Li Lihui, former president of Bank of China, said, "In the green financial product market such as carbon emission trading, whether it is the direct trading of carbon emission rights or the trading of derivatives such as carbon futures, carbon financial products should be effectively priced according to the actual price in the sales market, and the agreed standards should be implemented. The digital RMB loaded in the smart contract can be used as a smart charging tool and a means of payment. "
In addition, to achieve the overall goal of "double carbon", it is necessary to stimulate the initiative of many people, and the best way is to implement low-carbon environmental protection incentive policies. Digital RMB can be loaded into smart contracts, which can enable individuals or organizations to start the reward mechanism when they meet certain low-carbon environmental protection standards. Therefore, digital RMB is undoubtedly an indispensable part of financial innovation.
Digital RMB has become low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and related activities or applications have been released. Digital RMB as a payment method for carbon emissions trading In March 2022, Sichuan Branch of China Construction Bank helped the "One Point" carbon neutral service platform of Sichuan United Environment Exchange to start the digital RMB payment function, and Sichuan Electronic Information Industry Technology Research Institute purchased carbon credits based on digital RMB to offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated by its large-scale activities and complete carbon neutrality. It is understood that it is a national carbon neutral industry digital RMB online payment transaction.
In June, 2022, the first activity of "Carbon Sequestration Trading in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Helps Rural Areas, and Digital RMB is bought by ten thousand people" was launched. On that day, tens of thousands of people bought the agricultural carbon sinks in Lianhua Town on the digital RMB line of Agricultural Bank of China according to the employment system of "agricultural carbon sinks+digital RMB+rural revitalization" on the agricultural carbon sinks trading service platform of Xiamen Property Rights Exchange Center.
On July 30, 2022, 2022 Qingdao China Fortune Forum was unveiled. The conference group of the community forum paid for the carbon emission reduction of the "Green Carbon Bank", a Qingdao carbon inclusive service platform, in digital RMB to neutralize the carbon emission generated by this community forum. As a low-carbon and environmentally-friendly monetary tool or payment method, digital RMB is integrated with carbon emissions trading and carbon sinks, which complement each other.
