Completion of the Research on the Emission Reduction of Major Non-CO2 GHG in Jiangxi Province
On March 31, 2025, the Jiangxi Carbon Neutral Research Center and iGDP held a review meeting for the completion of the Research on the Emission Reduction of Major Non-CO2 GHG in Jiangxi Province. Senior experts from the Jiangxi Research Academy of Ecological Civilization, the Provincial Information Integration Promotion Center, the Jiangxi Meteorological Bureau, the Jiangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Nanchang University were invited to the meeting to form an evaluation expert group. This project aimed to map the status of non-CO2 GHG emissions in Jiangxi and develop feasible emission reduction roadmaps and policy recommendations. These efforts will contribute to the provincial government's planning of the dual-carbon pathway and help Jiangxi Province realize its carbon peaking and neutrality goals. Experts agreed that the project provides strong guidance for reducing non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions in Jiangxi Province.
Inter-Regional Coal Methane Emission Reduction Dialogue
On June 9, the Inter-Regional Coal Methane Emission Reduction Dialogue, organized by the Shanxi Coshare Innovation Institute of Energy & Environment and iGDP, was successfully held in Taiyuan. The dialogue convened over 20 experts and enterprise representatives to deliberate on the scientific reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the efficient utilization of coal methane as a clean energy source. The aim was to promote technology implementation, policy coordination, and cross-regional experience sharing, contributing to the green transformation of the national coal industry with the “Shanxi Solution.” Experts analyzed Shanxi’s emission characteristics, the status, and the challenges associated with the implementation of low-concentration gas utilization technologies (e.g., porous combustion for heat production, thermal storage, and oxidation). They also interpreted national and local emission reduction policies, CCER methodology, and the development of a monitoring standard system. Key recommendations were given on technological innovation, business models, policy incentives (such as financial subsidies and land use guarantees), regulatory improvements, and a fair market environment.
Mid-term Seminar on Jiangxi's Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Project
On October 31, 2024, iGDP, in cooperation with the Jiangxi Carbon Neutrality Research Center and the Jiangxi Association for Science and Technology, held the "Mid-term Seminar on Jiangxi's Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Project" in Nanchang. Experts and scholars from government and research institutions attended the event. During the meeting, the emission reduction project team presented the research content, progress and expected results of the non-CO2 emission reduction report for Jiangxi.
US-China Workshop on Local Climate Action
From May 30-31, 2024, the US-China Workshop on Local Climate Action was co-hosted by iGDP and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in San Francisco, USA. The workshop attracted over 50 policymakers and scholars from both China and the United States, along with representatives from Guangdong, Shanxi, Hainan, Shanghai, Tianjin, and the Macao Special Administrative Region of China. The event focused on critical areas of climate action in both nations, covering topics such as flexible grids, industrial emission reductions, low-carbon construction, non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, and carbon markets.
Kickoff Meeting of the Guangdong Working Group on Scientific Decision-making and Practice in Response to Climate Change
On January 11, 2024, the Guangdong Working Group on Scientific Decision-making and Practice in Response to Climate Change was officially established in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The meeting was jointly hosted by the Guangdong Low-Carbon Development Promotion Association and iGDP. The working group is comprised of over ten experts from sectors including energy, electricity, building construction, green finance, carbon footprint analysis, and energy storage. The Association presented the 2024 work plan for the group, which includes two to four thematic workshops and two in-depth training sessions. The experts recommended themes for future workshops, such as pathways to carbon neutrality, enhancing power system flexibility, deep industrial decarbonization, controlling greenhouse gas emissions in refrigeration systems, assessing abatement costs and market mechanisms for cutting-edge technologies, and the development of local carbon trading platforms.
