Abstract
In order to achieve the development goals of emission peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060, carbon reduction measures should be implemented in the whole industrial chain. Based on the existing research, the basic logic of carbon reduction in the industrial chain is analyzed, and then the specific strategies for carbon reduction in the industrial chain are proposed, including: reducing the use of fossil energy and vigorously developing the new energy industry; reducing carbon through energy conservation, industrial upgrading, development of circular economy, and application of carbon capture technology; reducing carbon through low-carbon transformation of logistics industry, innovation of trading methods, and promotion of low-carbon green consumption. The external guarantee system for carbon reduction includes the introduction of relevant policies, laws and regulations, and the use of carbon emission trading mechanism.
