Happy New Year 2024 **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) *****************On December 1, 2023, the voluntary verification platform for zero-carbon energy certificates (in Chinese) was officially launched. By establishing a data statistics system for the non-electric utilization of renewable energy, the platform quantifies the ecological and environmental benefits associated with such renewable energy sources, thereby encouraging the whole society to consume green energy. The release of this platform is of positive significance for promoting the development of non-electric utilization of renewable energy in China, improving the statistical system for such utilization, and enhancing the capacity for tracking carbon emissions. In the future, the Biomass Energy Industry Branch will continue to work on developing a \"voluntary certification platform for zero-carbon energy certificates.\" The scope of certification will be gradually expanded to include renewable energy sources such as biogas, biodiesel, and biomethanol, covering all areas of non-electric utilization of renewable energy. This platform will serve companies in the renewable energy sector as well as other enterprises, becoming a useful tool for managing such non-electric applications of renewable energy. It will provide relevant regulatory authorities and enterprises with reliable and unalterable data and credit support related to the non-electric use of renewable energy, thereby promoting the healthy development of the zero-carbon energy certificate trading market and fostering trust and integration between domestic and international carbon markets, ultimately helping to achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. 　　During this press conference, the report titled “Prospects for the Bionatural Gas Industry under Carbon Neutrality Goals” was also released. At the afternoon seminar, Li Ruixin, head of the Carbon Market Working Group of the China-EU Chamber of Commerce; Lu Shutong, director of the Zero-Carbon Market Mechanisms Department at the Rocky Mountain Institute; Zhang Lixin, section chief at the China National Quality Certification Center; Qian Bing, deputy director of the Consulting Business Department at the Tianjin Emission Rights Exchange; Zhang Jianhong, senior engineer at China International Engineering Consulting Corporation; Zhao Kai, lead representative of the Global Methanol Industry Association in China; and Zheng Ping, director of the Climate Change and Energy Transition Project at Peking University’s Institute of Energy, presented their views from the perspectives of mechanisms, certification, accounting, strategies, development, and demand. They also discussed with the attendees the opportunities and challenges associated with the development of bioenergy in the context of the EU’s carbon tariffs.
