He said that the textile industry’s promotion of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality framework plans must be based on high-quality development and fulfillment of environmental responsibilities, and focus on energy structure and industrial structure adjustment, in order to improve energy utilization efficiency and promote industrial low-carbonization. level, and promote the clean, low-carbon and circular development of the textile industry chain. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish the leading direction of driving the green development of the entire industry chain of the textile industry with carbon peak and carbon neutrality, establish and improve the “double carbon” standard and evaluation system, and focus on efficient energy utilization, carbon emission reduction, carbon reduction and Focus on coordinated development and fiber recycling. Energy structure change packageThis includes cleaning coal and oil, reducing the proportion of primary energy, giving priority to the development of hydropower, strengthening the construction of wind power and photovoltaics, and creating clean energy corridors. The textile industry can achieve the dual carbon goals of the industry through two-way efforts on the energy demand side and supply side, improving the energy efficiency of key energy-consuming equipment, adopting process technology energy conservation, management energy conservation and other major measures.
Zhang Zhongjuan, low-carbon project leader of the China National Textile and Apparel Federation’s Environmental Resources Committee, titled “Textile Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting”, discussed the series of greenhouse gas emission accounting standards, textile enterprise greenhouse gas emission accounting, and 2022 enterprise greenhouse gas emission report. The main measures for management and textile carbon peaking are introduced.
She said that the current impact of climate change is becoming increasingly apparent, and the urgency of global actions to control greenhouse gas emissions continues to increase. How to respond to climate change and promote world economic recovery is a contemporary issue facing the whole society. In order to cope with climate change and calculate corporate greenhouse gas emissions, the National Standards Committee has formulated greenhouse gas emission accounting standards for 12 sub-sectors since 2015. Among them, Part 12 of GB 32151.12 Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting and Reporting Requirements details how textile companies conduct greenhouse gas accounting. The standards classify emission sources of textile enterprises, mainly including fuel combustion emissions, process emissions, and emissions from purchased and exported electricity and heat.
In order to better respond to greenhouse gas emissions and implement the “double carbon” action, in the future, the Environmental Protection and Resources Commission will focus on promoting the application of renewable energy and low-carbon technologies in the industry in terms of energy conservation and low carbon, and build a new energy-based structure. energy system, explore green electricity pilot demonstrations in the textile industry; establish a business model for cooperation between the power grid and the industry; study the “double carbon” path of textiles, study the carbon footprint of textile products, etc.
WWF Regional Project Director (Shanghai) Wang Qian shared the topic of “Dual-carbon actions in the value chain and international standards-scientific carbon targets and renewable energy applications”, and focused on the current “sustainable” dual-carbon projects. Development and response to climate change”, the challenges and opportunities faced by the textile industry in current global actions.
She introduced that there are currently 158 textile brands and companies around the world that have set scientific carbon targets. As of April 24, 2022, 147 companies in Greater China have joined the initiative, 44 have completed target reviews, and 9 have committed to net zero targets. She introduced in detail the assessment tasks of science-based carbon targets, emission reduction initiative standards and recommendations, target setting processes, etc., and shared examples of approved targets for textile and apparel companies such as Kering Group, Levi’s, and Skunkfunk.
When introducing the corporate greenhouse gas accounting method, she described the SBTi standard conditions in detail, and analyzed the value chain emissions of the clothing and footwear industry, brand owner emissions, and supplier emissions, as well as outsourced goods and services, and sold products. Product usage and other categories are explained. She emphasized that the goal of “carbon neutrality” will be achieved through energy structure transformation, model upgrading, energy efficiency improvement, and carbon capture and storage technology development, of which the energy structure transformation guided by green electricity is the largest contributor. In the future, WWF will continue to encourage the public to support and participate in climate action, accelerate China’s low-carbon transformation, and move the world towards a future driven by renewable energy.
Yu Xing, the national head of the BIPV sector of Jiangsu Trina Intelligent Distributed Energy Co., Ltd., introduced the “Renewable Energy Application in the Textile Industry (Photovoltaic)”. He said that with the formulation of China’s “double carbon” plan, the photovoltaic energy era has quietly arrived, and technology giants have entered the clean energy industry. At the same time, the domestic carbon trading market is on the right track. Not only has the national carbon emissions trading market been officially launched, but Xiongan Station has also reached the first international green certificate business. Promoted by various factors and actively guided by national policies, the photovoltaic industry is ushering in an unprecedented golden period.
He introduced that China is the country with the largest proportion of the global photovoltaic industry. Chinese-funded enterprises in the four major links of silicon materials, silicon wafers, and components all account for more than 50%. Not only are all the equipment domestically produced, but the output also accounts for 50%. 70% globally, with strong technological, cost and scale advantages. It is estimated that by 2035, my country’s photovoltaic power generation will rank first among all power sources, with the installed capacity reaching 3 billion, and the annual power generation reaching 3.5 trillion hours, accounting for 28% of the total electricity consumption in society.
Combining the photovoltaic power generation cases of textile enterprises and corporate advantages, he also introduced building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). He revealed that in order to promote the development of BIPV, 18 ministries and commissions have jointly issued a document to vigorously develop green buildings with a maximum subsidy of 0.4 yuan/kWh. , 14 provinces and cities released BIPV green building policies, and BIPV has come to the forefront.
As the co-organizer of this event, WWF Shanghai Regional Project Director Ren Wenwei concluded his speech by saying that the training was rich in content, closely related to the actual conditions of the industry and enterprises, and was highly demonstrative and instructive. Carrying out the “Energy-saving Services into Enterprises” and Textile Industry Dual Carbon Training Conference can help industries and enterprises overtake in corners and achieve leadership in new tracks and new arenas. This conference is very meaningful and will continue to be held in different forms in the future. .
He said that there is a long way to go to achieve the “double carbon goals” and requires continuous investment and practical action from the entire industry. This is a challenge and an opportunity. Implementing the “double carbon” action is not only an environmental protection issue, but also a key point to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. Shandong is a major textile province and has great potential in the dual-carbon process.
