NINGBO, China, March 10, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

In recent years, Ningbo, an eastern coastal city in China, has accumulated a

lot of experience and practices in various fields of 'emission peak and carbon

neutrality' such as the digital and intelligent energy management, the low

carbonization of industrial parks, the environmental protection of ports, and

the realization of 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', and

has achieved remarkable results." The NPC deputy who came to Beijing to

participate in the two National Sessions (NPC & CPPCC) this time, Ye Miao,

director of the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security,

brought the "Proposal on Facilitating Ningbo Building a Coastal Model City

based on the 'Emission Peak and Carbon Neutrality'".

This year's Report on the Work of the Government has mentioned: Continuing the

transition to green development. Pollution prevention and control should be

intensified. We should improve policies for green development, develop the

circular economy, promote efficient and intensive use of resources, advance

energy conservation and carbon reduction in key areas, and continue working to

keep our skies blue, waters clear, and lands clean. On the eve of the two

National Sessions, China's first blue carbon auction was held in Xiangshan,

Ningbo, which has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Blue

carbon, also known as blue carbon exchange reserves or marine carbon exchange

reserves, is a master of capturing carbon dioxide as well as a treasure trove

of storing carbon dioxide, and has a carbon storage cycle reaching several

thousand years. In the context of accelerating the construction of emission

peak and carbon neutrality, global blue carbon trading is becoming more and

more active. The first shot of the blue carbon trading has achieved success in

Xiangshan. It was Ningbo's first exploration to shape the national blue carbon

trading market, and it was also Ningbo's first beneficial exploration of the

practice of emission peak and carbon neutrality.

After the release of the major strategic deployment of "China strives to

achieve emission peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060", Ningbo has

striven effort fully with its actions and has taken the lead in the pilot

project of carbon credit evaluation services nationwide. Through the

construction of application scenarios, the carbon capabilities and carbon

assets of enterprises were comprehensively characterized, providing accurate

services for inclusive small and micro loans. "Residential photovoltaic

projects" realizing common prosperity for all in Longguan Township, Haishu

District, Ningbo, China use the industry models of photovoltaic villages to

awaken the "dozed" roof resources of the countryside, so that the green

industries can revitalize the rural areas. At the same time, Ningbo has also

promoted the high-quality development of green petrochemical industry clusters

by establishing a "chemical industry brain" as well as the dual-core engine of

"industrial brain + future factory". In 2022, chemical enterprises in Zhenhai

District have applied the energy consumption analysis of the chemical industry

brain to carry out 13 projects regarding equipment transformation and upgrading

as well as process optimization, saving about 5,000 tons of standard coal and

reducing carbon emissions by about 11,000 tons.

In 2023, Ningbo will co-ordinate the "four dimensions" of economic growth,

energy security, carbon emissions, and residents' lives, promote the carbon

reduction, pollution abatement, expansion of environmental protection and

growth accordantly, actively and steadily encourage the emission peak and

carbon neutrality, and implement the "Top Ten Actions for Emission Peak".
