Date:2021-03

View:02

Recently, the Carbonstop team took an in-depth look at e-commerce enterprises, assessed the total carbon emissions of e-commerce, and compared the carbon emissions of online and offline shopping. In addition, the report on Total GHG Emissions of E-commerce Enterprises in China and the Report on Comparison of Online and offline Greenhouse Gas Emissions in China were published. The core conclusion: 1. According to a detailed calculation of carbon footprint, China's e-commerce generated 53.26 million tons of CO2e in 2019. In the next five years, it will maintain rapid growth, and it is estimated that the carbon emission from e-commerce will reach 116 million tons in 2025. 2. China's e-commerce carbon emission sources mainly include: packaging, accounting for 18%; Logistics, about 29 percent; Office, about 26%; Data centers, about 23 percent; Warehousing, about 4%. 3. Carbon emission sources of online shopping include transportation and express transportation, accounting for 29.16%; Architecture-office, accounting for 26.12%; Construction and warehousing, about 3.88%; Information-data center, about 22.78%, Information-consumer terminal power consumption, about 0.02%; Packaging - Express packaging, about 18.04%. 4. The main sources of carbon emissions from offline shopping include: transport-transportation before goods enter stores, accounting for 13.03%; transport-consumers’ traffic emissions, accounting for 35.87%; construction-store operation (generally including office), accounting for 47.11%; and packaging-plastic bags, accounting for 1.05%. 5. According to the study and calculation of carbon footprint, online shopping is lower than offline shopping, and the carbon emission of an online purchase and an offline purchase of the same goods are 1094.92gCO2e and 1360.24gCO2e respectively. In recent years, with the continuous development of e-commerce, its scale continues to expand, its importance in the national economy is becoming increasingly prominent, the living penetration rate of residents is becoming higher and higher, but the rapid development has also brought a series of environmental problems and energy problems. China has announced that it will peak carbon emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060, making it one of the eight key tasks for 2021. Then, how much impact does e-commerce have on carbon emissions, and how does e-commerce contribute to the realization of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality"? The CREO carbon neutralization pathway proposed by the Carbonstop team involves quantifying your carbon emissions first, i.e. Calculating them all. Only after we know our own emissions, can we take appropriate mitigation actions to lay a solid foundation for achieving carbon neutral. The total amount study mainly evaluates the carbon emissions of e-commerce from five areas: packaging, logistics, data center, office and storage. The study found that e-commerce generates 53.26 million tons of carbon emissions a year, accounting for 2.5 percent of the total emissions from the tertiary industry, and about 10 billion trees are needed annually to neutralize its carbon emissions. Among them, logistics 15.54 million tons, accounting for 29 percent; 13.92 million tons of office work, or 26%; 12.14 million tons, or 23%, for data centers; Packaging 9.61 million tons, accounting for 18%; Warehousing 2.07 million tons, accounting for 4%.   Emissions Forecast by 2025 - China's express delivery volume is expected to reach 150 billion pieces in 2025, up 80% in five years from more than 80 billion pieces in 2020, according to the forecast. If no measures are taken, it is estimated that the carbon emissions of e-commerce enterprises will reach over 116 million tons in 2025, accounting for 1.1% of China's total emissions in 2025. Compared with 2020, the emissions will increase by about 50 million tons in five years, with a growth rate of 73% and an average annual growth rate of 14.7%. According to the analysis, China's projected emissions increase during the 14th five-year plan period is only 200 million tons, and the emission increase of e-commerce enterprises will account for 25% of China's emissions increase during the 14th five-year plan period. The main conclusions of the Report on Comparison of Online and offline Greenhouse Gas Emissions in China are as follows: 1. Based on the basic conditions in the article, online shopping is lower in carbon emission than offline shopping. The carbon emission of an online purchase and an offline purchase of the same item is 1094.92gCO2e and 1360.24gCO2e respectively. 2. Carbon emission sources of online shopping include: traffic-express transportation, accounting for 29.16%; building-office, 26.12%; building-storage, 3.88%; information-data center, 22.78%; information-consumer terminal power consumption, about 0.02%; package-express packaging, about 18.04%. 3. The main sources of carbon emissions from offline shopping include: transport-transportation before goods enter stores, accounting for 13.03%; transport-consumers’ traffic emissions, accounting for 35.87%; construction-store operation (generally including office), accounting for 47.11%; and packaging-plastic bags, accounting for 1.05%. 4. Carbon emissions from online and offline shopping are grouped into four main areas: transportation, construction, information and packaging. For transportation, the online total is about 319.30gCO2e, and the offline total is about 665.14gCO2e. Construction: online total 328.50gCO2e, offline total 684.10gCO2e. In the information section, online emissions total 249.63GCo2E, while offline emissions may include inventory management systems, which are included in all energy consumption calculations for building operations. Not considering the packaging of the goods themselves, but only considering the extra packaging part in the shopping process, the online emission is 197.49gCO2e, and the offline emission is about 11.00gCO2e. 5. The calculation is based on the average shopping situation, and the carbon emission of specific products will be closely related to the actual process. The specific emission value will be related to the type of product, the place of delivery of shopping goods, express transportation, whether the cold chain is needed, the actual energy consumption level of the building, users' travel habits, and the number of users' purchase orders in a single trip, etc.

