112Recently, the second stop of Carbonstop's China Tour, the Shanghai station, was successfully concluded. Corporate leaders and managers from industries such as the internet, finance, and manufacturing gathered to discuss issues related to corporate carbon management and product lifecycle assessment (LCA) based on the policy background of carbon neutrality both internationally and domestically.
Notably, the event also invited Professor Li Bin, a researcher and doctoral supervisor from the Advanced Low-Dimensional Materials Center at Donghua University, to share insights on the theme “Low-Carbon Development Promotes Plastic Sustainability.”
01
Green and Low-Carbon Products Will Become the Market Mainstream
Over the past 40 years, global climate change has led to a significant increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Both international and domestic communities have gradually reached a consensus on addressing global climate change through emission reduction and carbon reduction.
In 2020, the European Union adopted the European Green Deal, committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% compared to 1990 levels by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. China also set its "Dual Carbon" goals in 2020, aiming to peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
This year, the state has continued to introduce relevant policies. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), along with seven other departments, released the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Green Consumption," which requires further improvement and strengthening of service standards, certification, and labeling systems for green and low-carbon products, significantly enhancing market recognition and quality benefits of green-labeled products and services.
In the future, green consumption will become a conscious choice for the public, and green and low-carbon products will become the market mainstream.

Challenges in Implementing Corporate Carbon Management
To respond to national calls and adapt to future market environments, many companies have set "carbon neutrality" goals.
Generally, corporate emission reduction follows a three-step approach: Step one, assess the current status of corporate carbon emissions; step two, set targets and evaluate reduction measures; step three, develop reduction pathways and optimize operations.
However, since carbon management in China is still in its early stages, companies often encounter numerous difficulties in the first step, particularly in calculating carbon emissions. Challenges include the lack of emission standards, difficulty in data collection, duplicate data calculations, and disputes over the sources of emission factors. Therefore, carbon accounting has become a major obstacle on the path to carbon neutrality.

Professional Matters Should Be Handled by Professionals
To address the pain points and challenges in corporate carbon accounting, Carbonstop has developed an integrated carbon management platform—Carbon Cloud CCloud. It is designed based on international standards (ISO, GHG Protocol, PAS2050 series, etc.) and leverages the world's largest carbon emission factor database to help companies achieve carbon emission accounting, analysis, target setting and pathway planning, implementation of emission reduction, and carbon neutrality in a closed-loop carbon management system.
Recently, the calculation module of Carbon Cloud has been comprehensively upgraded:
Corporate Carbon Accounting provides industry-specific and custom calculation models, making data entry smoother and supporting the automatic generation of GHG/ISO calculation reports, significantly lowering the threshold for corporate carbon emission accounting.
Product Carbon Footprint uses advanced calculation models to achieve intelligent factor matching, making accurate calculations accessible even to beginners. It also supports complex product multi-level breakdowns, connecting supply chain product carbon footprints and enabling online carbon neutrality, allowing users to create "zero-carbon products" effortlessly.
Since its launch in September 2021, the Carbonstop team has continuously refined and updated Carbon Cloud. After several iterations, Carbon Cloud now leads with core advantages—
Huge Practical Experience: Carbonstop draws on the practical experience of serving 1,200 clients to provide a solid case base for Carbon Cloud.
Mature Methodology: Based on project experience, Carbonstop has summarized and refined its unique CREOS carbon neutrality methodology.
Vast Underlying Data: Carbonstop currently owns the world's largest carbon emission factor database.
Digital and Intelligent Experience: Through AI and big data, Carbon Cloud offers services such as automatic matching of carbon emission factors, data analysis, and dynamic trend forecasting, lowering user thresholds and providing optimal user experiences.
Talent Team Resources: Carbonstop has its own consulting team, institute experts, and external international advisory teams, continuously enhancing and empowering Carbon Cloud.
In the future, Carbonstop will continue to adhere to the philosophy of "making every product have a carbon footprint," providing professional and high-quality services to bring more standardized, convenient, efficient, and meaningful carbon management practices to everyone.
