STORYLINE:

Chinese industrial carbon footprint calculation software has played a positive role in promoting the realization of China's dual carbon goals.

Product carbon footprint is a form of carbon emission accounting, which generally refers to the sum of carbon emissions generated in procedures such as raw material processing, transportation, production and sales, and is an important indicator to measure the green and low-carbon level of enterprises and products.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): ZHOU JING, Chairman of Shanghai E-C Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
"In fact, the EU started counting carbon emissions quite early. So when we carried out this kind of research in China, we used international tools and databases to count carbon emissions."

Noticing this gap in the market, an internet company named Shanghai E-C Digital Technology began to develop their own carbon emission calculation systems. 

Unlike traditional manual data collection methods, this system can automatically collect carbon emission data in the production process, improving efficiency in carbon emissions calculations.

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): ZHOU JING, Chairman of Shanghai E-C Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
"We are both a representative and a beneficiary of the new quality productive forces. With the introduction of these technologies, we will provide better products and services, and better support our customers and industrial manufacturing enterprises. The system can calculate the carbon emissions more precisely and help our clients to make better green manufacturing development plans."

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): WU ZHEYING, Director of R&D Department of Shanghai BAOSTEEL Packaging Co., Ltd.
"In the past, it took us great efforts to calculate the carbon emissions. But now, with the help of E-C Digital, we can track our carbon emissions and carbon footprint with less effort. "

China has announced that it will strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
