State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Training Center Applies for Patent on "Blockchain-Based Commodity Carbon Label Management System and Method," Contributing to Carbon Neutrality Goals

On January 16, 2025, the State Intellectual Property Office of China revealed that the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company Training Center filed a patent application for a "Blockchain-Based Commodity Carbon Label Management System and Method," with publication number CN119295102A and an application date of November 2024. This patent application marks a significant attempt to utilize blockchain technology to improve carbon emission management efficiency and is expected to contribute to China's carbon neutrality goals.

The patent abstract indicates that the invention falls under the field of environmental protection technology and aims to address numerous problems in traditional carbon emission information management. Traditional methods often face challenges such as data security issues, low transparency, and insufficient credibility. Information silos are prevalent, hindering effective data integration and sharing, making it difficult to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of carbon emission data, thus obstructing effective carbon emission management.

The State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company Training Center's blockchain-based solution aims to overcome these challenges. The system cleverly utilizes the decentralized, tamper-proof, and transparent nature of blockchain technology to build a secure and reliable commodity carbon label management platform. The system consists of the following modules:

1. Blockchain Network: As the core of the system, the blockchain network stores and manages the carbon emission data of all commodities. Due to the characteristics of blockchain technology, once data is written to the blockchain, it is permanently stored and cannot be arbitrarily altered or deleted, ensuring data authenticity and integrity.

2. Ledger Nodes: Ledger nodes are responsible for writing commodity carbon emission data and access strategies to the blockchain ledger. This process follows strict rules and procedures to ensure data accuracy and reliability. The multi-node ledger mechanism further enhances system security, preventing single points of failure and data loss.

3. Data Encryption Module: To protect sensitive carbon emission data, the system incorporates a data encryption module to encrypt collected data, preventing data leakage and unauthorized access. This is crucial for protecting the rights and interests of businesses and consumers.

4. Access Control Module: The access control module is responsible for formulating access strategies for commodity carbon emission information and implementing authorized access control. Through refined access permission management, only authorized users can access relevant data, preventing data misuse and leakage.

5. User Interface: The user interface provides users with a convenient access method. Users can simply scan the QR code on a product to easily obtain its carbon emission information. This significantly improves user experience and encourages consumer awareness of carbon emissions.

The innovation lies in applying blockchain technology to commodity carbon label management, achieving secure, transparent, and trustworthy management of carbon emission data. By establishing a traceable and verifiable carbon emission data management system, the system effectively reduces false and exaggerated carbon emission information, improves the efficiency and transparency of carbon emission management, and ultimately promotes further development and improvement of carbon emission management work.

This is of significant importance for promoting green and low-carbon development and achieving national carbon neutrality goals. With continuous technological maturity and expanding application scope, blockchain-based commodity carbon label management systems are expected to play an increasingly important role in the future.

The State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company Training Center, the patent applicant, was established in 2009 and is located in Tianjin. It is an education-focused enterprise. Although its registered capital information is not yet publicly available, Tianyancha data shows that the center has participated in 15 bidding projects, holds 27 patents, and has 12 administrative licenses, demonstrating its extensive experience and capabilities in power industry training and related technological research and development. This patent application also showcases the center's efforts and determination in actively exploring the use of new technologies to promote green and low-carbon development.

The significance of this patent application lies not only in the technological innovation itself but also in its profound impact on future carbon emission management models. It foreshadows a future where commodity carbon label management will be more intelligent, transparent, and traceable, providing consumers with more reliable and convenient carbon emission information, guiding them to make more environmentally friendly choices, and thus driving the entire society's transition to a low-carbon economy. Implementation of this system will help enterprises better fulfill their environmental responsibilities and improve their sustainable development levels. For regulatory authorities, the system will also provide more reliable data support, improving regulatory efficiency and providing a basis for formulating more effective carbon reduction policies.

In conclusion, the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company Training Center's patent application for the "Blockchain-Based Commodity Carbon Label Management System and Method" represents an exploration of a new type of carbon emission management model and has positive implications for achieving China's carbon neutrality goals. In the future, with continuous technological development and improvement, this technology is expected to be more widely applied, contributing to the construction of a green and low-carbon society. We look forward to seeing this technology play an even greater role in practical applications, making a greater contribution to achieving sustainable development goals. This patent application also provides a reference for other enterprises, encouraging more enterprises to actively explore and apply new technologies to jointly promote green and low-carbon development. Through technological innovation, we can better address the challenges of climate change and contribute to building a beautiful China.
