Reduce the energy cost of power consumption
With the end of the Copenhagen World Climate Conference held on June 5438+February 19, 2009, it clearly indicates that the low-carbon era has come, and all countries and enterprises will soon be involved in this low-carbon trend. At the two sessions in March, low carbon, energy saving and environmental protection also became one of the hot topics for delegates.
Low carbon economy is one of the most popular words in recent years. Just a few years ago, many people may have never heard of the term "low-carbon economy", but now, this term is everywhere, even the aunt of the neighbor will say it. The so-called low-carbon economy is a green economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Its core is to promote the development and application of energy efficiency improvement technology, energy saving technology, renewable energy technology and greenhouse gas emission reduction technology, and to promote the transformation of the whole social economy to the mode of high energy efficiency, low energy consumption and low carbon emission.
At present, many countries in the world, including China, are actively developing low-carbon economy and have set off a low-carbon economic revolution. Taking China as an example, we are not only vigorously adjusting the industrial structure of the energy industry, increasing the proportion of emerging energy sources such as wind power generation, solar power generation and nuclear power generation, but also reducing the proportion of thermal power generation, so as to make the energy industry develop in the direction of low carbon and non-carbonization. We also actively develop low-carbon new materials, life sciences, biomedicine, information networks, space ocean development and geological exploration, and strive to reduce carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40% in 2020 compared with 2005.
Draw a perfect carbon footprint
In low-carbon economy, enterprises play a decisive role. This is because compared with individuals, enterprises undoubtedly have greater energy consumption and carbon emissions. At the same time, as individuals, most of the day is spent in enterprises, and their energy consumption and carbon emissions are also closely related to their enterprises. Therefore, in order to actively participate in the low-carbon economy, enterprises should start from me, fulfill their civic responsibilities, pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection from all aspects of enterprises, and draw a clear carbon footprint.
The easiest thing to do is that enterprises can control the air conditioning temperature (not too low in summer and not too high in winter) according to national requirements, and adopt energy-saving lamps and other measures to achieve the effect of energy saving and emission reduction. Further, IT is to strengthen the monitoring of carbon footprint of IT products. With the continuous improvement of office automation and informatization, enterprises are increasingly dependent on IT products, and there are more and more IT equipment. If you look around, IT is not difficult to find that employees in enterprises spend most of their time using various IT equipment (such as computers, printers, networks and other products), and enterprises must also pay attention to the important role of these IT products in energy conservation and emission reduction.
In fact, with the widespread popularity of computers and other products in enterprises, the carbon emissions of these products are also rising in the whole carbon emissions-data show that the carbon emissions of ICT industry (information and communication technology industry, including IT industry and communication industry) were 530 million tons in 2002, and this figure will soon climb to 65.438+0.43 billion tons in 2020, accounting for 4% of the total carbon emissions. This is undoubtedly a huge number. As an enterprise, we must choose those green and energy-saving IT products and use advanced information technology to reduce energy consumption.
For example, enterprises can choose computers or servers with high overall performance-to-power ratio to reduce overall power consumption. At the same time, more consideration should be given to similar computer and server products with power conversion efficiency over 90%, which can perfectly and effectively reduce power consumption. Alternatively, enterprises can use laptops instead of desktops, thus reducing overall power consumption.
In the construction of enterprise network environment, enterprises can also make it greener through various strategies. For example, enterprises can use wireless LAN instead of wired LAN, which can reduce cables, energy consumption and environmental pollution. More importantly, enterprises should pay attention to the choice of green products when choosing network equipment-compared with PC, most network equipment such as switches and routers need to run 24 hours, which requires more attention to the green energy-saving characteristics of products. Therefore, the adoption of HP ProCurve series network products with high energy efficiency and low heat dissipation will greatly reduce energy consumption and power cost, greatly improve the return on investment and depict a perfect carbon footprint. For example, HP ProCurve network products have variable speed cooling fans for efficient cooling. The distributed computing structure can be adjusted according to the deployment scale of switches, thus optimizing power consumption; Support remote management of each port, and also reduce power consumption and energy costs; Up to 55? The innovative design adopted in the environment around C can reduce the need for external cooling, thus greatly reducing air conditioning.
