My country publishes carbon footprint data for nearly 1,400 car models
The China Auto Industry Chain Carbon Publicity Platform has been officially launched recently, and data from dozens of auto companies have been collected on this platform. The carbon footprint data of the first batch of nearly 1,400 models was released yesterday (June 19).
The China Auto Industry Chain Carbon Publicity Platform is the first data platform in the country to reflect the carbon footprint of automobile products. Judging from the carbon footprint data of nearly 1,400 models released this time, the average carbon footprint is 259.67 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Divided by fuel type, the carbon footprint of pure electric vehicles is the lowest at 192.75 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer; The carbon footprint is the highest at 399.07 grams of CO2 per kilometer. It can be seen that electrification plays a key role in reducing the carbon footprint of automobiles. In addition, based on the low-carbon models announced this time, automobile manufacturers have adopted low-carbon innovative technologies at different stages through coordinated development of green design, green materials, green production, and green recycling, and a variety of low-carbon models have emerged. Carbon models.
Zhao Dongchang, General Manager of China Automobile Carbon (Beijing) Digital Technology Center: In the future, the data collection of the platform will be more abundant, and the released carbon emission reduction information of automobile products will be more transparent. In addition, entrusted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other competent authorities, we are already conducting carbon label research.
China Automobile Center said that through the study of carbon labels, it will promote the development of low-carbon models in the automobile industry. In the future, my country will issue and paste carbon footprint labels on automobile products, so that consumers can more clearly identify green and low-carbon products.
What is carbon footprint and carbon label?
Carbon footprint refers to the carbon dioxide emissions generated during the whole process of a product from birth to end-of-life. Carbon labeling refers to informing consumers of the carbon emissions generated during the production process of commodities in the form of labels.
