Reduce CO2 emissions by 350 tons! Pingmei Shenma Group's first green electricity transaction
A few days ago, it was learned from China Pingmei Shenma Group Tiantong Power Company that on August 31, the company traded 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity with new energy power generation enterprises in Henan Province through the Beijing Electric Power Trading Center, equivalent to 500 green certificates, which is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 350 tons, and China Pingmei Shenma Group achieved a zero breakthrough in green power trading.
Green electricity trading is an important way and means for enterprises to reduce carbon emissions and reduce emissions. At present, wind power and photovoltaic power are the main sources of green electricity. Not long ago, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments jointly issued a notice that green certificates will be issued for all electricity generated by renewable energy power generation projects in the future. This means that all renewable energy power generation projects, such as conventional hydropower, biomass power generation, geothermal power generation, and marine power generation, will have green certificates.
So, what does it mean to be a green certificate? A green certificate represents 1,000 kWh of renewable energy, and the purchase of a green certificate is equivalent to the consumption of green electricity. As a kind of certificate for enterprises to finally offset carbon emissions, the green certificate can meet the requirements of the "carbon tariff" and "carbon footprint" policies of the European Union and other international markets, prove that the product has the support of clean energy in production, transportation and other links, and help enterprises set sail to "go to sea". With the green certificate, the relevant units of China Pingmei Shenma Group can obtain the corresponding carbon emission reduction and save their own carbon emission allowances. In addition, the use of green electricity can also help reduce the risk of curtailment for businesses.
Since the launch of the national green power trading pilot work, Tiantong Power Company has attached great importance to green power trading work, and set up relevant working groups as soon as possible to study green power trading policies and learn the operation process of green electricity trading platforms.
On August 29, the Beijing Electric Power Trading Center and the Henan Electric Power Trading Center jointly issued an announcement on the green power trading in Henan Province in September. The company and a number of new energy power generation enterprises in the province repeatedly inquired and negotiated, and finally completed the transaction. The completion of this transaction marks the official opening of the company's green power trading, laying the foundation for further increasing the revenue of new energy projects, and accumulating valuable experience for China Pingmei Shenma Group to carry out green power transactions.
"This is a useful attempt for us to improve the green power consumption capacity of enterprises. In the future, we will continue to expand the scale of green electricity trading, strive to allow more green electricity to enter the production process of enterprises, and contribute to the Group's realization of the 'dual carbon' goal and green and high-quality development." The relevant person in charge of the company said.
