Jiaxing City's Path to Carbon Neutrality: Policies and Strategies for Sustainable Development
Key Ideas
- Jiaxing City is prioritizing carbon footprint management by establishing a system for industries like hydrogen energy, promoting 'carbon footprint labeling' for products, and expanding carbon sink absorption channels.
- Efforts are underway to optimize industrial structure by developing emerging industries like intelligent PV, IoT, NEVs, and focusing on future energy sectors including hydrogen energy storage.
- Policies include deepening the 'dual carbon' certification system, supporting enterprises with high energy consumption to improve efficiency, and aiming to reduce carbon emission intensity by at least 4.97% by 2025.
- The city's initiatives aim to lay a foundation for achieving carbon peak targets during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, emphasizing a green and low-carbon transformation across various sectors for sustainable development.
The Jiaxing Municipal Development and Reform Commission in Zhejiang, China, has issued the 'Key Points of Work for Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality in Jiaxing City by 2025,' emphasizing sustainable development strategies. The document outlines the importance of strengthening carbon footprint management in industries such as 'chemicals - chemical fibers - textiles' and 'hydrogen energy,' aiming to establish a regional characteristic factor database and promote 'carbon footprint labeling.' The city plans to prioritize purchasing products with local carbon footprint labels and expand carbon sink absorption channels. Additionally, Jiaxing City aims to optimize its industrial structure by developing leading emerging industries like intelligent PV, IoT, and NEVs, while focusing on future energy sectors such as hydrogen energy storage. The policies include deepening the 'dual carbon' certification system, supporting energy-efficient enterprises, and aiming to reduce carbon emission intensity by 4.97% by 2025. These initiatives are part of the city's efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and sustainable economic growth, aligning with national objectives for a green and low-carbon transformation.
