State Grid Jiaxing Power Supply Company has helped Zhejiang Xindu Cement Co Ltd complete the signing of the first carbon asset management service agreement in the cement industry within the system, marking another major breakthrough in carbon management services in Jiaxing city of Zhejiang province.

As the world's largest cement producer, China accounts for 57 percent of global cement output, with the cement industry contributing 13.5 percent of the country's total carbon emissions. This makes cement production a high-energy-consuming and high-emission industry.

Due to the characteristics of cement production processes, where CO2 is released during the decomposition of calcium carbonate in limestone, emission reductions in the cement industry are challenging. Therefore, reducing emissions in cement enterprises is crucial for achieving the "dual carbon" goals.

Zhejiang Xindu Cement Co Ltd, the first rotary kiln cement producer in Jiaxing and a national high-tech enterprise, has an annual production capacity of 7 million tons. Amid the industry's low-carbon transformation wave, the company urgently needed to establish a scientific carbon emission assessment system to enhance production efficiency.

In response to this demand, State Grid Jiaxing, relying on its "Carbon Footprint One-Stop Service Platform," formed a professional energy diagnosis team. The team conducted a comprehensive "health check" on the company's carbon emissions, analyzing data and building models to precisely identify weaknesses in carbon management.

Based on the diagnostic results, the company customized a full-process carbon asset management solution for Zhejiang Xindu Cement, covering standardized carbon emission data management, compliance reporting, carbon quota clearing strategy optimization, and medium- to long-term emission reduction planning.

From solidifying the foundation of data quality to developing the most cost-effective strategies in line with carbon market dynamics, and building a sustainable carbon management system, the solution helps the company achieve compliance, reduce costs, and drive green transformation.

Looking ahead, State Grid Jiaxing will continue to provide ongoing consultation services, focusing on technological innovation and model optimization. The company will closely monitor policy trends, introduce cutting-edge carbon management technologies, and expand the service coverage to provide more industrial enterprises with specialized and customized carbon management services, thereby promoting green, low-carbon, and high-quality regional economic development and supporting China's manufacturing sector in earning its "green label".
