Standard meaning

These difficulties are the focus of the Guide. The standard system will be divided into organization greenhouse gas emission accounting, project greenhouse gas emission reduction accounting, product carbon footprint accounting, etc., according to the different accounting objects and accounting boundaries.

The GHG emission accounting standards of organizations mainly include the GHG emission accounting standards of processes/units, enterprises, parks and other organizational levels. Among them, at the process/unit level, focus on the development of greenhouse gas emissions accounting standards for processes or units with a higher proportion of greenhouse gas emissions in the whole process; At the level of enterprises and parks, GHG emission accounting standards should be formulated for enterprises and parks with large direct energy consumption in industrial production, large indirect energy consumption such as electricity and heat, and large greenhouse gas emissions in the production process.

Project GHG emission reduction accounting standards mainly regulate the benchmark selection, accounting method, accounting scope and emission factors of GHG emissions at the project level, including the general requirements for GHG emission reduction assessment, project-based GHG emission reduction assessment technical specifications and other standards. Greenhouse gas emission reduction accounting standards will be formulated for projects that have significant energy saving and consumption reduction effects and can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as the recovery and utilization of energy storage and residual energy, comprehensive utilization of resources, and raw/fuel substitution.

Product carbon footprint accounting standards mainly regulate the accounting of the total amount of greenhouse gases directly and indirectly emitted by industrial products during their life cycle, including product category rules, carbon footprint assessment and other standards. Focus on the development of carbon footprint accounting standards for typical industrial products with large volume and wide coverage or high carbon emission intensity during the life cycle.

In addition, the “Guide” also clearly to technology and equipment, monitoring, management standards into the system, equipment standards mainly refers to the relevant technology and equipment standards that can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial field, including greenhouse gas source control, production process control, end management and collaborative carbon reduction and other four categories. Monitoring standards mainly refer to the relevant detection and monitoring standards that can quantify the concentration and intensity of greenhouse gas emissions and their impact on the environment, including monitoring technology, monitoring analysis methods, monitoring equipment and systems. Management and evaluation mainly refers to a series of management activities and evaluation to achieve carbon reduction objectives. Management and evaluation standards include low-carbon evaluation, carbon emission management, and carbon asset management.

Because of the top-level design, multi-sectoral collaboration is also possible for long and complex industrial carbon footprint reduction. According to the “Guide”, the future will also strengthen the construction of relevant standardization technology organizations, strengthen the effective connection between the middle and downstream standards on the industrial chain, and the coordination between national standards, industry standards and group standards. And guide the industry’s leading enterprises, scientific research institutes, social groups, testing and certification bodies, industry low-carbon standardization technical organizations, local industry and information technology authorities to actively participate in the standardization work, encourage enterprises to develop stricter than the national standards and industry standards of enterprise standards, promote enterprises to accelerate the realization of low-carbon transformation.
