July 27, by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the United Nations Compact Organization (UNGC) co-authored research report "Corporate Carbon Neutrality Roadmap-Implementation of the Paris Agreement" and The Road to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals" was officially released in Beijing.
report pointed out that the most intensive emissions on the energy use side are the six infrastructure industries of transportation, agri-food, industrial manufacturing, construction, digital information, and financial services, and the current process of companies formulating a carbon neutral roadmap There are three key links: carbon baseline inventory, emission reduction target setting, and emission reduction measures design.
Boston’s managing director and global senior partner Wu Xinyi stated at the press conference that conducting carbon inventories and determining carbon emission baselines are the first steps for companies to achieve carbon neutral transformation, and setting up greenhouse gas reduction Emission targets, companies need to consider the four dimensions of clarifying the ambition of the emission reduction target, clearly selecting the target type, determining the scope of the target, and formulating a detailed emission reduction schedule. At present, most companies are far from carbon peak, carbon neutral There is still a big distance from the target.
In the process of corporate planning carbon neutrality roadmap, the design of decarbonization measures is a key link. The aforementioned six infrastructure industries account for about 70% of global emissions, which will affect humans in the process of net-zero transformation. Every aspect of society has a decisive influence.
On July 16, the nationwide carbon emission rights trading market was officially opened, and the market pricing mechanism for carbon emission rights was further improved. Although the participating industries and trading entities of the national carbon market are currently restricted,At present, new energy companies have not yet been included in the domestic carbon trading market, but many analysts have expressed optimism about the opportunities in the new energy industry. As an important supplier of carbon emission rights, the new energy industry will have the opportunity to increase corporate profits. The
report pointed out that while implementing the carbon neutrality roadmap, forward-looking companies should also plan ahead and invest in climate technology, including autonomous driving technology, carbon capture, utilization and storage technology, electric vehicle technology, and storage technology. Energy technology, hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology, thermal insulation materials, high-efficiency photovoltaic power generation materials, offshore wind power technology, and superconducting technology are the nine potential investment directions for climate technology.
