The Carbon Footprint of the Baijiu Industry | CBCGDF Climate Change Working Group

The baijiu industry, an important part of China's traditional culture and economy, has a significant carbon footprint. The production process of baijiu involves multiple steps that consume a large amount of energy and resources.

For instance, the fermentation process requires a specific temperature and humidity environment, which often relies on energy-intensive heating and cooling systems. Additionally, the distillation process consumes a substantial amount of energy. The packaging of baijiu, especially high-end products with elaborate packaging, also contributes to its carbon footprint.

 

To reduce the carbon footprint, the baijiu industry can adopt more energy-efficient production technologies. For example, using advanced temperature control systems and optimizing the distillation process can save energy. Moreover, promoting simple and eco-friendly packaging can also make a difference. By taking these measures, the baijiu industry can play a role in reducing carbon emissions while maintaining its cultural and economic value.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
