On July 9, 2021, Carbonstop, a leading brand in China's carbon emission management, held its 10th Anniversary Product Launch in Beijing. Government leaders from China’s carbon trading authorities, industry experts, and representatives from companies such as Hillhouse, Matrix Partners China, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, Meituan, Puma, and others attended the event. During the conference, guests witnessed the launch of China's first one-stop carbon management platform, Carbon Cloud Ccloud, and discussed the future of China's low-carbon development, advancing the country's carbon neutrality goals.

The Era of Carbon Neutrality Has Begun
China Enters a Trillion-Yuan Epic Gold Track

2021 is widely recognized as the inaugural year of China's "carbon neutrality" journey. "The goals of peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality are major strategic decisions made by China based on its commitment to building a community with a shared future for mankind and achieving sustainable development. Achieving these goals is not at odds with economic development; rather, it presents both challenges and opportunities," said Li Gao, Director of the Climate Change Department at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, in his message.

With the setting of the carbon neutrality target, innovative industries such as the internet, big data, and advanced manufacturing face new challenges and opportunities. Yan Luhui, founder and CEO of Carbonstop, proposed: "Due to carbon neutrality, all industries are worth doing again." The intense market transformation brings significant market opportunities. According to research by the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development at Tsinghua University, over the next 30 years, "carbon neutrality" will bring about 138 trillion yuan in investment opportunities to China.

"The global economy's transition from high-carbon to low-carbon or even net-zero carbon has become an inevitable trend. The carbon management industry urgently needs more digital and intelligent solutions. Carbonstop has been deeply involved in the industry for over a decade, providing carbon management services to more than 1,000 clients and building the largest carbon emission factor database in the country. We have also developed an intelligent carbon management platform SaaS service tool. Hillhouse aims to accelerate the development of green and low-carbon technologies by supporting technological innovation and green technology through long-term capital, helping industries, including our portfolio companies, achieve the long-term goal of carbon neutrality and create an innovative aggregation effect," said Lei Zhang, founder and CEO of Hillhouse.

A Decade of Refinement
Carbonstop Sets the Benchmark for Carbon Emission Management Technology

Ten years ago, Yan Luhui, founder and CEO of Carbonstop, who firmly believed that carbon neutrality was an inevitable trend, returned to China to establish the country's first company dedicated to carbon emission management software and consulting services. Carbonstop has always adhered to the mission of "making every product have a carbon footprint," providing carbon emission management consulting, training, software, and carbon neutrality products and services to enterprises and institutions, making carbon data ubiquitous, visible, and valuable. As Yan Luhui said, "Without quantification, there is no management. Only by clearly quantifying carbon emissions can enterprises and institutions effectively reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutrality."

Carbon Cloud Ccloud
The Intelligent Brain for Chinese Enterprises to Achieve Carbon Neutrality

At this launch event, Carbonstop officially unveiled China's first one-stop carbon management platform, Carbon Cloud Ccloud, transforming Carbonstop into a comprehensive provider of cloud services, consulting services, and software services covering all industries. This platform, independently developed by Carbonstop, is a one-stop carbon management platform for enterprises, encompassing various functional modules such as Shen Tan (Advanced Carbon), carbon inventory, carbon asset management, product carbon footprint, Carbon Intelligence, Carbon Academy, and carbon neutrality. It serves as the professional and convenient brain and tool for enterprise carbon neutrality and carbon management.

Among the features, "Shen Tan," which made its debut at the event, relies on the emission data collected by Carbonstop from tens of industries and thousands of enterprises, as well as the calculation methodologies of various carbon reduction scenarios. Users can assess their company's carbon emissions or estimate the economic benefits of a reduction project within one minute on their mobile devices, helping enterprises take the challenging first step in carbon management.

Notably, as one of the initiators of green meetings in China, Carbonstop practiced paperless, bottled-water-free, recyclable, and zero-waste standards during the event, calling on attendees to purchase carbon credits or offset projects to neutralize the meeting's 16.85 tCO2e emissions, achieving a truly green meeting.

Over the past decade, Carbonstop has helped clients reduce carbon emissions by over 100 million tons, indirectly influencing the low-carbon behavior of 800 million people through its products. It has achieved comprehensive carbon footprint calculations across all aspects of daily life—clothing, food, housing, transportation, and consumption—and possesses the most extensive carbon emission factor database in the country, laying a solid foundation for the popularization of carbon neutrality. Currently, Carbonstop leads the industry in four core sectors: technology, consumption, finance, and energy.

Carbon neutrality is driving the transformation of China's energy and economic structure, becoming a new engine for economic and environmental development. It also introduces a new consumer concept—low-carbon consumption. Low-carbon consumption is not only a responsibility for consumers to protect the environment but also imposes higher requirements on the production side. As a leading brand in China's carbon emission management, Carbonstop will leverage its decade of experience in carbon management to bridge the gap between corporate low-carbon transitions and the sustainable consumption market, promoting the low-carbon transformation of products and the consumer market, and contributing to China's 2060 carbon neutrality goal.

On the occasion of Carbonstop's 10th anniversary, founder and CEO Yan Luhui looked to the future and said, "In the next decade, Carbonstop will help 10,000 enterprise clients achieve carbon neutrality and influence over 1 billion people to participate in carbon reduction efforts!"
