On May 15, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, together with the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Economic Information Commission, the Municipal Transportation Commission, and the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, jointly held the main event of the 2024 National Low Carbon Day in Chongqing. About 100 people from leaders from relevant municipal departments, as well as representatives of key industrial parks, enterprises and environmental protection social organizations participated in the on-site activities.
The scene of the event
During the event, the results of Chongqing's response to climate change in recent years were summarized and reviewed, and the experience of typical green and low-carbon cases was shared. On the same day, more than 30 districts and counties (autonomous counties) in the city jointly launched a series of publicity activities for the National Low Carbon Day.

Promote the overall progress and hand over the green and low-carbon Chongqing answer sheet
In recent years, Chongqing has adhered to a multi-pronged and holistic approach, and has achieved initial results in promoting green and low-carbon transformation.
At the policy and institutional level, the "Implementation Opinions on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality", "Chongqing Carbon Peak Implementation Plan", "Chengdu-Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Joint Action Plan" and other documents have been issued successively, and the "1+2+6+N" policy system has been built in a coordinated manner, and the policy system for carbon peak and carbon neutrality has been gradually improved.
In terms of energy structure, we will vigorously develop clean energy, actively promote the introduction of "green electricity" into Chongqing, and effectively promote the vigorous development of new quality productivity such as the new energy vehicle industry, the biological industry, the new material industry, and high-end equipment manufacturing.
In terms of pilot demonstrations, Chongqing has systematically promoted national and municipal pilot projects for climate investment and financing, with a total of 497 projects in storage, involving financing intentions of 407.3 billion yuan. In 2023, China will implement 6.84 billion yuan of green and low-carbon tax reductions and exemptions, and promote the construction of climate investment and financing and green finance reform and innovation pilot zones, with the balance of green loans reaching 680 billion yuan. We have deepened national-level pilot projects such as national low-carbon cities, climate-resilient cities, and collaborative innovation in pollution and carbon reduction, and simultaneously launched the first batch of near-zero carbon parks and city-level pilot projects for climate investment and financing, forming a number of typical experiences of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality that are recognizable in Chongqing.
In terms of creation and leadership, we have further promoted the creation of green life, and successfully established 2,403 energy-saving institutions and 1,605 green communities. The new energy of buses in the central urban area accounted for 24.8%, and the new energy of cruise taxis accounted for 39.3%; New urban buildings fully implement green building standards, with 93.22% of new urban green buildings accounting for new buildings in the completion stage, and nearly 18 million square meters of renewable energy building application area has been implemented since the 14th Five-Year Plan. There were 42 newly certified green food enterprises in the city, an increase of 147% year-on-year. The assessment of the pilot construction of "zero-waste city" ranked first in the country, and the ranking of domestic waste classification remained the first in the western region.
Typical guide, cultivating green and low-carbon grassroots cells
In the 2023 city-wide green and low-carbon typical case collection activity, a large number of grassroots low-carbon cells such as hard-core technologies, advanced processes and excellent models have emerged in different industries, which are worthy of promotion and popularization.
CCID Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. has applied for 192 patents, 117 authorizations and 7 software copyrights, including the world's first innovative flexible (GBT) DC power supply technology and stepped horizontal preheating technology. It is estimated that each green and efficient electric arc furnace using this technology will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 26,000 tons per year. Sailis Group implements the low-carbon transformation of enterprise production, and uses the factory floor to build a photovoltaic power generation system, with a total installed capacity of 127MW, a total power generation of nearly 100 million KWH, and an annual carbon emission reduction of more than 70,000 tons.

Chuanwei Chemical, located in Changshou District, uses its own hydrogen production capacity of 1 billion cubic meters per year to build and put into operation the largest hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply project in southwest China, providing 2,150 tons of hydrogen fuel per year for the Changshou Hydrogen Refueling Integrated Energy Mother Station and the "Chengdu-Chongqing Hydrogen Corridor" 20 hydrogen refueling station, and achieving an annual carbon emission reduction of 14,300 tons.

It is worth noting that typical green and low-carbon cases in rural areas such as the green and low-carbon irrigation system in Bafu Town, High-tech Zone, and the green and low-carbon demonstration village in Dama Village, Yongle Town, Fengjie County, have also come to the fore, fully demonstrating the effectiveness of low-carbon path exploration in the process of rural revitalization in our city. In addition, the Beibei District New Era Civilization Practice Ecological Civilization Sub-center was awarded the 2023 National Green and Low-Carbon Typical Case (Base Category).

Participation of the whole people to unite the joint force of a green and low-carbon society
Since last year, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment has opened the "Chongqing Carbon Lecture Hall", organizing business backbones and experts to go deep into parks, campuses, communities and institutions to carry out the "Four Advances" activities, sending policies and technologies to key enterprises and government cadres, and sending science popularization and ideas to the community and young students. In schools such as Chongqing University, Jinzhou Campus of the High School Affiliated to Xi'an University, and Jiangnan Primary School in Nan'an District, the popularization of dual carbon knowledge is closely integrated with the students' academic courses, which is professional, vivid, and interesting, and is well received by teachers and students. In Changshou Chemical Industry Park, dozens of enterprises interacted with experts on the spot to answer questions and solve doubts, and help development; In the Yuzhong District Ecology and Environment Bureau, cadres, workers and experts discussed and exchanged ideas on how to identify the dual carbon work as a starting point to expand the depth of work, and how to advocate the community to develop a low-carbon lifestyle.

The relevant person in charge of the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment told reporters, "It is necessary for different groups in society to find their own incisions to participate in low-carbon practices in production and life scenarios, and at the same time to feel the benefits and convenience brought by low-carbon behaviors." ”
It is based on this thinking that in 2021, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment initiated the construction of the "Carbon Huitong" platform, which is the first in the country to integrate carbon compliance, carbon neutrality and carbon inclusiveness. By the end of 2023, the city's carbon emission trading has a total of 47.53 million tons and 1.05 billion yuan; The cumulative turnover of certified voluntary emission reductions (CQCER) on the Carbon Huitong platform is 3.98 million tons, exceeding 100 million yuan, and the cumulative number of registered people on the "Carbon Huitong" platform exceeds 2 million.
Previously, Chongqing Public Transport Group developed and launched the "Chongqing Urban Public Transport Vehicle Travel Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Project", and completed the first CQCER on the Chongqing United Equity Exchange, trading about 167,000 tons of greenhouse gas emission reduction. During this year's National Low Carbon Day, Chongqing Public Transport Group launched a "bus ticket" worth one million yuan, and the majority of Chongqing citizens can use carbon credits to redeem through the "Carbon Huitong" applet.
