China: Anhui Conch has signed a CO2 trading agreement with Shanghai Environmental Energy Exchange (SEEE). The deal takes place within the context of Shanghai’s CO2 trading pilot scheme. Anhui Conch says that it will not only facilitate the promotion of carbon allowance asset scheduling and carbon asset market transactions, but also provide accreditation and CO2 management system certification. It says that SEEE will help it to better assume the role of a leading enterprise in the ‘dual-carbon’ field of the cement industry.
Anhui Conch says that it is focusing on developing a full-process carbon footprint monitoring system. It has begun researching the utilisation possibilities of captured carbon with academic partners.
