    【Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network Market Analysis】
    On July 1, Shanghai's first green finance regulations came into
    force.
    The regulations mention that Shanghai will establish a regional individual carbon account to encourage carbon inclusive emission reductions to enter the Shanghai carbon trading market
    .
    Does this mean that we will usher in an era of personal carbon reduction? In fact, Guangdong launched the country's first urban carbon inclusion platform as early as 2019, and now more than 20 life scenarios have been certified
    for carbon reduction.
    Guangdong, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Fujian, Hubei, Chongqing, Zhejiang and other provinces have carried out some explorations
    .

     
    Although this way of personal carbon reduction makes Xiaobian feel new and lively as an ordinary person, domestic energy and industry account for 80% of all carbon emissions, and high-energy-consuming enterprises have always been at the forefront
    of emission reduction.
    Carbon trading pilot exchanges
    have been established in nine regions, including Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.
    There are two
    types of objects traded in the market.
    It is reported that State Grid Beijing and Chongqing Electric Power have directly participated in carbon market transactions through local carbon exchanges, accumulating more than 160,000 yuan
    .
    The other category is certified voluntary participation, in which any enterprise can participate
    voluntarily.
    At the same time, the research and application of carbon trading-related financial enabling products, such as the "carbon efficiency code" and other data products launched by State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power and local financial institutions, have benefited more than 60 enterprises and issued more than 1.
    3 billion
    yuan of green financial loans.

     
    However, Xiaobian feels that although the carbon trading market is prosperous, it is still in a relatively immature stage, and there are still many problems Yuyao to face and solve in the future, such as a perfect carbon measurement system.
    .
    .

     
    A wide variety of carbon measurement and monitoring
     
    As an important means of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, carbon measurement is also the basis for establishing a carbon trading market, so accurate measurement data is crucial
    .
    The Measurement Development Plan (2021-2035) issued by the State Council in January 2022 should improve the carbon emission measurement system, strengthen the research and application of key carbon emission measurement and testing technologies, improve carbon measurement standard devices, and provide measurement support
    for measurable, reportable and verifiable greenhouse gas emissions.
    At the same time, a carbon emission measurement review system has been established to strengthen the carbon measurement requirements for key emissions, and provincial companies across the country have also carried out a variety of research and application
    of carbon measurement and carbon monitoring technologies.

     
    Install metering devices to measure carbon directly
     
    The first domestic carbon emission accurate measurement system for the power industry was officially launched in Jiangsu, and State Grid Jiangsu installed metering devices to monitor the flow rate, pressure, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration of the emission gas in real time to achieve accurate measurement
    of carbon emissions of power plant units under standard conditions.
    In addition, we will cooperate with thermal power generation enterprises to develop and launch an accurate carbon emission measurement system
    for the power industry.
    At present, it has been applied
    to 9 power plants and 15 thermal power units.

     
    Satellite carbon measurement
     
    The "Weiyuan County Carbon Neutrality Big Data Platform" developed by Sichuan Electric Power Research Institute has built three core scenarios
    : monitoring carbon emissions, decision-making carbon emission reduction, and sensing new development.
    Innovative introduction of satellite remote sensing, the use of carbon satellite scanning to obtain regional carbon dioxide concentration, through sampling and data completion and other process processing, to achieve regional carbon dioxide concentration distribution monitoring
    .
    State Grid Sichuan Electric Power obtains the daily carbon concentration data of the province from 2015 to 2021 through carbon satellites, grasps the basic emission situation, identifies high-value concentration areas and fast-growing areas, and analyzes the root causes of carbon dioxide concentration trends based on the industrial distribution in key areas
    .

     
    "Carbon Reduction with Electricity"
     
    Measuring total CO2 emissions from electricity data is a common method
    .
    By collecting historical coal, oil, gas and other energy data, combined with carbon emission factors, calculating and obtaining historical carbon emission data, and fitting the relationship between electricity and carbon emissions through regression analysis or neural network, etc.
    , so as to achieve carbon emission monitoring
    by analyzing electricity data without obtaining current energy data.

     
    The error of the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Carbon Model is about 4%: The basic electricity carbon model of the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company has completed the measurement of carbon emission products in the province in 19, 20 years and 2021, and compared with the carbon emission measurement results of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, the total annual carbon emission results of the two are similar, and the relative error is about
    4%.

