Study on carbon footprint of China's LED industry in Foshan"

"The eighteen Party Congress, the ecological civilization construction in a prominent position, into all aspects of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and the whole process, which means that in the other four construction in time to consider ecological problems. "Green low-carbon development held in Foshan yesterday to the first thousand Entrepreneurs Conference, the NPC Environmental and Resources Protection Committee Director of the bill Zhai Yong said.

"The project" Research on the carbon footprint of the LED industry Chinese officially launched at the conference, the project will be through the establishment of the whole industry chain carbon labeling system LED, optimize the development of the industry, to avoid international trade barriers, the LED industry keep pace with the world's advanced countries development.

LED industry will study the "carbon footprint""

"Carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon emissions in the whole life cycle of a product. We study the carbon footprint to study whether a product's life cycle is low carbon, and then the corresponding carbon label. Professor of South China University of Technology, the president of the Institute of semiconductor lighting, the text is still Sheng explained to the author.

Carbon footprint is largely from European and American trade "carbon barrier" pressure. At present, many of our LED products are exported to Japan and Europe and the United States, which leads to the problem of carbon content of international trade products, which is the carbon footprint of international trade products. The carbon footprint of international trade has long been neglected in traditional international trade studies. In recent years, climate change and environmental protection have been paid more and more attention by the international community. "

On the other hand, China has been in Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hubei and Guangdong and other 6 provinces to carry out carbon trading pilot work. Carbon trading requires the establishment of carbon emissions data monitoring, carbon footprint and carbon label certification to ensure the quality of traded goods, thereby contributing to fair trade. Carbon labeling and carbon footprint can provide a basis for carbon trading certification, but also an effective way to deal with trade barriers in Europe and america.

According to reports, the implementation and application of LED industrial carbon labels can explore LED carbon labeling system and the establishment of China with independent intellectual property rights in theory, through the organization, planning, the scientific establishment and implementation of the carbon label system, and promote the healthy development of LED industry. In the application, enterprises can actively use LED production of carbon emission assessment techniques and methods to reduce carbon emissions of products or services, improve the competitiveness of enterprises. At the same time, the application of LED carbon label can guide consumers' rational consumption concept, choose the products with lower carbon emission, so as to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Thousands of enterprises to form a volunteer team to explore green development

Carbon footprint research shows the urgency of green and low-carbon development. The industrial structure with high pollution and high emission is one of the most important industries. On the one hand, it consumes a lot of natural resources in our country. On the other hand, it is difficult to improve the industrial competitiveness and international competitiveness of our country. Zhai Yong said.

Vice mayor of Foshan Liu Wei think, Foshan proposed to build an innovative city, the development of innovation driven Foshan as a primary strategy, driven by innovation and realize green development shows, but not great power to industrial transformation and upgrading, the main way is to build the core competitiveness of Foshan in the future.

Yesterday's meeting, Foshan District of Chancheng city green folk charity organization "green alliance", Xinhua busilligence MBA Foshan student association established the "green volunteer service teams, thousands of enterprises to make a declaration of commitment to establish green development, green development concept," into the enterprise green development strategy to address climate change and low carbon development, and increase the "green" technology research and promotion efforts, the implementation of cleaner production, the development of energy-saving products, to provide services to achieve low-carbon, green production, operation and management.

It is understood that, in October 2011, Chancheng started the construction of low-carbon pilot areas in Guangdong, as an important part of low-carbon pilot areas, green Walker alliance caused widespread concern. In fact, this kind of non-governmental organizations in foreign countries have more practice, but in domestic cities, such as Foshan, such as the government led by the government to promote less and less. The model is through business model innovation, construction stakeholders (i.e. all participate in low carbon activities of the unit or individual) resource allocation mechanism of win-win situation, constructing the interests of "low carbon behavior sustainable ecological chain".

NPC Environmental and Resources Protection Committee, director of the bill Zhai Yong:

Low carbon development is a win-win

"From a long-term low carbon development is a win-win. When the real effective use of resources, the reduction of pollutants, sales of enterprise products will increase. For the country and the society, the environmental benefits and economic benefits are also win-win. Zhai Yong said that in the early stages of development, the company's investment and income will indeed exist contradictions. On this issue, the state will give enterprises compensation through preferential tax policies.

He believes that energy-saving emission reduction must be rational dialectical view. "Saving is aimed at waste, in the case of no waste is reasonable use, no need to save. If you do not look at the dialectical savings will result in the savings here at the Department of waste, the overall savings of the results of local waste. "Zhai Yong said that energy-saving emission reduction must be scientific, energy conservation is not absolute, is relative, and efficiency, reasonable is absolute. The meaning of saving priority is efficiency first, not blindly saving.
