Recently, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Shandong Province and other four departments jointly issued the Work Program for Carbon Footprint Assessment of Products in Shandong Province (2023-2025) (hereinafter referred to as the Work Program) to carry out carbon footprint assessment of key industrial products. According to the Work Program, Shandong will complete the carbon footprint accounting of 100 key enterprises in steel, electrolytic aluminium, cement, fertilizer and plastics industries in 2023; The carbon footprint accounting of products of 200 key enterprises in organic chemicals, rubber tires, caustic soda and other industries will be completed in 2024, and the carbon footprint accounting of products of 300 key enterprises will be completed in 2025.
Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by human beings in their production and life. It calculates the carbon emissions generated by a product in the whole life cycle of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, sales, use, waste and recycling, which includes not only the product itself, but also the carbon emissions of its industrial chain, supply chain and other related areas.
According to the Work Program, Shandong encourages key industrial products to carry out carbon footprint assessment. Enterprises in iron and steel, electrolytic aluminium, cement, fertilizer, plastics and other industries were selected to take the lead in the application of carbon footprint accounting, and gradually expanded to organic chemicals (including methanol, synthetic ammonia, etc.), rubber tires, caustic soda and other products and leading manufacturing enterprises. In terms of
standard system construction, Shandong will study and formulate carbon footprint technical standards and build a product carbon footprint evaluation system. To clarify the scope and methods of carbon footprint evaluation, and gradually establish a product carbon footprint evaluation system in line with provincial conditions, so as to provide basic data and technical support for product carbon footprint evaluation in the province.
Shandong will build a green consumption platform for low-carbon products. Enterprises that have carried out product carbon footprint evaluation are encouraged to disclose product carbon emissions on the green consumption platform of low-carbon products, to interconnect with carbon inclusive platforms and applications, to display product carbon emissions data to individual users in a timely manner, and to encourage consumers to choose to use low-carbon products. Combining with the construction of carbon inclusive system in the whole province, we should establish and improve the incentive mechanism for green consumption of low-carbon products.
By 2025, Shandong will basically complete the carbon footprint accounting of 600 key enterprises, initially establish the carbon footprint accounting evaluation system, emission factor data set and accounting model, and carbon footprint public service platform, and initially realize the domestic and international mutual recognition of carbon footprint labels.

In 2024, a carbon footprint accounting and evaluation system for key industrial products will be established, a carbon footprint accounting model will be initially established, and carbon footprint accounting for 200 key enterprises in organic chemicals (including methanol, synthetic ammonia, etc.), rubber tires, caustic soda and other industries will be completed. For the carbon emission level of products in the advanced provinces of green development, enterprises are encouraged to continuously reduce the carbon emission of products, and the supervision and management mechanism of carbon footprint accounting and evaluation is established and improved. In 2025, the carbon footprint accounting of 300 key enterprises will be completed, the product carbon footprint label certification system will be basically sound, the emission factor data set and accounting model will be continuously improved, the mutual recognition of multilateral carbon footprint labels will be initially realized, and international cooperation and exchanges will be further expanded. Establish a public service platform for carbon footprint to better support and serve enterprises to actively implement carbon emission reduction.
2. Key tasks
(1) Carry out pilot tests
for key industrial products 1. Focusing on the needs of green and low-carbon development and aiming at improving the green competitiveness of products, organize relevant departments and enterprises to carry out green and low-carbon training such as product carbon footprint evaluation, so as to enhance the concept of green and low-carbon development. To train technical talents for carbon asset management and green low-carbon development of enterprises.
2. Encourage key industrial products to carry out carbon footprint assessment (see annex for industry catalogue), select enterprises in iron and steel, electrolytic aluminium, cement, fertilizer, plastics and other industries, scientifically apply the methodology of life cycle assessment (LCA), take the lead in the app lication of carbon footprint accounting, and promote the development of carbon footprint accounting. And gradually expand to organic chemicals (including methanol, synthetic ammonia, etc.), rubber tires, caustic soda and other products and leading manufacturing enterprises, basically complete the carbon footprint accounting of 600 key enterprises, drive the life cycle carbon footprint evaluation of key industrial products in various industries, and timely adjust the scope of key evaluation industries according to the actual work.
3. Guiding enterprises to increase R & D investment, develop green low-carbon technology research and development, and strengthen the introduction and training of green low-carbon talents. Encourage active participation in the formulation of evaluation standards and technical specifications for low-carbon products, coordinate with upstream and downstream enterprises to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain and enhance product competitiveness.

Enterprises that have carried out product carbon footprint assessment are encouraged to disclose product carbon emissions on the green consumption platform of low-carbon products, to interconnect with carbon inclusive platforms and applications, to display product carbon emissions data to individual users in a timely manner, to encourage consumers to choose to use low-carbon products, and to encourage the public to participate in emission reduction. Combining with the construction of carbon inclusive system in the whole province, we should establish and improve the incentive mechanism for green consumption of low-carbon products.
3. Safeguard measures
(1) Strengthen overall planning of work. The relevant departments directly under the provincial level should establish a working linkage mechanism, conduct regular consultation and strengthen information sharing. The Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission are responsible for the policy interpretation and operational guidance of the provincial carbon footprint evaluation, and for the overall promotion of the provincial carbon footprint evaluation of key industrial products. The provincial commerce department is responsible for foreign exchange and cooperation, and promotes the carbon footprint evaluation of key export products.
(2) Strengthen supervision and management. Establish and improve the supervision and management mechanism according to the business functions of departments, implement the whole process management of carbon footprint evaluation of key industrial products, strengthen the supervision of enterprise carbon data quality and carbon footprint accounting and evaluation institutions, and ensure the fairness, fairness and openness of carbon footprint evaluation in the whole life cycle of products. Relying on the Shandong Low Carbon Development Alliance, a carbon footprint expert committee composed of well-known experts and scholars in the industry was established to support the carbon footprint evaluation technology.
(3) Strengthen policy incentives. Encourage and guide enterprises to carry out product carbon footprint evaluation, constantly innovate the system and mechanism, and reduce the carbon emission intensity of product life cycle. The evaluation of carbon footprint will be included in the evaluation index of near-zero carbon pilot demonstration. Supporting municipalities to incorporate carbon footprint assessment into incentive policies, and coordinating financial awards and subsidies for provincial construction of ecological civilization to give appropriate support.
