Comparison of GHG Emission Quantification Methods for Coal-Fired Electric Power Enterprises

doi:10.11930/j.issn.1004-9649.2014.2.120.5

Abstract

Abstract: GHG emissions in China are mainly from fossil fuel combustion in electrical power generation, which make it the key element of GHG management in China. Ensuring the accuracy of GHG quantification in electric power enterprises is essential to the GHG management. In this paper, through the analysis and comparison of measurement data from a coal-fired power plant, the differences between those quantification methods for typical sources of GHG emissions as well as the root cause of these differences are investigated. In combination with the general situation of the power plants in China, proposals on GHG quantification methods for electric power enterprises are put forward conforming to international practices and China’s current situation.

Key words: GHG, carbon emission, electric power enterprise, coal combustion, GHG quantification method, on-line monitoring
