Research on Pathways to Enhance Carbon Asset Management Capabilities of Yibin Baijiu Enterprises

Abstract

In the context of achieving the strategic goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, traditional energy-intensive industries are facing increasingly stringent carbon emission constraints and pressures for industrial transformation. As a major production base for Chinese Baijiu, Yibin's liquor production processes involve substantial energy demands and generate significant greenhouse gas emissions. Data indicates that the local Baijiu industry's annual energy consumption exceeds 1.5 million tons of standard coal equivalent, with total carbon dioxide emissions surpassing 4 million tons [4]. Consequently, enhancing carbon asset management has become a crucial measure for promoting the industry's green and low-carbon transformation. This paper systematically analyzes the key challenges in carbon asset management faced by Yibin Baijiu enterprises and proposes a comprehensive capacity-building plan, focusing on management awareness, accounting methodologies, technological upgrades, industrial chain integration, market operations, and policy support. Research suggests that by adopting scientific carbon asset management measures, the Yibin Baijiu industry could potentially reach its carbon emission peak before 2030. Furthermore, by 2035, the carbon emission intensity per unit product is projected to decrease by over 35% compared to the 2020 baseline. This study provides a reference implementation paradigm for the green transformation of regional characteristic industries.
