The Enlightenment of GHG MRV under US EPA and EU ETS for China Power Generation

doi:10.11930/j.issn.1004-9649.2013.5.77.5

Abstract

Abstract: The measurement、reporting and verification (MRV) of the GHG emissions are the fundamental work for the GHG management in each country. The power generation is the main source of GHG, and it is the key content of GHG management. This paper pays more attention on introducing the MRV methods applied to GHG emissions from electric enterprises by Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting (GHGRP) of US Federal Government and European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Through the analysis of the differences between GHGRP and EU ETS in controlled objects, GHG categories, GHG monitoring, reporting, verification, etc. This paper discusses the enlightenment from GHG management work in US and EU, especially towards the carbon emission management work in electric sector of China.

Key words: carbon emission, greenhouse gas, GHGRP, EU ETS, electric enterprise