Recently, Mr. Yan Luhui, CEO and Founder of Carbonstop, was invited by the United Nations Global Compact Young SDG Innovators Program to share the topic of "Carbon Neutral and Corporate Carbon Management in China" online. The UN Global Compact Young SDG Innovators Program was launched in 2019 to help young leaders of UN Global Compact member companies learn how to use the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and new technologies to develop new products, services and business models. To help participating companies improve communication, collaboration and innovation in cross-sector sustainability efforts, further transfer SDGs into social and economic values, and develop future leadership for sustainable development. Mr.Yan detailed analysis for everybody in the share of China's carbon neutral commitment as well as the recent various carbon neutral policy, and detailed explained the necessity of enterprise to go carbon neutral. Enterprises should start from six aspects   1. Obtain the support of the top leadership to establish a carbon management team 2. Conduct a comprehensive carbon inventory of the company 3. Tool support. Enterprises should have comprehensive carbon management software covering the group level 4. Plan and disclose the company's carbon reduction actions 5. Manage carbon asset  6. Disclose carbon emission timely Companies are the basic building blocks of social and economic activities, which constitute the absolute major source of carbon emissions. More and more companies, cities, and some countries have put forward their own carbon neutral target timetables. On January 25, 2021, President Xi jinping in the world economy forum "Davos agenda" said: "achieving 2030 carbon peak and 2060 carbon neutral, China need to be extremely arduous effort". At the end of the sharing, Mr.Yan introduced Carbonstop. Carbonstop is the first provider of carbon emission management software and consulting services in China, and has provided professional carbon management solutions for thousands of well-known enterprises. Carbonstop has always had a desire to connect people with the environment, and the way we do that is by making every product have its own carbon footprint.

Make the ubiquitous carbon digital -the carbon emission factor database

Date:2021-01

View:29

It's an amazing tool, where every product in life has a carbon footprint. Unveil the carbon emission factor database with numbers:   "1". Industry No.1: China's first carbon emission factor database Among the methods for calculating carbon footprint, the simplest and most accessible method is the IPCC method. After knowing the emission factor, the carbon emission can be directly calculated by using the formula "carbon emission = activity data x emission factor". However, due to the differences in production process, regional distribution and technical level, there are emission factor data of the whole network in addition to the emission factor data released by IPCC, and various countries and industries also have their own emission factor data to calculate carbon emissions. In order to let more industries and enterprises understand carbon emission and implement carbon emission reduction, carbon emission factor database emerged.   "2". Wide coverage: The database covers more than 200 countries    "3". Convenient retrieval: mass data are screened from three categories: year, country and industry Because there are so many different regions, versions and standards of data, when searching the same thing we may get a lot of different data. Under the Filter button, we can retrieve massive data from three categories of "year", "country" and "industry", so that the most appropriate data can be found at the fastest speed.     "4". Unit details: key data are marked from four dimensions The units of key data will be labeled from different dimensions, such as CO2 equivalent, CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide, so that users can use them on demand.     "5". Three-dimensional presentation: Data is presented in five levels Take the iPhone XR as an example, the data are presented in five levels: name (iPhone XR), remarks (64GB), data value (68), source (Apple official website (2019) -- product carbon footprint), unit (KGCO2E).   "6". Widely praised: universities, research institutes, companies, government agencies, NGOs, environmental activists    There are six types of people who consult the database of carbon emission factors, including researchers from universities and research institutes, practitioners of low-carbon environmental protection from companies and government agencies, NGOs and environmentalists.   "7". The cornerstone of the company: the carbon emission factor database supports the carbon accounting projects of the seven major brands   Alibaba Project   Baidu Project Jingdong Project UN Starbucks Microsoft Project   "8". Wide field: data covers 8 major industries The figures include eight major sectors for carbon trading: electricity power, aviation, building materials, steel, petrochemicals, chemicals, nonferrous metals, paper, and other services industries.   "9". Rich data: more than 90,000 pieces of data     Ccloud CCloud integrates nearly 100,000 pieces of emission factor data accumulated over nine years of Carbonstop. Users can clearly view and use the data in the database, including the corresponding source, year and other additional information, which is convenient and fast. Ccloud is a carbon footprint assessment software launched by Carbonstop.It follows the life cycle concept and is designed in accordance with international common standards such as ISO and PAS, and covers the whole industry.   In addition to calculating the carbon footprint, the software also calculates how much carbon it can reduce under different conditions. According to the modularized operation, the user can calculate the carbon footprint or emission reduction of the product by selecting the stage, adding activity data and emission factors. Can query energy, raw materials, waste and other emission factors, and through the country, year and other information screening emission factor data. In addition, the user input destination and departure to query the transportation mileage; You can input product information, such as activity data, activity data sources, etc., to automatically generate the word version of the report compiled according to ISO standards. Carbon emission factor data and Ccloud have gained the favor of more and more enterprises, including a lot of outsiders, Carbonstop welcomes the industry inside and outside the relevant people come to consult the carbon emission factor database information. Scientific research institutions and public welfare organizations can enjoy free VIP service, enterprises welcome business consultation and cooperation negotiations. Contact: mail@carbonstop.net
