Shenzhen Digital Enterprise Carbon Account & Green Credit Platform

Shenzhen's 2013 emissions-trading pilot still covers ~670 industry, building, waste and transport-sector emitters that sit outside China's national ETS. In July 2024 the exchange co-launched a digital carbon-account platform that mines participating firms' tax-invoice data to estimate emissions and benchmark them against industry peers, letting banks price a differentiated 'carbon-reduction loan' by carbon performance.
