The Beijing Winter Olympic Games will achieve the goal of full carbon neutrality, and the energy supply will be “green”

The Beijing Winter Olympic Games are wonderful. Besides the events, the operation of low-carbon management is not contrary. Low carbon energy, low-carbon venues, low-carbon transportation and low-carbon standards. In 2022, Beijing will present a green winter Olympics and low-carbon Winter Olympics for the world. Beijing Winter Olympics officials said that according to the current accounting, the Beijing Winter Olympics will achieve the goal of full carbon neutralization.

At the time of bidding for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games and winter Paralympic Games, the commitment of “implementing market-oriented carbon emission reduction mechanisms such as carbon emission trading; establishing Beijing 2022 carbon emission assessment and management mechanism; and neutralizing all carbon emissions” was put forward. Low carbon management runs through the whole process of preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games

It is reported that the Zhangbei flexible DC power grid test demonstration project was put into operation in 2020, which will safely and efficiently transport renewable energy in Zhangjiakou to Beijing. All 26 venues in the three competition areas of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games use “green power”. From June 2019 to the end of the Beijing winter Paralympic Games, the Beijing Winter Olympic venues are expected to use 400 million kwh of “green power”. In addition, all winter Olympic venues meet the green building standard, all new indoor venues meet the three-star green building standard, and the existing indoor venues meet the two-star green building standard through energy-saving transformation.

At the fifth regular press conference held at the main media center of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Li Sen, director of the overall planning department of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, said that according to the current accounting, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games will achieve the goal of full carbon neutralization. Mary saruwa, director of brand and sustainable development of the IOC, spoke highly of the concept of sustainable development and excellent results of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. “A series of measures taken by the Beijing Winter Olympic Games for energy conservation and environmental protection, such as low-carbon energy, low-carbon venues, low-carbon transportation and low-carbon office, are of milestone positive significance.”

energy supply “green”

In addition to the use of “green electricity” in all Olympic venues, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games also established a cross regional green electricity trading mechanism, defined the list and registration processes of venues and other users, and provided clean energy for Olympic venues and their supporting facilities through market-oriented direct purchase of green electricity based on the power trading platform, It ensures that 100% of all venues use renewable energy power during the game.

In addition, Petrochina Company Limited(601857) , the State Grid, the Three Gorges group and other official partners of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games actively supported the carbon neutralization work of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and sponsored 200000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent carbon sinks to the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee in the form of sponsoring certified carbon emission reductions.

In terms of energy supply, new energy sources such as photovoltaic, wind power and hydrogen energy are widely used. This winter Olympics can be described as “green”. The Winter Olympics built a low-carbon transportation system during the games, and promoted electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in each competition area according to the principle of “electricity in plain and hydrogen in Mountain”. The state power investment group said that compared with traditional fossil energy vehicles, hydrogen buses can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 70 kg per 100 kilometers, equivalent to the annual absorption of 14 ordinary trees. The Mountain News Center in Yanqing competition area is equipped with Ginlong Technologies Co.Ltd(300763) inverter. The installed capacity of the project is 128 kW and the annual power generation is 140000 kwh. Lu Hefeng, assistant general manager and marketing director, told Huaxia times that as the first building photovoltaic integrated application project in Yanqing competition area of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, the green energy generated by the photovoltaic roof of the news center is equivalent to reducing about 90 tons of carbon dioxide per year.

The Winter Olympics also innovated and established a three in one sustainable management system. The three international standard systems of sustainable management system for international large-scale events (iso20121), environmental management system (ISO14001) and social responsibility Guide (ISO26000) have been effectively integrated to establish a sustainable management system with the characteristics of Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

Different from the previous Olympic events, this winter Olympic Games also has a professional carbon measurement team, which is responsible for the key technologies and demonstration application project of low-carbon Winter Olympic monitoring and carbon neutralization regulation. The project is led by Beijing University of technology and combined with Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and other institutions, It has developed the data acquisition device related to carbon dioxide emission and the intelligent fusion technology of multi-source data, collected the activity data related to “man-machine and material environment”, constructed the carbon emission accounting system and low-carbon evaluation method of large-scale events, and established a panoramic carbon emission intelligent control and carbon inclusive cloud platform for real-time analysis and feedback of the characteristics of carbon emission related to events – Winter Olympic carbon measurement.

The person in charge of the above-mentioned team told the reporter of Huaxia times that the “measurement and control” technical system developed by the project integrates the carbon emission related data monitoring, accounting, evaluation and control functions of large-scale events, provides key technical support and carbon neutralization regulation scheme for the intelligent low-carbon management of the Beijing Winter Olympic games, and makes the contribution of carbon emission reduction of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games have evidence There are several things to check and have material evidence.

At the same time, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee will prepare two carbon management reports for the Beijing Winter Olympics before and after the games. According to the official statement of the Winter Olympics, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympics has worked closely with the host city government to take the Beijing Winter Olympics as an opportunity to implement the sustainability strategy of the IOC, practice the concept of “Green Olympics”, solidly promote various measures and tasks of low-carbon management, help the coordinated green development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and strive to create a session of low-carbon technology, low-carbon system innovation and effectiveness The Olympic events with low-carbon awareness deeply rooted in the hearts of the people will provide reference experience and cases for the low-carbon management of the future Winter Olympic Games.
