Core Viewpoint - The establishment of the "Industrial Product Carbon Footprint Platform" marks a significant step in China's efforts to manage carbon emissions in industrial products, providing a comprehensive service for carbon footprint certification and green supply chain management [1][4]. Group 1: Platform Overview - The platform is based on real, large-scale enterprise measurement data and aims to enhance the green competitiveness of key industrial products in China [1][4]. - It serves as a strategic infrastructure for carbon footprint management, integrating data capability building, enterprise certification services, international mutual recognition cooperation, and policy decision support [4][6]. - The platform has already provided carbon footprint accounting and certification services to companies like BYD and JA Solar, achieving both domestic and international dual certification [6]. Group 2: Expert Contributions and Discussions - Experts from various fields discussed the challenges and strategies for building a product carbon footprint management system, emphasizing the importance of local databases in calculating carbon footprints [3]. - The platform is described as not just a calculation tool but an open, evolving ecosystem that supports green design, low-carbon supply chain management, and green finance services [3]. - The platform's local database calculated the carbon footprint of photovoltaic components to be about half of that found in international databases, highlighting its significance in enhancing green competitiveness [3].
