On February 21, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued the Guidelines for the Construction of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Standard System in the Industrial Sector, which aims to guide leading enterprises, scientific research institutes, social groups, testing and certification institutions, industry low-carbon standardization technology organizations, and local industry and information technology authorities to actively participate in standardization work and promote enterprises to achieve low-carbon transformation. In particular, the Guidelines point out that the greenhouse gas emission verification standard must cover four key aspects: organizational greenhouse gas emission verification, project greenhouse gas emission reduction verification, product carbon footprint verification, and greenhouse gas agency personnel verification qualification and ability requirements. Organizing GHG emissions verification requires accurate accounting of GHG emissions at the organizational level, including the principles, basis, procedures and reporting requirements for verification. Together, these requirements build a transparent and reliable framework that ensures that all data is accurate.
Project GHG emission reduction verification is for those projects that are committed to reducing emissions, and will specify in detail how the claimed emission reductions of the project will be verified. This includes not only an assessment of the project design, but also a comprehensive monitoring of the implementation process and the effectiveness of the emission reduction, so as to ensure that the actual emission reduction contribution of the project is fairly recognized. Product carbon footprint verification is also an integral part. The product carbon footprint will describe the total amount of greenhouse gases produced by a product throughout its life cycle, from the acquisition of raw materials to production, distribution, use, and final disposal, aiming to standardize the calculation and reporting process of the product carbon footprint, so that consumers and stakeholders can understand the true environmental impact of the product. The verification qualification and ability requirements of greenhouse gas agency personnel provide a guarantee for the formulation and implementation of carbon emission verification standards. The Bureau's Carbon Cloud Management Center understands that the institutions and individuals that carry out the verification work must have the corresponding qualifications and capabilities. This includes requirements for accreditation of verification bodies, the professional background of team members, and individual training and experience. The Guidelines not only help to enhance the environmental image and market competitiveness of enterprises, but also provide a fair evaluation and recognition platform for all parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Verification standards play a crucial role in addressing the challenge of global climate change. Carbon emissions management
