Zhitong Finance App learned that recently, the China Communications Standardization Association Big Data Technology Standards Promotion Committee Digital Dual Carbon Working Group (CCSA TC601WG13), Trusted Blockchain Promotion Program (TBI), China Internet Association Blockchain Technology Application Working Committee, and hosted by NAAS.US (NAAS.US), a salon event with the theme “Public Carbon Reduction and Digital Integration: Opportunities, Challenges and Innovation” was successfully held in Beijing. The event focused on the current status, models and industry pain points of carbon-inclusive development in scenarios such as public transportation, new energy vehicle charging services, and green finance, and discussed topics such as “how to increase public enthusiasm to participate in carbon reduction actions” and “innovation of carbon-inclusive business models, trading mechanisms and incentives”.

On the scene, Pang Weiwei, Deputy Director of the Big Data and Intelligence Department of the Cloud Computing and Big Data Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology; Zhai Yubo, General Manager of the Carbon Neutrality Division of Nengchain Holdings and Co-Chairman of CCSA TC601WG13; Liu Shu, Chairman of Wuhan Carbon Inclusion Management Co., Ltd.; Fang Yu, Deputy General Manager of China CITIC Bank Credit Card Center; Qiu Shaolong, Product Director of the “Green Carbon Bank/Shanghai Carbon Bank” carbon inclusion platform product director, Chen Chong, Alibaba Cloud Computing Solution Expert, Ma Qingjia, China Automobile Data Co., Ltd. Xu Bin They also attended the conference and shared carbon inclusion practices and experiences of their respective platforms and scenarios.

Experts at the meeting believe that the application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence can effectively improve the accuracy of carbon emission monitoring, accelerate carbon emission reduction, the development and application of carbon assets, and enhance dual carbon management capabilities. Zhai Yubo shared “Innovative Carbon Inclusion Practices for New Energy Charging”. He said that Nengchain Smart Electronics has promoted carbon inclusion practices in the new energy charging scenario through digital technology platforms and widely connected charging service networks. The company has used digital technology to build a carbon-inclusive digital finance platform to provide full-process online services for charging pile owners and charging vehicle owners to ensure that users' green rights receive actual benefits.

Since China proposed the “double carbon” target, all provinces and cities have actively promoted the establishment of a public carbon inclusion platform mechanism system. Carbon inclusion has become an effective way to mobilize the public to carry out low-carbon, zero-carbon, and carbon-negative actions, and remarkable results have also been achieved. However, the promotion of carbon inclusion still faces pain points that need to be addressed urgently, such as insufficient incentives for public participation, inconsistent carbon accounting standards/methodologies, difficulties in monetizing carbon asset transactions, unconnected platforms, and the need to improve cross-city and cross-regional policies for carbon inclusion. In comparison, transportation is a carbon inclusion promotion scene with the highest level of public recognition and participation due to its high carbon reduction value and clear emission reduction accounting methods.

Relying on tens of millions of NEV owners served by its strategic partner Fast Electric Power, and a wide range of public charging stations, charging guns, and NEV systems, Nengchain Smart Electric actively participated in research on carbon emission reduction methodologies and carbon asset trading model innovation for NEV charging services. The company pioneered the establishment of carbon accounts for electric vehicle charging in the industry. Users obtain carbon credits through charging and are included in the carbon ledger. The earned carbon credits can be exchanged for points in the carbon mall, achieving a closed loop of carbon emission reduction transactions and greatly increasing the willingness of car owners to travel green. By the end of 2023, the number of users of Fast Electric using carbon accounts had reached 0.594 million.

Nengchain Smart Electronics has also completed integration cooperation with several carbon inclusive service platforms led by local governments, further expanding the coverage of electric vehicle charging service scenarios, including Beijing's “Green Living Season”, Chongqing's “Carbon Huitong”, Sichuan Chengdu “Carbon Huitianfu”, Shanxi's “Sanjin Green Life”, Sichuan Luzhou “Green Bud Credit Card”, Guangzhou Carbon Inclusion, and “China CITIC Bank Credit Card Carbon Account”; in July of this year, Nengchain Smart joined the first carbon inclusive city cooperation alliance in China as the first batch of members, and joined the first carbon inclusive city cooperation alliance in China at the end of last year. On site, in collaboration with 10 companies and organizations The “2023 Carbon Inclusion White Paper” was jointly released to help the public participate in the development of carbon emission reduction.
