蚂蚁金服宣布上线“碳账户”，支付宝从此能种树 - 支付宝,蚂蚁金服 - IT资讯
8月27日，蚂蚁金服宣布为旗下支付宝平台的4.5亿实名用户，推出了“碳账户”。官方宣称，这将是迄今全球最大的个人碳账户平台。
蚂蚁金服表示，用户登录支付宝，加入“蚂蚁森林”公益行动，就可以获得虚拟树苗一棵。每天精心培育，这棵树长大后，我们就会在现实世界种下一棵真树。
据了解，“碳账户”被蚂蚁金服定义为支付宝三大账户之一(资金账户、信用账户、碳账户)，用于度量人们一些日常活动的碳减排量。蚂蚁金服认为未来金融是绿色金融，人们未来生活方式是绿色生活方式。
“碳账户”将致力于打造成全球最大的低碳生活衡量、交易、共享平台，不仅可以让人记录低碳绿色足迹，也可以形成人们的绿色减排活动形成碳资产的交易账户，未来条件成熟，可能实现碳资产买卖、投资。
支付宝“碳账户”计划项目将分阶段进行，在支付宝客户端里，首期“碳账户”概念着重突出用户碳减排的公益价值，被设计为一款“蚂蚁森林”公益行动：用户如果步行、地铁出行、在线缴纳水电煤气费、网上缴交通罚单、网络挂号、网络购票等行为，就会减少相应的碳排放量，可以用来在支付宝里养一棵虚拟的树。
这棵树长大后，公益组织、环保企业等蚂蚁生态伙伴们，可以“买走”用户的“树”，而在现实某个地域种下一棵实体的树。据悉，首期用户的虚拟树将由阿拉善SEE基金会在内蒙古阿拉善盟地区种植。
碳账户的直接意义，在于让人们更清晰地感知到可持续行为的成就感。蚂蚁金服和北京环境交易所合作，开发了计算相应减排量的方法学。
通过支付宝完成日常小事，有了明确、可计量的碳减排效果，如果每个人完成3个一次：每天一次1公里内步行上班代替其他交通方式；每月线上缴一次水电煤气费；每周在超市等使用5次支付宝消灭纸质单据，能够实现人均每天减排量142g。
根据数据统计，如果4.5亿支付宝用户都能这样行动起来，每年完成的减排总量可以折合为在中国东北地区新造约4.1万平方公里乔木林一年的林业碳汇量，造林面积相当于小半个大兴安岭的面积。