It is precisely because of these excellent energy-saving and emission-reduction characteristics that HP ProCurve series network products have obtained the "green certification" from Miercom, the most famous network product evaluation agency in the industry. Evaluation laboratory enjoys a high reputation in the industry for its extremely demanding evaluation requirements and professional evaluation level.
According to the evaluation results of Miercom, compared with the industry average, the energy saving of ProCurve fixed-port switches can reach 38%, while that of modular switches can reach 45%. Perhaps the energy saved by a single switch is not obvious in figures, but if we take a simple enterprise network (2,300 LAN access ports and 3,800 data center switch ports) as an example, ProCurve can save customers nearly $46,000 in energy costs in five years! This is only part of the energy consumption. If the benefits brought by ProCurve's industry-leading lifetime warranty service are included, the cost savings of the enterprise will be considerable.
Low carbon, go further.
It should be pointed out that the green energy saving of the product itself is only a link to reduce the carbon footprint, because the product will be accompanied by carbon dioxide emissions during production, packaging and transportation. Therefore, to become a qualified citizen of green enterprise, we also need to consider environmental factors in the process of production, transportation and delivery of products. For example, some supermarkets in Britain have begun to try out "carbon labeling", that is, measuring and marking the total amount of carbon dioxide produced by various commodities in the manufacturing process for consumers' reference when purchasing. Obviously, this puts more stringent requirements on product suppliers.
In this field, many well-known manufacturers have begun to take action and are working hard to implement it. Still taking HP ProCurve as an example, HP requires the use of low-pollution and recyclable materials in production; In the delivery process, implement efficient packaging and logistics processes to reduce costs, oil consumption and environmental impact. For example, ProCurve products are transported using foam pallets instead of wooden pallets. This greatly reduces the amount of wood, protects forest resources and reduces the transportation weight by 80%. ProCurve also uses its global recycling facilities to reuse these trays.
In addition, HP ProCurve switch can be upgraded modularly, and spare parts such as power supply, fan tray and transceiver are designed universally, so that enterprise customers do not need to eliminate original products and spare parts, which will greatly reduce the generation of e-waste. HP ProCurve switches also enjoy a unique lifetime maintenance policy, which can also extend the service life of equipment and indirectly reduce the generation of e-waste.
IT is worth mentioning that enterprises should also make full use of IT information technology to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. For example, enterprises can use the video conference system to discuss or discuss important issues with branches or business partners in different places, which can not only avoid energy consumption and carbon emissions caused by taking airplanes, trains and other means of transportation, but also communicate in time, greatly saving the travel costs of personnel; Enterprises can also consider virtualization technology to reduce the purchase of enterprise servers, thus reducing energy consumption and exhaust emissions.

On Low-carbon Life
In fact, a low-carbon life is not difficult. Many studies call for action. Paying attention to your food, clothing, housing and transportation can halve your carbon footprint.
How should people realize a low-carbon lifestyle and further promote the development of low-carbon economy?
Two reports released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in World Environment Day this year give an unexpected answer-it may be easier to achieve the goal of "eliminating carbon dependence" than imagined: you just need to adopt a climate-friendly lifestyle, which will not cause much change to your lifestyle, let alone make any big sacrifices!
One of these two reports is called "Getting rid of habits: climate neutrality that cannot be ignored", which is a general guide for low-carbon lifestyles. The other, entitled "Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in the Tourism Sector", was compiled by experts in cooperation with UNEP and the World Tourism Organization.
On June 10, China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) jointly released the China Ecological Footprint Report, indicating that it is urgent to promote low-carbon lifestyle and low-carbon economic development in China. According to the report, since 1960s, the per capita ecological footprint of China has continuously increased by about two times. If China wants to reduce the ecological deficit, it can start from two aspects, that is, starting with simple things and giving priority to solving the problem of slow effect.
These continuous reports echoed the theme of World Environment Day this year-"Changing traditional ideas and promoting low-carbon economy" from different angles. On the one hand, it shows that if people can change the traditional high-emission lifestyle, it will play a positive role in promoting the low-carbon economy; On the other hand, it also highlights that under the background of increasing global warming, all countries in the world are trying to reduce their carbon footprint in order to promote the development of low-carbon economy.
