Shanghai selected as a national comprehensive pilot city to start atmospheric greenhouse gas monitoring

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Shanghai, as one of the 8 comprehensive pilot cities in the country, focuses on monitoring the concentration of major greenhouse gases in the ground atmosphere, exploring top-down carbon emissions inversion methods, and providing urban carbon emissions accounting results Check the reference
.

 

A few days ago, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Carbon Monitoring and Evaluation Pilot Work Plan", which selected 16 cities including Shanghai and five key basic industries including thermal power, steel, and oil and gas across the country to carry out pilot monitoring of greenhouse gases and explore the establishment of carbon monitoring and evaluation.
The technical method system, the formation of a business operation mode, summing up experience and practices, exerting demonstration effects, and providing data support for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the work on climate change
.

 

The types of pilot projects for monitoring atmospheric greenhouse gases and ocean carbon sinks nationwide include basic pilot cities, comprehensive pilot cities, and marine pilot cities
.
Select Tangshan, Taiyuan and other medium-sized cities with stable dominant wind directions and good atmospheric mixing as basic pilot cities, and focus on monitoring and evaluation of high-precision CO₂ and high-precision CH₄; select Panjin and Nantong as marine pilot cities to develop salt marshes and red One or more types of monitoring and evaluation of forests, seagrass beds, seaweed farming, etc.
; large cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou with variable atmospheric currents and obvious differences in the spatial distribution of greenhouse gas concentrations are selected as comprehensive pilot cities, focusing on the development of high-precision CO₂, High-precision monitoring and evaluation of CH₄ and other greenhouse gases
.

 

As one of the eight comprehensive pilot cities in the country, Shanghai focuses on monitoring the concentration of major greenhouse gases in the ground atmosphere, exploring top-down carbon emissions inversion methods, and providing a reference for verification of the city's carbon emissions accounting results
.
The leaders of the Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau attached great importance to the pilot work of carbon monitoring, and the Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center took active actions.
Since March this year, several meetings have been held to conduct research and deployment on the pilot work of carbon monitoring; key departments such as the atmospheric laboratory are the lead departments , Established a carbon monitoring technical team, benchmarked the national pilot program, served the dual-carbon work in Shanghai, promoted resource integration and data sharing, compiled the "Shanghai Carbon Monitoring Work Implementation Plan", and formed a preliminary draft for soliciting opinions after multiple rounds of expert demonstrations
.

 

　　Shanghai’s carbon monitoring work implementation plan closely focuses on the dual-carbon goals.
It is planned to build a comprehensive monitoring system for greenhouse gases in the city during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
Carry out the construction of carbon monitoring network and accounting technical support capacity, and simultaneously establish and improve the construction of monitoring and evaluation systems such as method standards, instrument specifications, quality control systems, satellite inversion, and carbon source and sink numerical simulation
.
In 2022, it is planned to pilot high-precision greenhouse gas concentration monitoring at two urban sites in the urban and suburban areas, and combine the existing monitoring sites of scientific research units such as the Meteorological Bureau and the Advanced Institute of Technology to combine drones, navigation, remote sensing and sensor technologies.
Three-dimensional monitoring of carbon dioxide and methane near the ground, and a preliminary establishment of a multi-source atmospheric environmental greenhouse gas concentration monitoring system based on "fixed sites + drone monitoring + satellite remote sensing" to track and assess the long-term trend of atmospheric carbon dioxide changes
.
Actively promote the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions in key industries such as thermal power, steel, and transportation, and establish a localized high-temporal-resolution greenhouse gas emission inventory; develop global, regional nested and two-way coupling inversion methods and numerical models, relying on carbon satellites and high-frequency near ground Observation data and ecological carbon flux monitoring in typical regions, develop CO₂ concentration and flux assimilation and optimization algorithms, and promote the verification of urban carbon emissions accounting results
.

 

　　In the next step, the Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center will further refine the implementation plan in accordance with the requirements of the national plan, comprehensively promote the pilot monitoring work, actively sum up experience and practices, and make a technical reserve that can be promoted, applied and demonstrable for the national urban atmospheric greenhouse gas monitoring , To provide strong support for our country’s work on climate change
