Not long ago, Beijing City joined hands with Tianjin City and Hebei Province to jointly draw a new blueprint for green travel and officially released the "Technical Specifications for Carbon Inclusive Project Emission Reduction Accounting and Low-Carbon Travel."
This groundbreaking technical document marks the official birth of the country's first regional emission reduction accounting standard in the field of carbon inclusion for low-carbon travel, and will be implemented on October 1 this year.
This standard not only accurately defines the technical terms and clear definitions of low-carbon travel in carbon inclusive project emission reduction calculation, but also specifies in detail the cornerstone of project implementation-basic requirements, types of greenhouse gases involved, and project boundaries. Clear division and setting of crediting period.
More importantly, it provides scientific and rigorous accounting methods to ensure the accuracy of emission reduction data. At the same time, it emphasizes the key links of data monitoring and management to protect the transparency and credibility of the project.
For ordinary citizens, low-carbon travel is a good way to participate in low-carbon emission reduction.In recent years, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has made many explorations and practices in the design, construction and operation of low-carbon travel and carbon inclusive projects.
Beijing
Scan the code and take the bus and subway to get carbon energy, and accumulate a certain amount of carbon energy to get corresponding rewards... Opening the software to record low-carbon life has become a common practice for many Beijing citizens.XiHabit.
The carbon energy obtained can be used for many purposes. Taking Gaode Map as an example, in the "Green Travel" section, more than 20 kinds of gift certificates such as gourmet coupons, scenic spot ticket coupons, and taxi coupons are all needed daily and can be directly redeemed using energy.
It is reported that Beijing City will explore and carry out low-carbon travel carbon inclusive projects in 2021, release a low-carbon travel carbon emission reduction methodology (trial), and encourage platform companies to develop projects based on the methodology.
Since then, many companies have actively responded and participated. As project units, Gaode, Baidu, and Didi have applied for and implemented low-carbon travel and carbon inclusive projects based on methodology. After citizens register, they only need to use the corresponding platform to conduct paths when traveling in green travel methods such as public transportation, subway, and bicycle. Planning and navigation, and you can get the corresponding carbon energy after the trip is over. Carbon energy can be exchanged for diversified rewards and feedback to the public who practices green travel.
Since its launch, the cumulative number of green trips has exceeded 100 million. More and more people are practicing a natural, environmentally friendly, frugal and healthy lifestyle while fully enjoying the convenience and comfort brought by green development.
Hebei
In midsummer, in the Summer Resort Scenic Area of Chengde City, Hebei Province, from electronic tickets to enter the scenic area to electronic tour maps, to electric sightseeing buses around the mountains... the scenic area encourages the public to visit green and low-carbon tourism and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
At present, including the Carbon Inclusive Carbon Reduction Product Project in the Summer Resort Scenic Area, Hebei Province has completed a total of 26 carbon reduction product projects in 2023, with a total certified scale of nearly 7 million tons.
In recent years, Hebei Province has attached great importance to the work of carbon inclusion. While striving to create a unified carbon inclusion system for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, it has also combined innovation in the value realization mechanism of carbon-reduction products to fully promote the development and value transformation of carbon inclusion projects.
At present, for residents 'low-carbon living consumption scenarios, Hebei Province has formulated standards for identifying carbon inclusive and low-carbon living scenarios. It has compiled methodologies for carbon inclusive in Chengde City scenic spots and carbon inclusive for residential buildings and residential energy conservation, and organized the development and certification of more than 1700 tons of carbon inclusive and carbon reduction product projects in Chengde Summer Resort and more than 5100 tons of energy-saving and carbon inclusive projects in residential buildings on the water side of Qinhuangdao.
Tianjin
In August last year, Tianjin Rail Transit launched the "Rail Low-Carbon Travel Talent Pioneer List" activity. During the event, the organizers presented subway e-tickets to low-carbon travel people who used the "Tianjin Metro APP" to rank among the leading low-carbon travel mileage in Tianjin's rail transit code scanning, advocating "double carbon and double reduction" and encouraging passengers to travel low-carbon and green.
Recently, a Weixin Mini Programs called "Green Alliance Carbon Inclusive Platform" was launched in Tianjin, which can be based on users 'personal consumption, diet, travel, etc.XiTraditionally, calculations form a user's personal carbon emission report and form a personal "green ledger". The event has attracted a lot of attention since it was launched. It allows the public to have a clear idea of their own emission reduction links, quantity and potential, and gives practical value to the public consciously practicing a green lifestyle.
On the basis of three years of operation, in 2023, the Beijing City Ecological Environment Bureau will upgrade the above pilot methodology to Beijing local standards. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, Tianjin and Hebei have also simultaneously issued the "Technical Specifications for Carbon Inclusive Project Emission Reduction Accounting and Low-Carbon Travel". The implementation of the standard provides a standard basis for carrying out carbon inclusiveness and will further help The transportation sector is low-carbon and mobilized more social forces to voluntarily participate in carbon emission reduction activities.