China's per capita ecological footprint: tripled in 50 years.
China Ecological Footprint Report was jointly commissioned by China International Cooperation Committee on Environment and Development and World Wide Fund for Nature (China), and completed by Global Ecological Footprint Network and Institute of Geographical Sciences and Resources of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This report analyzes the ecological deficit in China since the early 1970s, and points out the innovative path for China to achieve the goal of sustainable development, so as to realize its long-term rational utilization of natural resources.
According to the report, China, as a country, consumes15% of the global biological carrying capacity; Despite the increasing biological carrying capacity, the demand of China is still more than twice the sustainable supply capacity of its own ecosystem.
According to the report, the per capita ecological footprint of China is 1.6 hectares worldwide, that is to say, an ordinary person needs 1.6 hectares of ecological production land to meet his lifestyle needs. China's per capita ecological footprint ranks 69th among 147 countries, which is lower than the global average ecological footprint of 2.2 hectares, but it still reflects the important challenges faced by China. In fact, China consumes more than twice as much resources as its ecosystem can provide.
The conclusion of the report shows that if China wants to reduce the ecological deficit, it can start from two aspects, that is, starting with simple things and giving priority to solving the problem of slow effect.
Starting from simple things can produce immediate short-term benefits and promote the development of society towards reducing ecological footprint. In order to completely reduce China's ecological deficit, we need to consider the decisions that may have a long-term impact now.
The report also puts forward "circular" ways to reduce the ecological footprint: reducing urban development (c), personal action (i), reducing the amount of potential waste (r), carbon emission reduction strategy (c), land management (l) and improving energy efficiency (e).
The report also pointed out that compared with other parts of the world, the per capita ecological footprint of the Asia-Pacific region is relatively low. However, the huge population makes the total ecological footprint of this area rank first in the world.
Low-carbon lifestyle: small actions bring big changes
People living in developed countries and some fast-growing cities can "eliminate carbon dependence" immediately-it is not difficult.
Changing Lifestyle: A Guide to Climate Neutrality and the United Nations points out that only a few simple measures can reduce a person's daily greenhouse gas emissions by half. If companies such as power companies, automobile manufacturers and aviation equipment manufacturers also strive to achieve a green economy, then we can reduce more greenhouse gas emissions.
Studies have shown that if each air passenger reduces his luggage to less than 20 kilograms, it is possible to reduce the emission of 2 million tons of carbon dioxide worldwide every year.
Other low-carbon lifestyles that can be adopted at home or while traveling include:
Encourage airlines to provide free bus or rail mileage instead of free flight mileage to promote passengers to adopt more environmentally friendly means of transportation;
Replacing electronic alarm clock with traditional clockwork alarm clock can save 48 grams of carbon dioxide emissions per person per day;
Choose to dry clothes and avoid using drum dryer, which can reduce 2.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions every day;
Using jogging in a nearby park instead of 45 minutes of exercise on the treadmill can save nearly 1 kg of greenhouse gas emissions.
Start your "Low Carbon Day": halve your carbon footprint.
There are many small "no regrets" in Changing Lifestyle: A Guide to Climate and the United Nations, which can help reduce daily greenhouse gas emissions. The users of these methods may come from Australasia, Europe or North America, which are the major regions that have caused global warming in history. By adopting the above method, the per capita emission can be reduced from 38kg to14kg.
These suggestions have little or no impact on people's comfort, and may be partly related to some developing countries, cities, departments and people, because their carbon footprints are rising sharply.
Half of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by human control, such as the way we drive, the way we travel by plane, the energy of houses and the way we warm up.
About half of the remaining 50% beyond personal control comes indirectly from providing energy for our work, more than 65,438+00% comes from the maintenance of infrastructure and government departments, and the remaining 20% comes from the production of commodities.
