State Council: establish and improve carbon peak and carbon neutralization standards to raise energy consumption limits for key products
The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the outline for the Development of National Standardization. The outline mentions the establishment and improvement of carbon peak and carbon neutralization standards. We will speed up the updating and upgrading of energy conservation standards, step up efforts to revise a number of energy consumption quotas and mandatory national standards for energy efficiency of products and equipment, raise the requirements for energy consumption quotas for key products, and expand the coverage of energy consumption quota standards. improve energy accounting, testing and certification, evaluation, audit and other supporting standards.
China will speed up the improvement of carbon emissions verification and accounting standards for regions, industries, enterprises, products, and so on. We will formulate greenhouse gas emission standards for key industries and products, and improve the standard labeling system for low-carbon products. We will improve the standards for renewable energy, and study and formulate standards for ecological carbon sequestration, carbon capture, utilization and storage. Implement the standardized upgrading project of carbon peak and carbon neutralization.
The outline mentions that we should strengthen the construction of basic standards for core basic components (components), advanced basic processes, key basic materials and industrial technology, and strengthen the development and application of basic general standards. Carry out database and other standards, improve the level of standard design, and formulate safe, reliable and international advanced general technical standards.
