Carbon Emissions Research & Emission Reduction Solutions: A Complete Guide

Background

To jointly address global climate change, over 140 countries worldwide have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality. Regions such as the EU have also actively responded by undertaking related work, for example, by promoting carbon tariffs and new battery regulations, which have created certain green trade barriers for China’s export enterprises, especially in high-emission sectors.

As the world’s largest industrial nation, China is also actively carrying out carbon reduction work. In 2020, President Xi Jinping pledged to “peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030” and “achieve carbon neutrality before 2060”.

To achieve its climate change goals, China has actively formulated and implemented a series of strategies, regulations, policies, standards, and actions, establishing a “1+N” policy framework for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

Under the policy calls of national and local governments, “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality” has become a new social trend, a hot topic, and an imperative mission for all industries.

Effective carbon emissions research and carbon management have become essential for enterprises to remain competitive and compliant. In the following sections, we will explore regulatory requirements and tailored solutions to help your organization achieve its carbon reduction and sustainability goals.

Why Carbon Management Matters

Reduce Compliance Costs

China’s the Administrative Measures for National Carbon Emission Trading (Trail) requires key emitters to calculate their annual greenhouse gas emissions and surrender equivalent allowances. If allowances are insufficient, they need to purchase allowances or CCER (China Certified Emission Reductions). By implementing low-carbon/carbon-neutral solutions and reducing carbon emissions, enterprises can lower compliance costs and even profit from surplus carbon allowances.

Reduce Export Costs

The EU passed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on March 15, 2022. According to the proposal, the CBAM will apply in its definitive regime from 2026 on imported cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen, while the current transitional phase lasts between 2023 and 2025. Relevant enterprises should formulate and implement energy-saving and emission reduction plans in advance to reduce export costs..

Obtain Policy Incentives

Since the launch of China’s dual-carbon targets, various provinces and municipalities have introduced supportive policies offering rewards and subsidies for carbon reduction. Examples include:

• Xuhui District Management Measures for Special Funds on Energy Conservation, Emission Reduction, and Carbon Mitigation
• Notice on Issuing Several Policy Measures for Stabilizing Economic Growth in 2022
• Tongzhou District Subsidy Funds Management Measures for Green Transformation and Upgrade Projects (Trial)

These policies enable companies, products, events, and regions to accelerate low-carbon transitions while remaining competitive amid shifting economic and regulatory landscapes.
