Achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals has become a focal point of global attention, with carbon emission reduction emerging as a key policy objective for many countries.
To advance global environmental protection efforts, numerous domestic and international enterprises have begun implementing carbon emissions accounting and reduction measures. Gypsum production enterprises not only generate carbon emissions but also produce construction gypsum, a highly representative green and low-carbon product.
Therefore, the formulation of the national standard "Carbon Emissions Accounting and Reporting Requirements – Part X: Construction Gypsum Production Enterprises", along with its English translation, holds great significance in the following ways:
Meeting internal enterprise needs: An increasing number of construction gypsum manufacturers are conducting carbon emissions accounting and reporting. The release and implementation of this standard will play a crucial role in guiding enterprises in carbon emissions management and implementation. Translating the standard into English enhances the ability to showcase enterprise information and serve international clients.
Promoting international exchanges: An English version of this standard will help domestic enterprises align with international standards, facilitating their participation in global trade and cooperation. It will also provide international gypsum manufacturers with easier access to Chinese standards.
Driving industry development: The construction gypsum production industry plays a dual role in comprehensive solid waste management and the rational use of natural resources. However, it also faces urgent challenges in enhancing green development and industrial upgrading. The development and translation of this standard will help enterprises adhere to environmental requirements, control carbon emissions, and promote the industry's sustainable growth.
Enhancing national influence: By translating and promoting this standard internationally, China can strengthen its influence in environmental protection discourse and contribute to global environmental governance discussions.
