jiangsu for the first time, marking the carbon emission of the petrochemical industry.

New careers came into being for dual carbon

In order to implement the carbon peak and carbon neutral goals proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, the new profession of carbon emission manager was officially included in the national professional sequence in March this year
.

As a result, a brand-new profession, carbon emission manager, was born specifically to respond to China's carbon peak and carbon neutral goals

"As one of the main initiators of this new profession, the Petrochemical Federation attaches great importance to this work
.

" Zhao Jungui emphasized that the future carbon peak and carbon neutrality are both a big test for the petrochemical industry to promote the green revolution of the industry.

The first carbon emission manager training course organized by the Petrochemical Federation was hosted by Shenghong Petrochemical Group
.

Zhao Jungui said that running a class in a large-scale private petrochemical company that is rapidly emerging is of typical significance and reflects the great importance of petrochemical companies to dual-carbon work

"This training has designed a three-day course.
On the one hand, it mainly introduces the basic concepts of carbon emissions; on the other hand, from a technical point of view, we have designed carbon accounting, carbon verification, carbon asset management, carbon market construction, and carbon Peak and carbon neutral key technologies and many other courses
.

For the entire curriculum system of carbon emission managers, the Petrochemical Federation is also stepping up the construction, including the development of basic textbooks and the setting of the entire curriculum system, which will definitely be more complete in the future

Establishing a professional team is of great significance

　　"Now we have to transform from a manufacturer of carbon emissions to a controller of carbon emissions and a user of carbon dioxide
.

In the development of the domestic petrochemical industry for more than 40 years, a large number of professional and technical personnel and skilled personnel have actually been accumulated

　　Regarding the question of what is the significance of the carbon emission manager for achieving the goal of carbon reduction in the future
.

Zhao Jungui gave the following answer.

　　Regarding the key to achieving the dual carbon goal, Zhao Jungui pointed out that the change of people's ideas is very important
.

We must recognize the importance of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality for China's future sustainable development and building a community with a shared future for mankind

　　In addition, carbon emission reduction involves all-round changes in the energy structure, raw material structure, and manufacturing system of the traditional petrochemical industry
.
There may be short-term pains .
However, it is generally believed that dual-carbon work is more opportunities than challenges for the petrochemical industry
.
If this work can be made more solid and detailed, it will greatly promote the process of green and high-quality development of the petrochemical industry
.
And an important feature of the chemical industry is the ability to continuously change the properties of materials
.
The application of new technologies is beneficial to accelerating the pace of industry transformation and upgrading
.
"At present, the petrochemical industry has calculated as a whole and is confident in completing the national carbon peak target on time
.
" Zhao Jungui pointed out that the petrochemical industry is capable of handing in a very satisfactory answer sheet in the face of this transformation and upgrading test
.
And if this goal is achieved, the face of China's petrochemical industry will undergo more profound and substantial changes
.

　　The petrochemical industry is actively taking action

　　In order to achieve the carbon peak goal, the petrochemical industry has taken active actions
.
Whether large central enterprises or local private enterprises, everyone is deeply researching, understanding, learning, and understanding the significance of dual carbon to the industry
.

　　State-owned enterprises represented by PetroChina and Sinopec have taken the lead in starting the energy structure adjustment work, marching into the new energy field, reducing the consumption of fossil energy; and converting more petroleum resources into raw materials for chemical products, reducing the application of fuel
.
Many companies have also begun to increase investment in the field of new energy, such as replacing traditional fossil energy with green power and green energy in the field of wind power
.
Shenghong Petrochemical, Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum and some coal chemical companies are all proposing new and various technical solutions for the capture and resource utilization of carbon dioxide to give full play to its value and reduce carbon emissions
.
In addition, the entire industry is increasing its talent training efforts
.
The Petrochemical Federation has organized the entire industry to issue a carbon peak, carbon neutral and green declaration, and will also cooperate with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to hold a seminar on comprehensive utilization of carbon dioxide to speed up the process of carbon dioxide resource utilization from a technical point of view, and summarize carbon dioxide resources.
Different technological routes of chemical application provide basis and reference for enterprises to reduce carbon
.

　　At the end of June, the national carbon market will be opened.
The power industry will be included in the first batch, and the building materials, petrochemical, chemical, steel and other industries will be included in the future
.
Although the petrochemical industry has not been formally included in the national carbon market at this stage, basic work has already begun
.
The Department of Climate Change Response of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has entrusted the Petrochemical Federation to assist in the following tasks: First, to cooperate in the formulation and update of the petrochemical industry carbon allowance allocation plan; second, to study and formulate the industry’s national carbon market operation test plan, and cooperate with relevant The drafting of the rules, the organization of enterprises to participate in the carbon market operation test in an orderly manner; the third is to study the industry’s national carbon market monitoring, reporting and verification systems, such as carbon emission data surveys, statistical analysis, standards and technical specifications research, etc.
; the fourth is to carry out national carbon market monitoring, reporting and verification systems; Market-related basic capacity building, such as the training and evaluation of carbon emission administrators, to improve corporate carbon trading capabilities and carbon emission management capabilities; fifth is to play the role of a bridge for organization, communication and coordination, and timely feedback on corporate encounters during the construction and operation of the carbon market Assist the competent authorities to put forward their opinions and suggestions for settlement, and provide consultation and diagnosis for the competent authorities and industry enterprises to resolve disputes
