Sinopec Announces the Launch of Carbon Footprint Alliance to Drive Green Development in Energy and Chemicals
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions generated directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, product, or state over a period. Standing at the forefront of global climate actions with its world-beating new energy innovation and ambitious pledge for carbon emission control, China has set carbon footprint management as a top priority, having mapped out a plan to set up a comprehensive system designed to calculate, evaluate, and certify key product carbon footprints in the next few years.
Highlighting Sinopec's green strategy and its contributions to global low-carbon development targets in recent years,
Wan Tao , Deputy General Manager of Sinopec, noted that the company promotes the development of clean fossil fuels while expanding renewable energy use and carbon reduction in manufacturing processes. Together with alliance members, Sinopec aims to enhance collaboration, share information, and consolidate resources to establish a carbon footprint management system, steering the industry toward green and low-carbon development, he added.
Since 2015, Sinopec has led the way in product carbon footprint accounting within the industry, evaluating nearly 100 products across 40 companies. Sinopec has set up a plan to create a carbon footprint management system for its products, focusing on standards for carbon footprint accounting, database creation, and supply chain management. As of now, the company has completed the construction of carbon footprint information modules for six pilot enterprises and aims to extend the modules to all enterprises.