     
    State Grid Fujian "Electric Carbon Ecological Map": State Grid Fujian Electric Power Co.
    , Ltd.
    and Xiamen Power Supply Company released the electric carbon ecological map by United Nations Wangying Carbon Asset Management, which integrates and links coal, oil, gas, heat and other energy consumption data through the integration of power big data, so as to realize the panoramic and dynamic display of carbon emissions of regions, industries and enterprises in terms of electricity, and serve government decision-making and social energy transformation
    。 Open up the "electricity-carbon-energy" data chain, draw an electric carbon ecological map for enterprises on the plan, including four maps, including regional carbon emission heat map, carbon electricity intensity analysis map of various industries, carbon electricity intensity analysis map of enterprises in the same industry, and carbon electricity intensity comparison chart between enterprises and industries, which have covered 1836 industrial enterprises
    in Xiamen.

     
    "Carbon in Energy"
     
    Through statistics and acquisition of basic energy data such as coal, oil and gas of enterprises, industries and regions, and calculate carbon emissions with reference to national (or international) carbon emission conversion standards
    .
    Shanghai Electric Power Research Institute has built a monitoring platform
    for carbon emissions from power supply in Shanghai (mainly including carbon emissions from power generation and transmission and distribution).
    According to the carbon accounting standards promulgated by the state, based on industry-level and enterprise-level electricity consumption data, the platform integrates and applies the energy consumption data of China's carbon accounting database, and sets up functions such as "energy flow map", "carbon footprint" and "enterprise carbon emission heat map" in Shanghai, so as to realize the measurement, dynamic monitoring and analysis
    of the total carbon emissions and power supply carbon emission intensity of Shanghai power generation and power grid enterprises.

     
    Standards and specifications related to carbon measurement
     
    However, the current application cases of carbon measurement and carbon monitoring technology are still dominated by data access in a certain region, like isolated islands
    scattered in various places.
    Then it is very important
    to form a complete standard system at the beginning.
    On March 14, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment notified four institutions of the falsification of carbon emission report data, and the carbon emission data specification needs to be further strengthened
    .
    The provincial and municipal departments of ecology and environment have issued guidelines on greenhouse gas emission accounting methods by industry in their regions
    .

     
    Technical specification for continuous monitoring of flue gas carbon dioxide emissions in thermal power plants
     
    On March 22, the National Energy Administration issued and implemented the Technical Code for Continuous Monitoring of Flue Gas Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Thermal Power Plants (DL/T2376-2021).

    The industry believes that this is an important means to
    improve the accuracy of corporate carbon emission data.
    This energy and electricity industry standard implemented by the National Energy Administration is the first domestic technical standard for continuous monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions, which fills the gap of China's continuous monitoring technology standard for carbon emissions in the field of power generation and improves the technical system
    of carbon emission monitoring and accounting in the power generation industry.

     
    The journey to a perfect carbon measurement system has just begun
     
    The Anhui Provincial Market Supervision Bureau set up a leading group for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, drafted the "Anhui Province Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Standard Measurement System Implementation Plan (Draft Opinion)" and solicited the opinions of relevant departments, and the Anhui Provincial Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Measurement Technical Committee is applying for establishment
    according to the procedures.

     
    On May 9, the State Administration for Market Regulation officially approved the establishment of the "National Carbon Measurement Center (Inner Mongolia)" relying on the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Institute of Metrology and Testing, which is the first national carbon measurement center approved by the State Administration for Market Regulation to establish a standardized carbon measurement laboratory
    .

     
    On June 17, the Shaanxi Provincial Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Measurement Technical Committee was officially inaugurated, becoming the first dual carbon measurement technical committee in China, building a dual carbon measurement standard system, leading the research of dual carbon measurement technology, planning the development direction of measurement technology, and developing special testing equipment
    .

     
    On June 24, the unveiling ceremony of the Tianjin Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Operation Service Center was held, and the first provincial "dual carbon" operation service center with government-enterprise cooperation in China was officially put into use
    .
    The center has five functions
    : carbon emission reduction services, carbon asset operation, carbon emissions trading, carbon assessment and certification, and low-carbon technology research.

     
    The establishment of this series of institutions also shows that China is strengthening research on carbon measurement related technologies and improving the carbon peak and carbon neutrality measurement system.
