Assessment of Carbon Sequestration Function and Offset Energy Carbon Emission in Gahai Wetland
Gansu Province is an important ecological barrier in China,the Gahai wetland in the province is one of the important wetlands in the world,the study of the energy offset effect of Gahai wetland is of great significance to better achieve the dual carbon goal and maintain ecological security in Gansu Province.The article calculates the total carbon storage of Gahai wetland based on the area of different types of wetlands and the organic carbon den-sity of the soil,and the total carbon emissions from energy consumption of different industries in Gansu Province in 2021 were calculated through the sectoral method.The results showed that there were obvious types of energy offset-ting efficiency in Gahai wetland,with similar offsetting efficiency between herbaceous peatland and alpine wetland,and the lowest energy offsetting capacity in permanent swamp wetland.Therefore,the following suggestions are put forward to improve the energy offset rate of Gahai wetland:improve the calculation method related to wetlands,im-prove wetland protection policies,broaden financing channels,protect wetland resources,improve offset capacity and professional level,and enhance environmental awareness.
