Ningbo of China: Anchoring the Goal of "Emission Peak and Carbon Neutrality"
NINGBO, China, March 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

In recent years, Ningbo, an eastern coastal city in China, has accumulated a 
lot of experience and practices in various fields of 'emission peak and carbon 
neutrality' such as the digital and intelligent energy management, the low 
carbonization of industrial parks, the environmental protection of ports, and 
the realization of 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', and 
has achieved remarkable results." The NPC deputy who came to Beijing to 
participate in the two National Sessions (NPC & CPPCC) this time, Ye Miao, 
director of the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, 
brought the "Proposal on Facilitating Ningbo Building a Coastal Model City 
based on the 'Emission Peak and Carbon Neutrality'".

This year's Report on the Work of the Government has mentioned: Continuing the 
transition to green development. Pollution prevention and control should be 
intensified. We should improve policies for green development, develop the 
circular economy, promote efficient and intensive use of resources, advance 
energy conservation and carbon reduction in key areas, and continue working to 
keep our skies blue, waters clear, and lands clean. On the eve of the two 
National Sessions, China's first blue carbon auction was held in Xiangshan, 
Ningbo, which has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Blue 
carbon, also known as blue carbon exchange reserves or marine carbon exchange 
reserves, is a master of capturing carbon dioxide as well as a treasure trove 
of storing carbon dioxide, and has a carbon storage cycle reaching several 
thousand years. In the context of accelerating the construction of emission 
peak and carbon neutrality, global blue carbon trading is becoming more and 
more active. The first shot of the blue carbon trading has achieved success in 
Xiangshan. It was Ningbo's first exploration to shape the national blue carbon 
trading market, and it was also Ningbo's first beneficial exploration of the 
practice of emission peak and carbon neutrality.

After the release of the major strategic deployment of "China strives to 
achieve emission peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060", Ningbo has 
striven effort fully with its actions and has taken the lead in the pilot 
project of carbon credit evaluation services nationwide. Through the 
construction of application scenarios, the carbon capabilities and carbon 
assets of enterprises were comprehensively characterized, providing accurate 
services for inclusive small and micro loans. "Residential photovoltaic 
projects" realizing common prosperity for all in Longguan Township, Haishu 
District, Ningbo, China use the industry models of photovoltaic villages to 
awaken the "dozed" roof resources of the countryside, so that the green 
industries can revitalize the rural areas. At the same time, Ningbo has also 
promoted the high-quality development of green petrochemical industry clusters 
by establishing a "chemical industry brain" as well as the dual-core engine of 
"industrial brain + future factory". In 2022, chemical enterprises in Zhenhai 
District have applied the energy consumption analysis of the chemical industry 
brain to carry out 13 projects regarding equipment transformation and upgrading 
as well as process optimization, saving about 5,000 tons of standard coal and 
reducing carbon emissions by about 11,000 tons.

In 2023, Ningbo will co-ordinate the "four dimensions" of economic growth, 
energy security, carbon emissions, and residents' lives, promote the carbon 
reduction, pollution abatement, expansion of environmental protection and 
growth accordantly, actively and steadily encourage the emission peak and 
carbon neutrality, and implement the "Top Ten Actions for Emission Peak".
