Shanghai Chongming explores the establishment of a blue carbon trading center

"Chongming World-class Ecological Island Development Plan (2021~2035)" released

Sinochem News on January 14, Shanghai released the "Outline of Chongming World-class Ecological Island Development Plan (2021-2035)" (referred to as "Development Outline")

According to the "Development Outline", Shanghai Chongming will explore the path to realize the value of ecological products, establish an ecosystem carbon sink monitoring and accounting system, carry out carbon sink background surveys and reserve assessments, and correspondingly improve functions such as asset ownership confirmation and trading, and explore the establishment of blueprints.

In terms of refined management of carbon emissions, Shanghai Chongming will carry out monitoring and management of greenhouse gas emissions, explore the establishment of an ecosystem carbon sink monitoring and accounting system, accelerate the application of emerging technologies such as remote sensing measurement, big data, and cloud computing in the field of carbon emissions measurement, and develop carbon emissions.

The "Development Outline" proposes that Chongming will increase deployment in various fields such as energy, industry, construction, and transportation, and explore the path to "carbon neutrality" first

At the same time, the "Development Outline" also proposes that Shanghai Chongming will accelerate the development of photovoltaic power generation, strengthen energy conservation and carbon reduction of new infrastructure, optimize the spatial layout and energy structure of new infrastructure, and promote the use of DC power supply, distributed energy storage, "photovoltaic + storage" able” mode
