White Paper on Carbon Neutrality in Chinese Manufacturing Industry

Climate change poses severe threats to the global environment, society, and economy. At COP26, countries committed to combatting global warming, with China targets carbon peak by 2030 and neutrality by 2060. China's manufacturing industry plays a crucial role in achieving these goals. This white paper addresses China's current dual carbon policy, carbon trading market, carbon footprint accounting methods and standards, manufacturing performance evaluation standards, and research on manufacturing industry segments. It introduces the innovative full life cycle Möbius strip carbon neutral performance evaluation framework, which evaluates carbon neutrality across the organizational and product life cycle, guiding enterprises towards zero-carbon transformation. By incorporating the Möbius strip philosophy, the framework emphasizes the interconnected and continuous nature of low-carbon transformation. This white paper serves as an encyclopedia for the manufacturing industry's carbon-neutral journey, offering insights for sustainable development across various sectors.