Changing Lifestyle: Climate Neutrality Guidelines and UN Recommendations on How to Start a "Low Carbon Day". What should you do after you turn off the clockwork and put on the sun-dried clothes, brush your teeth and have breakfast? Please consider the following aspects:
Choosing a non-electric toothbrush will avoid nearly 48 grams of carbon dioxide emissions;
Using a toaster with 15 minutes instead of baking bread in the oven can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly170g;
Replacing 60-watt bulbs with energy-saving lamps can reduce greenhouse gases by 4 times;
Taking trains instead of cars as daily commuting tools can save 1.7 kg of carbon dioxide emissions in just 8 kilometers;
Turn off your computer and flat panel monitor after lunch break and after work, and the emissions caused by these devices will be reduced1/3;
Buying and using water-saving shower heads can not only save 10 liter of water per minute, but also greatly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions generated by taking a three-minute hot bath to half.
How to Reduce Air Tourism Emissions
Changing Lifestyle: A Guide to Climate Neutrality and the United Nations points out that the carbon emissions caused by transatlantic flights are equivalent to driving a car 1 year.
For people who often fly, whether you are a successful person or an ordinary tourist, flying is the main cause of global warming at present. Compared with railways, short-distance air travel produces about three times of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger, which accounts for about 2% ~ 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions as an industry as a whole.
Long-distance buses may be a good choice for intercity travel, because some new ultra-high-speed railway services will cause considerable carbon emissions. At the same time, technological innovation can help improve the efficiency of transporting people and goods.
The report "How does tourism adapt to and mitigate climate change" puts forward some other methods, so aviation and tourism may contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
In addition to measures such as reducing hand luggage and tax exemption on the plane, experts also put forward other suggestions:
Encourage tour operators to book direct flights, rather than those that bypass or need stopovers;
Encourage closer cooperation between airlines and increase the passenger load factor to 80%. At present, the average load factor in the EU is 65%.
Significantly increase the ticket price of business class passengers to truly reflect the extra space they occupy, which can be used to transport more passengers, thus making the aircraft more environmentally friendly;
Formulate measures to reduce the average age of aircraft in service. In Sweden, the average aircraft age is just over 10 years, while in the United States, the average aircraft age of 1/3 is 25 years. Advanced aircraft can reduce the exhaust emissions per passenger by 30% per kilometer.
On June 5438+ 10, 2009, the European Commission proposed that the EU should increase 50 billion euros (about 63 billion US dollars) to develop low-carbon technologies in the next decade to meet the challenges of climate change and energy supply security and maintain the economic competitiveness of the EU. According to this legislative initiative of the European Commission, the EU's annual investment in developing low-carbon technologies will increase from the current 3 billion euros to 8 billion euros. The European Commission has drawn up a "road map" for the EU to develop low-carbon technologies by combining enterprises and researchers. The plan aims to develop low-carbon technologies in six potential areas, such as wind energy, solar energy, bioenergy and carbon dioxide capture and storage. Japan is a country with scarce resources, and has always paid attention to energy conservation and emission reduction. In recent years, the Japanese government has taken the lead in establishing a low-carbon society while vigorously promoting energy conservation and emission reduction plans. In June 2008, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda put forward that "a low-carbon society is Japan's aim", that is, the famous "Fukuda Blueprint", which includes low-carbon technological innovation, institutional innovation and lifestyle change, among which the long-term goal of Japan's greenhouse gas emission reduction is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% to 80% by 2050 compared with the current one. "Futian Blueprint" marks the composition of Japan's low-carbon strategy. In September 2008, the Japanese government adopted an action plan to build a low-carbon society, and set a numerical goal and timetable for completing the blueprint of Futian. In particular, the application of "Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Technology" (CCS) to recover carbon dioxide before 2020 and stop underground storage has taken a solid step to complete the "low-carbon society". In April 2009, Japan issued the draft policy of "Green Economy and Social Innovation", aiming at strengthening Japan's green economy by implementing measures such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The draft policy not only calls for environmental and energy measures to stimulate the economy, but also puts forward long-term policies such as completing a low-carbon society and a society in harmony with nature. Its main contents involve social capital, consumption, investment and technological transformation. In addition, the draft policy also proposes to implement a greenhouse gas emission trading system and levy an environmental tax. If this draft policy is adopted and implemented, the