Project Overview

The project is implemented at Bingshan Cemetery in Diaobingshan City. As the only commercial cemetery in Diaobingshan approved by the Department of Civil Affairs of Liaoning Province, it covers an area of 60 mu with more than 10,000 planned burial plots, serving memorialactivity participants from the city and surrounding areas.

Current Problems: Traditional memorial activities mainly consist of burning paper joss money and setting off firecrackers, which result in heavy smoke across the cemetery, prominent pollutant emissions and high fire risks, accompanied by intensive carbon emissions. Visitors travelling for offsite memorial activities face high roundtrip costs and poor convenience. The cemetery relies entirely on conventional gridsupplied electricity with zero application of green power. There is a lack of mature lowcarbon transition pathways and marketoriented incentive mechanisms in the funeralandinterment sector, leading to insufficient public motivation for green memorial practices.

Cause Analysis: Deeprooted traditional memorial customs persist. Lowcarbon memorial options (such as online memorial ceremonies and exchanging paper joss money for fresh flowers) and effective benefit incentives are absent. Funeral services remain underdigitalized with inadequate online convenient services. Mechanisms for carbon emissionreduction accounting and practical implementation tailored to funeralservice scenarios are missing.

Improvement Objectives: To build China’s first green and lowcarbon cemetery, establish a fullprocess lowcarbon model featuring “ecofriendly burial + greenpower cemetery + digital services + carbonpoint system”, achieve dual improvements in the cemetery’s carbon emission reduction and service quality, and create a replicable and promotable model for green transition in the funeralandinterment industry.

项目背景

项目落地于调兵山市兵山墓园，该墓园是调兵山市唯一经辽宁省民政厅批准的经营性公墓，占地60亩，规划墓穴万余个，服务全市及周边地区祭祀群众。

问题现状：传统祭祀以焚烧纸钱、燃放鞭炮为主，造成园区烟熏火燎、污染物排放突出、容易产生火灾，同时碳排放强度较高；异地祭祀群众往返成本高、便利性不足；园区能源完全依赖传统市电，绿电应用处于空白；殡葬领域缺乏成熟的低碳转型路径与市场化激励机制，群众参与绿色祭祀的动力不足。

原因分析：传统祭祀习俗惯性较强，缺乏低碳祭祀方式（例如线上祭祀、纸钱换鲜花）以及有效的权益激励；殡葬服务数字化程度偏低，线上便民服务供给不足；殡葬场景碳减排核算与落地机制缺失。

改进目标：打造全国首个绿色低碳墓园，构建“生态葬式+绿电墓园+数字服务+碳积分体系”全流程低碳模式，实现园区碳减排与服务品质双提升，形成殡葬行业可复制、可推广的绿色转型范本。

Project Implementation

Bingshan Cemetery is jointly built by the Diaobingshan Civil Affairs Bureau and the Liaoning Carbon Emission Trading Center. Technically led by the Liaoning Carbon Emission Trading Center, the project is jointly advanced in collaboration with the Diaobingshan Civil Affairs Bureau and the municipal funeral parlor. The former takes charge of carbonneutrality scheme formulation, platform development, carbonaccounting technical support and system operation; the latter is responsible for onsite implementation, public liaison, offline service guarantee and publicity and promotion.

To address the highpollution and highemission problems of traditional memorial activities, greenpower construction of the cemetery and sourceside substitution for lowcarbon memorial practices are carried out. The Liaoning Carbon Emission Trading Center leads the planning and design, while the Civil Affairs Bureau and the funeral parlor deliver onsite implementation. The cemetery has taken the lead in completing environmental purification equipment. Two pine and cypress trees are planted beside each tomb on average, forming lush green coverage across 42 mu of land, with an estimated annual emission reduction of 13 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. New greenpower infrastructure including photovoltaic parking shelters, charging piles, rooftop photovoltaic systems and photovoltaic leisure corridors are constructed within the cemetery to realize selfgeneration and selfconsumption of photovoltaic power, directly replacing conventional gridpower consumption. Meanwhile, lowcarbon memorial initiatives such as “exchanging paper joss money for fresh flowers” are rolled out offline to cut carbon emissions from burning rituals at source.

To resolve inconveniences for offsite memorial activities and insufficient digital services, a fullscenario O2O digital service platform is developed. The Liaoning Carbon Emission Trading Center leads development and operation, with the funeral parlor assisting in sorting out business workflows. The Bingshan Cemetery WeChat MiniProgram was officially launched in April 2026. It provides onestop services including VR realscene preview, traceable commissioned memorial services, online memorial halls, tomblot inquiry, memorialactivity reservation and maintenance application. It connects online and offline service chains and precisely addresses painpoints for residents paying tributes from afar.

