Sinochem International has completed carbon footprint certification for the dichlorobenzene and p-nitrochlorobenzene intermediates, each on its own
Thread Content
Sinochem International has obtained carbon footprint certification for two intermediates. Recently, Sinochem International, a subsidiary of China Sinochem, completed LCA assessments (Life Cycle Assessment) as well as carbon footprint evaluations for the two chemical intermediate products, dichlorobenzene and p-nitrochlorobenzene, and received certification from the third-party authority SGS in accordance with the ISO14040, ISO14044, and ISO14067 standards. To date, Sinochem International has completed LCA assessments and carbon footprint certifications for 8 intermediate products, including epichlorohydrin, p-dichlorobenzene, and p-nitrochlorobenzene. Carbon footprint certification serves as a \"green pass\" for products to enter international markets. It ensures that accurate and reliable data on a product’s carbon emissions is provided to customers, thereby supporting carbon management and sustainable development efforts on the part of those customers and the industries they operate in. This, in turn, helps enhance a company’s competitiveness in international markets. Sinochem International integrates the concepts of greenness and low carbon emissions into every stage of the product lifecycle, from design and raw material procurement to production, transportation, storage, use, and recycling. By strengthening management and driving technological innovation, it refines carbon emission control at the product level, continues to promote clean production, and strives to achieve energy savings, carbon reduction, and improved efficiency.
The carbon footprint refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by humans in their production and daily activities, and it is derived from the concept of ecological footprint. Calculating the carbon emissions generated by a product throughout its entire life cycle – from raw material acquisition, manufacturing, transportation, sales, use, to disposal and recycling – includes not only the emissions associated with the product itself but also those related to its industrial chain and supply chain.
I. On March 18, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the key points for automotive standardization work in 2022, emphasizing the need to strengthen the guidance provided by green technology standards in order to support the achievement of the dual-carbon goals! In the field of vehicle carbon emissions. Carry out research and initiate development of basic general standards such as general requirements for greenhouse gas management in road vehicles, term definitions, and guidelines for achieving carbon neutrality. Advance research and project initiation on standards related to carbon emissions and accounting methods for vehicle manufacturers and their products. Initiate preliminary research on standards for labeling the carbon footprint of automotive products and for assessing greenhouse gas emission reductions under various driving conditions of electric vehicles. II. On March 22, the **Development and Reform Commission** and the **Energy Bureau** issued the \"14th Five-Year Plan for a Modern Energy System.\" In addition to calling for an accelerated transition toward a greener and lower-carbon energy structure, the plan also specifies that followers are encouraged to follow the WeChat official account: 3060 Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality, to obtain more information. Reducing the carbon footprint of the energy industry chain: Promoting emissions reductions in the exploration and production of fossil fuels. Promote the green and low-carbon extraction of fossil fuels. Strengthen the green mining and processing of coal, and increase efforts to recover and utilize methane from oil and gas fields. Accelerate the promotion and application of carbon dioxide flooding technology; by 2025, the utilization volume of coal mine gas is to reach 6 billion cubic meters, with a sorting rate for raw coal reaching 80%. Promote advanced technologies and equipment for energy extraction. Accelerate the electrification of fuel, gas, and combustion equipment, and increase the proportion of electricity in power supply for offshore oil and gas platforms. Promote efficiency improvements and carbon reduction in energy processing, storage, and transportation. Promote the transformation and upgrading of the refining and chemical industry, strictly control the addition of new oil refining capacity, orderly phase out outdated and inefficient production capacities, extend the industrial chain, increase the proportion of high-value-added products, improve the level of comprehensive resource utilization, and accelerate the development of green and intelligent refineries. Promote the differential, graded, and tiered utilization of coal.
