What does dual carbon refer to in the dual carbon policy?

Double carbon refers to carbon peak and carbon neutrality

Carbon peak means that at a certain point in time, carbon dioxide emissions no longer increase and reach a peak, and then gradually fall back. .

Carbon neutrality means that enterprises, groups or individuals measure the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly produced within a certain period of time, and offset the carbon dioxide they produce through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction. emissions to achieve “zero emissions” of carbon dioxide.

The "double carbon" strategy advocates a green, environmentally friendly, and low-carbon lifestyle. Accelerating the pace of reducing carbon emissions will help guide green technology innovation and improve the global competitiveness of industry and economy. China continues to promote the adjustment of its industrial structure and energy structure, vigorously develops renewable energy, accelerates the planning and construction of large-scale wind power and photovoltaic base projects in desert, Gobi, and desert areas, and strives to balance economic development and green transformation simultaneously.

What is the goal of "double carbon"?

"Double carbon" is the abbreviation of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. "Carbon peak" means that emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide have reached their highest peak and will no longer increase. my country has pledged to strive for "carbon peaking" before 2030, that is, by 2030, greenhouse gas emissions generated by fossil energy combustion activities such as coal, oil, and natural gas and industrial and production processes, as well as land use changes, forestry, and other activities (also Greenhouse gas emissions, including greenhouse gas emissions caused by the use of purchased electricity and heat, will no longer grow and reach a peak.

"Carbon neutrality" refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced directly or indirectly within a certain period of time, which can be absorbed and offset by equal amounts through carbon sinks, carbon capture, carbon storage and other technologies. my country is committed to working hard to achieve this goal. Strive to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2060, that is, to significantly reduce total carbon emissions through industrial optimization, energy transformation, and technological innovation. Through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, carbon dioxide reuse, carbon capture, carbon storage and other technical forms, we will absorb Carbon dioxide, offset the necessary carbon dioxide emissions in equal amounts to achieve "zero emissions" of carbon dioxide.

Legal Basis

"Opinions on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good job in peaking carbon neutrality" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") and "Carbon Reduction Before 2030" Peak Action Plan

Carbon peaking means that at a certain point in time, carbon dioxide emissions stop growing and reach a peak, and then gradually fall back.

Carbon neutrality refers to the measurement of the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced directly or indirectly by an enterprise, group or individual within a certain period of time, and offsets the carbon dioxide produced by itself through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction. emissions to achieve “zero emissions” of carbon dioxide.