To address insufficient incentives for lowcarbon behaviors and low public participation, a dual carbonledger and carbonpoint incentive mechanism is established. Built on the selfdeveloped CarbonBenefit Hub and ZeroCarbon Cloud Memorial platforms of the Liaoning Carbon Emission Trading Center as the technical foundation, the system sets up dual carbon ledgers for the cemetery and individual users respectively. Citizens earn carbon points by taking part in lowcarbon activities such as zerocarbon cloud memorial ceremonies, exchanging paper joss money for fresh flowers and green travel. One carbon point is equivalent to a oneyuan carbonbenefit coupon, which can be directly deducted from consumption at cooperating merchants both locally and within the cemetery (including catering, accommodation, supermarkets, upstreamanddownstream funeralrelated industries, etc.), converting ecofriendly behaviors into tangible benefits.

To fill the gap in carbon accounting for the funeralandinterment sector and make emissionreduction outcomes invisible, a realtime carbonaccounting and visualdisplay system is constructed. Implemented by the team of the Liaoning Carbon Emission Trading Center, emission reductions generated by photovoltaic power generation, lowcarbon memorial practices and pine trees at tomb sites are logged into the cemetery carbon ledger in real time pursuant to unified accounting standards. Results are visualized on the cemetery data largescreen, making emissionreduction effects perceivable and traceable.

During project implementation, in response to low public acceptance of lowcarbon memorial practices, new memorial customs are gradually fostered via launchceremony publicity, interactive green blessing walls, community posters, TV displays in mourning rooms, and carbonpoint benefit guidance. For technical challenges concerning realtime carbon accounting, data interfaces of the CarbonBenefit Hub platform are integrated to enable automatic collection and dynamic synchronization of emissionreduction data.

Project Outcome

Upon project implementation, Bingshan Cemetery has achieved a systematic upgrade from the traditional highcarbon memorial model to a fullprocess lowcarbon model. Its core highlights and outcomes are as follows:

Remarkable quantifiable emissionreduction results. According to professional accounting, through multiple lowcarbon approaches including environmental purification equipment, photovoltaic green power, tree carbon sinks, zerocarbon cloud memorial ceremonies and commissioned memorial services, the cemetery can achieve an annual emission reduction of nearly 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Photovoltaic facilities realize selfgeneration and selfconsumption, directly cutting power consumption from fossil energy sources. Compared with the traditional burningbased memorial model prior to project rollout, emissions of particulate matter, flue gas and other pollutants within the cemetery have decreased substantially, bringing about a marked improvement in spatial experience.

Pioneering model innovation for the industry. The project pioneers a fullprocess lowcarbon cemetery model of “ecofriendly burial + greenpower cemetery + digital services + carbonpoint incentives”, delivering indepth integration of lowcarbon energy transition, digital service upgrading and public incentive mechanisms. It innovatively establishes a dual carbonledger mechanism for “cemetery + individual”, extending carbon emission accounting from the cemetery entity to individual behaviours. Carbon points can be accumulated via lowcarbon acts such as “exchanging paper joss money for fresh flowers”, “online memorial ceremonies” and “green travel”. Points may be redeemed for carbonbenefit coupons to obtain preferential benefits at cooperating merchants both locally and within the cemetery, covering catering, accommodation, supermarkets, and upstreamanddownstream funeralrelated industries. This creates a selfiterating virtuous operation cycle. Marketoriented consumption incentives drive proactive public participation and resolve the challenge of insufficient motivation for green memorial practices.

Technologydriven management upgrading. Leveraging professional carbontrading technical expertise, a carbonaccounting system tailormade for the funeral and interment sector is built to enable realtime collection, dynamic accounting and largescreen visual display of emissionreduction data. The online miniprogram covers fullscenario memorial services, transforming funeral services from offline standalone services to integrated O2O services, and greatly improving the cemetery’s management efficiency and service response speed.

High replicability and sustainability. Drawing on marketbased mechanisms, the project has formed a zerocost longterm collaborative operation mechanism among civilaffairs authorities, the cemetery and carbontrading institutions. The platform system supports standardized reuse, and its operational model can be rapidly replicated and promoted to cemeteries across Liaoning Province and nationwide.
