In recent years, in the face of global climate change and environmental problems, governments around the world have gradually realized the importance of reducing carbon emissions and achieving sustainable development, and therefore have proposed corresponding policies to promote the world's green and sustainable development.
In September 2020, China made a solemn promise at the United Nations General Assembly that China will achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. On April 25, 2023, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union passed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) bill, which will come into effect on October 1, 2023. In response to policies, companies have accelerated the implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) management to address climate change and promote sustainable development.
Under the call of the "double carbon" goal, major enterprises have also shifted from fighting "digitalization" to "greening" on the road of transformation. However, energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon transformation cannot be achieved overnight. From macro-goals to micro-business needs and technology applications, only by having a systematic understanding and conducting targeted deployment can help enterprises "roll out" on the road to green transformation. High quality results.
In order to assist enterprises in their sustainable development transformation, Amazon Cloud Technology provides a "Carbon Data Lake" solution guide to provide enterprises with efficient carbon measurement services. The Amazon cloud technology services used by the "Carbon Data Lake" include: Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Step Functions, Amazon Glue, Amazon Lambda, Amazon SageMaker, etc.
Opportunity: Building Carbon Metering Solutions to Accelerate Corporate Carbon Footprint Certification
Due to the complex standards and high technical thresholds in the field of carbon management, many companies still face difficulties such as insufficient understanding of the standards and lack of professional technical capabilities.
In response to the different dimensions of the needs of export enterprises, as well as the challenges enterprises encounter in energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon transformation, TÜV Rheinland has launched professional services for organizations, individuals, products and carbon emission reduction projects in response to customer needs, starting from "physical examinations" ", "Maintenance" and "Contribution" to take actions at three levels to help companies implement emission reduction and carbon reduction, and drive the entire ecosystem to achieve low-carbon transformation.
Collecting enterprise energy consumption data, calculating carbon emissions, and conducting certification through traditional methods, enterprises face problems such as high certification costs, difficult data collection, and inability to display historical emissions. Therefore, TÜV Rheinland urgently needs to build a digital platform for carbon measurement to help enterprises efficiently collect and calculate energy consumption data, visually display carbon emission data over the years, and realize cost reduction and efficiency increase in the process of sustainable development and transformation of enterprises.
Solution: Amazon Cloud Technology "Carbon Data Lake" Solution Guide
With the help of Amazon Cloud Technology's "Carbon Data Lake" solution guide, it can provide enterprises with more accurate, efficient, and reliable energy management and carbon emission management services, which can help enterprises achieve sustainable development goals and also contribute to global environmental protection. make a contribution.
Storage optimization: use object storage service Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and database services Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Aurora to build a large-scale scalable carbon data lake, which is used to save the original data of energy consumption, carbon emission calculation factors and carbon emissions of enterprises data.
Calculation optimization: In the process of carbon emission calculation, Amazon Step Functions serverless workflow engine is used to coordinate various Amazon cloud technology services, including services such as Amazon Glue and Amazon Lambda, to realize data quality detection, data compression, cleaning, standardization and calculation and other functions.
AI prediction: Use Amazon SageMaker service to build, train, and deploy machine learning models to predict the company's future energy consumption and carbon emissions.
BI analysis improvement: According to the actual production needs of users, historical data and forecast data are displayed through the open source software Metabase, helping enterprises to understand their own carbon emissions more clearly, and accordingly formulate more reasonable emission reduction plans to achieve sustainable development Target.
Business results: Amazon Cloud Technology joins hands with Germany's TÜV Rheinland to
Help Guofu Hydrogen Energy explore the "green and low-carbon" development path in the field of hydrogen energy
TÜV Rheinland has assisted Guofu Hydrogen in setting up a professional carbon management team. Through training, it has helped the team understand the latest domestic and foreign policies and regulations, and understand the importance and urgency of "dual carbon" work. At the same time, based on Amazon Cloud Technology's "Carbon Data Lake" solution guide, Germany's TÜV Rheinland also built an enterprise carbon management cloud platform for Guofu Hydrogen Energy, and empowered its team to independently determine inventory in accordance with the calculation methods in the ISO 14064-1 standard. To complete the identification of on-site emission sources within the involved boundaries one by one, collect emission source data and perform calculations.
After Guofu Hydrogen Energy completed its own greenhouse gas inventory, TÜV Rheinland conducted a comprehensive and in-depth review and analysis of its reports and data through the enterprise carbon management cloud platform and an independent verification process. The auditors used the enterprise carbon management cloud platform to view various reports, records, bills and other related materials of Guofu Hydrogen, and cross-referenced the calculation process and results of greenhouse gas emissions to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. In the end, TÜV Rheinland issued a verification report confirming that the greenhouse gas emissions report submitted by Guofu Hydrogen Energy met the requirements of ISO 14064-1 and that the content of the report was true, accurate and complete. This shows that Guofu Hydrogen Energy is not only actively promoting its own decarbonization process, but is also committed to improving the transparency of corporate environmental information disclosure through cloud computing technology and achieving the goal of corporate low-carbon development.
In the future, Amazon Cloud Technology, TÜV Rheinland, and Guofu Hydrogen Energy will further cooperate to jointly explore how to use their respective technology and service advantages to promote the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology and the vigorous progress of the hydrogen energy industry, making hydrogen energy a Make greater contributions to the key forces driving global energy transformation and low-carbon development.
The road to sustainable development: Amazon cloud technology has become a pathfinder, and also a pathfinder
Amazon jointly launched "The Climate Pledge" ("The Climate Pledge") with Global Optimism in 2019, with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions across all business lines by 2040, ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement goal. So far, nearly 400 companies from 34 countries and more than 55 industries have signed the Climate Pledge. To promote the achievement of the net-zero emissions goal promised by the Climate Declaration, Amazon invested US$2 billion in 2020 to establish the Climate Declaration Fund to support the development of decarbonization technologies and services. Since its inception, the Climate Pledge Fund has invested in a total of 18 companies.
