Low-carbon and energy-saving concept not equivalent kitchen electrical appliances consumers expect logo certification

Ask now the hottest words, the word "low carbon". With the Copenhagen Conference, two sessions of "low carbon" of high-profile, low-carbon economy, low-carbon life notions-carbon is swept the entire household industry and lit a fire House Juyenei. Consumers understand the concept of low-carbon, knowledge is not comprehensive, faced with the energy-saving products on the market is "spending it lost the eye", as this edit visited kitchen electrical appliances.

Compared with vehicle emissions, kitchen appliances-carbon emissions easily overlooked. According to the survey, family kitchen space and traffic patterns of carbon emissions or about family carbon emissions by 80 per cent. The family kitchen of carbon emissions come mainly from the range hood, gas cooker, microwave oven, water heater and electric rice cooker, drinking fountains, disinfection Cabinet, etc. A rough calculation, kitchen and bathroom appliances a year to spend 200 kg of petrochemical gas and electricity, 1000 to 1 kg of petrochemical production 2.3 kg of carbon dioxide gas and electricity generation 1 1 kg of carbon dioxide, family kitchen a year of carbon dioxide emissions is 1500 kg, corresponding to 1500 trees absorb carbon dioxide a year.

Kitchen electrical appliances stores

All businesses are hit energy-saving = low carbon card?

Edit visited Beijing's House and suning appliance supermarkets, gas cooker, range hood, and other kitchen appliances div., did not see the product to "low carbon". But a closer look at the product description, basically every product in the product description on the slogan of the energy-saving. Boss, shuaikang, fotile these three brands the pitch of the main counter products, in addition to their technical advantages vary, the main advantages of all energy-saving environmental protection, can be said to be achieved. But there are some vendors still have some energy-saving technology relatively backward products. These prices are relatively low, the placement does not highlight.

So-called traditional gas stove is a heat flow, high CO emissions, the thermal efficiency is low. National standards is 0.05%. General gas range, typically when the firepower to half the size of the fire, the corresponding CO emissions would gradually rise, saving energy and fuel gas stove is in with the firepower and duration of increase would not be wasted.

The "low carbon", many consumers associate it with the "energy products" draw between the equal sign. In fact, the "low carbon" contains a broad, is not limited to energy-saving product itself, the "low carbon" also include this product in the production process, reflected in the selection and use of raw materials, product research and development and processing, even including the transport and sale of products. These are all energy-saving emission reduction using levels, production levels, a degree of pollution, we ignore it. Production levels of carbon emissions for businesses in terms of a confidentiality of data, consumers are more concerned with the product itself is a low-carbon energy.

To buy gas stove consumers Wang said that all the products and energy-saving, own can't tell exactly which products are energy efficient. Like Dr. WONG this situation is also very much.

Sells the field kitchen electrical appliances sales staff: in fact, one of the easiest way is to always keep the gas flame blue, combustion State full release of exhaust gases, it would be relatively small, there is a yellow, shows the more inadequate combustion, emissions will be released. General family used in light blue and purple is the best.

In addition to cook saves time, is the description of a comparatively short time combustion, carbon monoxide emissions reduced, the customer can also burn at home, water heating, energy-saving gas stove basically every pot water savings of five minutes, this one year can save about liquefied gas 24 kg, and carbon monoxide emissions are greatly reduced.

Investigation map

From the low-carbon survey, there are quite a few friends more agreeable to use energy-saving products to enjoy low-carbon life, but as the Copenhagen Conference, the "low-carbon economy," key words for heating, TV, newspaper, Internet and other media of publicity, the low-carbon-carbon life, has been deeply rooted in the concept of the general populace.

Edit also observed from the marketplace, where energy efficiency slightly higher product prices are fairly expensive, a gas stove is priced at about 4000. Edit the inquired about the Research Institute of Chinese household electrical appliance, explained that the new product uses the latest energy saving technology enterprises, need to assume the early research and development and promotion costs, while at the same time as the trial period, the product is produced on a limited scale, so the price is higher than market average product high a lot.

Indeed, for ordinary people, the low-carbon energy conservation consciousness, price exceeds the capacity of consumers also can only be closed. How to make the price does not become the energy saving household electric appliances of the biggest bottlenecks, is this class of product promotion as the biggest problem. But consumers have to constantly raise the level of consumption, maybe in the next few years, the price does not become the limiting factor.

Low-carbon products certification needs to be implemented for consumers means of road

The previous period, there was news that China will launch a low-carbon product certification, product-chain, attract the entire community in the production and consumption points in cope with climate change. Granted to products, low-carbon society promote sign a customer-oriented low carbon products procurement and consumption patterns. To the public of consumer choice Guide and encourage enterprises to develop low carbon products and technology, the change to low carbon production mode, and ultimately achieve reduced

Few global greenhouse gas effect.

Edited by sells the field counter observation, kitchen hood, gas stove, electric appliance only fangtai family has an identity above, is the Chinese Environmental Foundation's Green logo, and low-carbon certification is different. About low carbon products certified products currently on the market and do not see.

Ms. Lee said that consumers want products for certification authorities, so that consumers can trust the products to the real energy-saving, rest assured your purchase, don't have to own than to go to great pains than that. This is the consumer a great truth.

Edit summary: after an investigation found that, although many consumers when buying new appliances have to buy energy-saving, environment-friendly products, but the real purchase such product is not too much. But many consumers on low carbon knowledge stays on the surface, only concerned about the product itself in energy saving, emission reduction effect, it ignores the production of the product in the process of carbon emissions. Buy low carbon products and related authoritative certification, consumers can easily be overwhelmed, price is too high can also become a low-carbon kitchen electrical appliances product of Tiger on the low carbon living kitchen require spending always makes the calculation of wage-earners, wary of the purse.

Unscramble the background:

The two proposed the "low-carbon economy" hot words, low-carbon economy into a new target industries

"Low-carbon economy" refers to the concept of sustainable development, under the guidance of technical innovation, system innovation, industrial restructuring, new energy development, and other means to minimize the coal oil, and other high energy consumption, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, achieving economic and social development and environmental protection in the win-win an economic development patterns.

"Low-carbon life" is a personal choice emit less carbon dioxide lifestyle; enterprises with new technology to reduce CO2 emissions from production mode to reduce the impacts of climate change. "Low-carbon life" backdrop of global warming on human survival and development challenges. As the global population and economic growth, energy use, environmental problems and causes constant is recognized, not smog, and acid rain and other photochemical smog, elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations in the global climate change was recognized as an indisputable fact. "Low-carbon life" advocate for low energy consumption, low emission, low emissions, is mankind the society further agricultural civilization, industrial civilization after another major progress.
