Enterprises collect, purify and liquefy the waste carbon dioxide generated in the production process, and the obtained liquid carbon dioxide can be widely used It is used in various fields such as mechanical processing, chemical synthesis, oil exploration, etc., so that it can not only directly reduce the carbon emissions of enterprises, but also increase the income of enterprises by using the commercial value of carbon dioxide. In recent years, the demand for liquid carbon dioxide in my country has been increasing year by year. Dalian Free Trade Zone and Dalian Petroleum Exchange have seized the opportunity to innovate and introduce new types of liquid carbon dioxide trading based on online trading platforms, and transfer liquid carbon dioxide trading from traditional offline transactions to online transactions.

Compared with the traditional offline "face-to-face" negotiation transaction mode, the online "back-to-back" bidding transaction mode can better reflect the national unified big market principle of "efficient standardization, fair competition, and full openness", reducing the intermediate links in the transaction. It simplifies the transaction process, makes the commodity price close to the market value to the greatest extent, avoids the risk of "buying high and selling low" between the transaction parties, and truly reflects the decisive role of the market in resource allocation.
In the next step, the Dalian Free Trade Zone will cooperate with the Dalian Petroleum Exchange to take advantage of the policy advantages of the free trade zone and start with the online trading of liquid carbon dioxide to give full play to Dalian's advantages in the petrochemical industry and port resources. Explore the establishment of a carbon asset and carbon emission index trading center in Northeast China to help achieve the national "double carbon" goal.