market scope of Japan's environmental field will increase from 70 trillion yen (about 7100 billion US dollars) in 2006 to 120 trillion yen (about12 billion US dollars) in 2020, and related jobs will also increase substantially. Promote economic development through environmental protection and realize "green growth". Second, the global carbon trading market is developing rapidly. In the future, the Kyoto Protocol, which came into effect in 2005 under the influence of the post-Kyoto international climate agreement, stipulated the quantitative emission reduction target of rich countries in Annex I of the United Nations Framework Treaty on Climate Change (UNFCCC), that is, their greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 5.2% at the level of 1990 during the period of 2008-20/2. Among them, the EU cut 8%, the United States cut 7% and Japan cut 6%. In order to ensure the completion of global emission reduction, Kyoto Protocol has established three sensitive emission reduction mechanisms, namely, emission trading mechanism (ET), clean development mechanism (CDM) and joint implementation mechanism (JI). Rich countries can obtain emission reduction outside their own countries through these three mechanisms, ease the pressure of domestic emission reduction, and complete the purpose of emission reduction at a lower cost. China can also obtain emission reduction funds and technologies through project cooperation to promote sustainable economic development. Under the framework of Kyoto Protocol, the greenhouse gas emission reduction right has become a commodity, which constitutes the global trading of greenhouse gas emission right, referred to as carbon trading. At present, there are two main ways of global carbon trading. One is quota-based trading. Under the "total control and trading" system, stop the trading of emission reduction quotas formulated, allocated or auctioned by relevant institutions. The market mainly includes three independent systems: EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), New South Wales (NSW) and Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), all of which are among the prosperous countries. Second, project-based trading, which will also be used to trade projects that can prove to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The market mainly includes clean development mechanism and joint implementation mechanism. The former ends between prosperous countries and China, while the latter begins between prosperous countries and countries with economies in transition. China, as a China, can only participate in the development of clean development mechanism projects and sell the CERs generated by the obtained projects to the governments or institutions of rich countries with emission reduction requirements. (1) The global carbon market is expanding rapidly, and the EU emissions trading system is dominant. According to the statistics of the World Bank, from 2005 to 2008, the global carbon trading volume increased annually by 126.6%. Although in 2008, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the transaction volume of the primary market of the project-based clean development mechanism decreased, but the secondary market remained lively; The quota transaction still maintained a rapid growth momentum, with the annual transaction volume reaching $654.38+026.35 billion, an increase of 654.38+000.5% compared with $630.654 billion in 2007 and an increase of 654.38+00 times compared with 2005. From the perspective of global carbon trading volume, it also shows a rapid growth momentum, with an average annual growth rate of 59.5% from 2005 to 2008. In 2008, the global carbon trading volume reached 4,865,438+tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, an increase of 6 1.4% compared with 2,980 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2007 and three times that of 2005. The World Bank predicts that in 20 12 years, the global carbon trading volume will reach150 billion US dollars, which is expected to surpass the oil market and become the largest market in the world. In the global carbon trading, the EU emissions trading system continues to dominate. In 2008, the trading volume of EU emissions trading system was 9 1, 9 1 billion dollars, and the trading volume was 3.09 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which increased by 87.3% and 50 1% respectively compared with 2007, accounting for 72.7% and 64.2% respectively in the world. The clean development mechanism is second only to the EU emissions trading system, accounting for 26% and 30.3% of the global trading volume respectively. In terms of market scope, there is a big gap between the clean development mechanism and the EU emissions trading system, but the growth rate of the clean development mechanism cannot be ignored. In 2008, the trading volume and trading volume of CDM increased by 154.5% and 84.5% respectively compared with 2007, which far exceeded the unity of EU emissions trading system and global carbon trading. Under the principle of common but differentiated obligations, clean development mechanism is an effective and successful way to deal with global climate change. The huge difference in emission reduction costs makes rich countries willing to transfer capital and technology to China. Rich countries not only transfer low-carbon technologies to China, but also promote their own technological innovation and export, so it is a win-win mechanism. At present, China is the main supplier of project transactions under the clean development mechanism, accounting for 84% of the world in 2008, while India and Brazil rank second and third, accounting for 4% and 3% of the world respectively.
