陈超凡：建好零碳园区破解绿色壁垒

Core Viewpoint - The establishment of zero-carbon parks is a significant strategic initiative for China to achieve its "dual carbon" goals and respond to international green trade barriers, aiming to enhance the competitiveness of its foreign trade [1][2]. Group 1: Zero-Carbon Park Development - The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the National Energy Administration have issued a notice to support the construction of zero-carbon parks in qualified regions, outlining eight key tasks [1]. - The construction of zero-carbon parks is seen as a critical vehicle for coordinating energy transition, technological and institutional innovation, and industrial upgrading [2]. Group 2: Green Trade Challenges - Green trade is becoming a significant feature of the new international economic order, with the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism set to be implemented in 2026, which will impact China's steel, aluminum, and potentially downstream industries [2]. - China's exports to the EU are substantial, with imports from China expected to reach €517.8 billion in 2024, accounting for 21.3% of total imports from non-EU countries [2]. Group 3: Carbon Data Management - There is a need to establish a standardized carbon emission data management platform that covers the entire process of carbon emission collection, accounting, verification, and reporting [3]. - Utilizing technologies such as blockchain and big data, a traceable system for energy consumption and carbon footprints of export products should be developed [3]. Group 4: Green Certification and Standards - The establishment of an internationally recognized "green label" system is proposed, with zero-carbon parks as pilot projects to promote green certification cooperation with major trading partners [4]. - The integration of green electricity consumption standards with international accounting and certification systems is essential for enhancing compliance and market access [4]. Group 5: Green Trade Financial Support - A green trade financial support system is needed to explore the "green production through green means" model, ensuring low-carbon attributes in both energy and products [5]. - The development of specialized financial products such as green loans, green insurance, and green bonds for export enterprises in zero-carbon parks is encouraged to attract more social capital for low-carbon transformation [5].
