Technical Guidelines for the Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Key Carbon Emission Units in the Electricity and Chemical Industry Soliciting Opinions

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] In order to implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, actively strengthen the response to climate change, and take the carbon peak and carbon neutral goals as the leading, promote the standardized management of carbon emission verification of enterprises in the electric power and chemical industries in Jiangsu Province, The Department of Ecology and Environment of Jiangsu Province organized the drafting of the local environmental protection standards in Jiangsu Province "Technical Guidelines for the Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Key Carbon Emission Units in the Electricity and Chemical Industry (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)", and we are now soliciting opinions from relevant units
.

 

In response to the country’s directives on energy conservation, emission reduction and ecological civilization construction, Jiangsu Province has issued the "Regulations on the Protection and Development and Utilization of Climate Resources of Jiangsu Province", the "Implementation Plan for Controlling Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the 13th Five-Year Plan of Jiangsu Province", and "Jiangsu Province" The 13th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development and other regulatory and policy documents, and the "Interim Management Measures for the Greenhouse Gas Emission Reports of Key Units in Jiangsu Province" have been adopted to standardize the statistical accounting of greenhouse gas emissions from key units, and guide the response to climate change and control greenhouse gas emissions
.

 

According to the "2017-2018 Jiangsu Province Low-Carbon Development Report" and the "2019 Jiangsu Province Low-Carbon Development Report", in 2017, 2018, and 2019, the province's unit GDP energy consumption decreased by 5.
54% and 6.
18 respectively from the previous year.
%, 3.
2%, exceeding the binding target of 3% reduction
.
In the first four years of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the province's carbon emission intensity has been reduced by about 24.
5%, and the nation's "Thirteenth Five-Year" carbon intensity target has been completed ahead of schedule
.
In 2017, 2018, and 2019, the province’s unit GDP carbon dioxide emissions fell by 5.
3%, 6%, and 6%, respectively, exceeding the annual target of 4.
5% reduction; from 2016 to 2019, a cumulative reduction of 18.
2% was achieved, and the national allotment was completed ahead of schedule.
The province’s "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" goal to maintain the national leading level
.

 

　　The only local standards related to greenhouse gas emissions formulated and released by Jiangsu Province are DB32/T 1935-2011 "Regulations for Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Non-Construction Land", and there are no standards for the accounting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions for industrial enterprises
.

 

　　Therefore, researching and establishing a carbon emission standard system that meets the actual needs of Jiangsu is an important technical support for strengthening greenhouse gas emission management and responding to climate change in our province at this stage.
The construction and management of market norms is of great significance
.
This standard is based on summarizing the existing national and local carbon emission verification regulations, policies and standard experience, combined with specific issues in the carbon emission verification practice of the electric power and chemical industries in Jiangsu Province, to carry out the research and formulation of relevant verification requirements
.

 

　　This document consists of a foreword, main text, 2 appendices and references
.
The main text includes 6 parts, which respectively clarify the scope of application of this guide, normative references, terms and definitions, verification principles, verification procedures, verification scope and content, etc.
; 2 appendices are normative materials, and appendix A proposes the power industry Key points of verification technology, Appendix B puts forward the key points of verification technology for the chemical industry
.
