"Carbon" road first, Jiangsu Ecological Environment Monitoring and Monitoring Co., Ltd. promotes high-quality carbon monitoring capacity building
In recent years, with the gradual advancement of the "dual carbon" policy, from the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" to the introduction of the "14th Five-Year Plan" ecological environment monitoring plan and carbon monitoring and evaluation pilot work plan, the national policy clearly requires the monitoring and evaluation of greenhouse gases and carbon sinks, and promotes the development of carbon emission measurement technology and the improvement of informatization. Jiangsu Environmental Protection Group Monitoring and Monitoring Company seized the policy opportunity, seized the market opportunity, and successfully created a number of service cases in various parts of Jiangsu Province, providing technical support for the scientific monitoring and carbon emission accounting of "double carbon" in Jiangsu Province.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period to achieve China's carbon peak, and it is also a critical period to promote high-quality economic development and continuous improvement of ecological and environmental quality. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Guiding Opinions on Coordinating and Strengthening the Work Related to Climate Change and Ecological Environmental Protection" and the "Outline of the Ecological Environment Monitoring Plan (2020-2035)", proposing to "strengthen the monitoring of greenhouse gases and gradually incorporate them into the overall implementation of the ecological environment monitoring system", comprehensively plan carbon monitoring and atmospheric and other environmental quality monitoring, and give full play to the support, guidance and service role of ecological environment monitoring. In September 2021, the "Pilot Work Plan for Carbon Monitoring and Assessment" was issued, which requires the pilot to carry out the monitoring of the concentration of major greenhouse gases in the surface atmosphere, explore the top-down carbon emission inversion method, preliminarily form technical guidelines, and do a good job of technical reserves that can be promoted, applied and demonstrated, so as to provide verification reference for the accounting results of urban carbon emissions. Under the "dual carbon" strategy, greenhouse gas monitoring has become the top priority of environmental monitoring in the coming period.
Jiangsu Environmental Protection Group Monitoring and Monitoring Company has planned in advance and successively won the bid for the Nanjing High-precision Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Construction Project, the Suzhou High-precision Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Construction Project, and the Jiangsu Province Heavy Pollution Weather Monitoring, Forecasting and Early Warning System (Phase III) Project Navigation Observation System and other projects, helping to build a high-precision greenhouse gas concentration observation network covering major cities and regions. Through the construction of an online greenhouse gas monitoring system in cities and typical regions, real-time online and high-precision monitoring of greenhouse gases (CH4, CO2, CO, N2O, etc.) in the atmosphere and meteorological parameters such as wind direction, wind speed, temperature and humidity, and air pressure can be realized, so as to fully grasp the dynamic changes and spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of greenhouse gas concentrations, and accurately clarify the "family background" of urban carbon emissions through the "top-down" carbon emission assimilation and inversion method, so as to provide scientific and technological support for responding to climate change and achieving the "double carbon" goal.
The carbon sink of farmland ecosystem has great potential, and the monitoring of carbon sink of farmland ecosystem is an important part of achieving the "double carbon" goal. In September 2023, Jiangsu Environmental Protection Group Monitoring and Monitoring Company assisted Taizhou Ecological Environment Bureau to build the province's first farmland ecosystem carbon flux observation field, empowering ecosystem carbon sink monitoring with digital intelligence technology. The observation system adopts the internationally recognized closed-circuit eddy correlation method to locate and observe the exchange of CO2, H2O, heat and momentum in the atmosphere and farmland ecosystems around the clock, accurately calculate the carbon sink of farmland ecosystems in typical areas, and provide a scientific and efficient "application model" for the establishment of a carbon monitoring and evaluation system in the province.
In the next step, the monitoring and monitoring company of Jiangsu Environmental Protection Group will firmly grasp the forward-looking monitoring hotspots, promote the construction of automatic monitoring and intelligent monitoring capacity with high quality, strengthen the monitoring of greenhouse gases in urban ambient air, and actively explore the pilot monitoring of marine carbon sinks and forest ecosystem carbon sinks, and strive to realize the organic unity of "lucid waters and lush mountains" and "golden mountains and silver mountains" on land and sea, and contribute to the monitoring of state-owned enterprises to build a beautiful Jiangsu and achieve the strategic goal of "double carbon".