With the rise of regional carbon trading market, the global unified market and rules have yet to be formed and formulated. The EU emissions trading system is currently the largest greenhouse gas emissions trading market in the world, involving 27 EU member countries and nearly 654.38+200,000 industrial greenhouse gas emitting entities, including the Bluenext Carbon Trading Market in Paris and the Climex Exchange in the Netherlands. Eight trading centers, such as EXAA, ECX, EEX, IPEX, LEBA and Nordpool, have become the main driving forces of global greenhouse gas emission trading. In the arrangement of the second stage (2008-20 12) and the third stage (20 13-2020) of the EU emissions trading system, the EU continues to gradually increase the intensity of emission reduction and expand the emission reduction restrictions to more industries (such as aviation). In addition, the EU also intends to introduce an auction mechanism in the third phase of quota allocation to improve the efficiency of carbon trading. At present, the United States has not established a unified national carbon trading system, but there are regional carbon markets such as the Chicago Climate Exchange, the proposal of greenhouse gas emission reduction in the eastern and central Atlantic States 10, and the proposal of global warming action in California, and quota trading and voluntary emission reduction trading based on projects have stopped. Chicago Climate Exchange, which was established as early as 2000, launched American carbon trading futures products after 20 12, and started trading. The Clean Energy Act of the United States, passed in June 2009, stipulates that the trading mechanism of greenhouse gas emission rights should be implemented, and the government should set carbon emission caps for power plants and factories. 85% of the quota is allocated by the government free of charge, and the remaining 15% quota is purchased by the company. As long as the emissions are below the upper limit, the limit can be resold to encourage enterprises to reduce carbon emissions. The national carbon trading market in the United States is expected to be based on this bill. The greenhouse gas emission reduction trading system in New South Wales, Australia was officially launched on June 5438+ 10, 2003. It stipulates the emission share of the country's power wholesalers and other departments, and the additional emissions are compensated by the carbon trading market to purchase emission reduction certificates. Kevin Rudd, Australia's new prime minister, took office in 2007 and participated in the Kyoto Protocol. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, he formulated Australia's national emission reduction measures and established a carbon trading system, which was tentatively implemented in 20 1 1 year. Carbon trading in Asia started late. The Singapore Exchange was established in early July 2008, and plans to launch transactions to certify emission reductions. At one time, HKEx began to develop products related to emission rights to prepare for the on-site trading of greenhouse gas emission rights. Japan's Ministry of the Environment has said that Japan is developing a total control and quota trading system similar to the EU emissions trading system, but the launch time has not been fixed. With the gradual maturity and perfection of low-carbon economic policies, countries and regions around the world have launched their own regional carbon trading markets. On June 5438+ 10, 2009, the European Union proposed to establish a global unified carbon trading market as one of the plans to deal with global climate change. Obviously, the EU should dominate the formulation of future international rules. Although the EU promises to expand its emissions trading system and attract other prosperous countries to participate, it will take time to form a global unified carbon trading market. (3) The post-Kyoto international climate agreement affects the global carbon trading trend. The future development trend of global carbon market mainly depends on the outcome of the United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen from June 5438 to February 2009, that is, a new emission reduction agreement to deal with global climate change was reached to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expired in June 20 12. This result will play a decisive role in the formulation of climate policies in countries such as the European Union and the United States, which will be an important basis for the further development of the global carbon market in the future. From June 5, 2007 to February 38, 2007, the United Nations Climate Conference reached the Bali Action Plan and launched the post-Kyoto international climate negotiations. Due to the serious differences between the development of rich countries and China, there has been no substantive pause so far. Prosperous countries such as the United States and Japan show negative commitment to greenhouse gas emission reduction from 20 12 to 2020, and are unwilling to include environmental protection technology and financial support in the prosperous countries that have been calling for China. In view of the current negotiation situation, the senior UN climate change official thinks it is difficult to reach a new emission reduction agreement at Copenhagen. However, the international community pays more and more attention to greenhouse gas emission reduction, which makes people still full of hope for the future of the global carbon market. At the 2009 Low Carbon Expo, IETA released a public opinion survey on greenhouse gas market, which showed that all stakeholders in the carbon market were waiting for the global carbon market to flourish.
#2 The educational function of low-carbon economy means that the development pattern of low-carbon economy can be used as a special behavior standard, which can directly or indirectly affect future behavior attacks under the protection of a certain degree of international compulsion.
