Abstract

Accurate accounting of indirect carbon emissions from electricity is conducive to motivating market entities to proactively and voluntarily reduce emissions, fairly promoting regional emissions reductions, and accelerating the formation of green and low-carbon consumption models. Based on the analysis of the problems faced by China's power carbon emission accounting, this paper considers different transaction types such as market-based electricity consumption, priority power purchase, and power grid agency power purchase, and proposes an indirect carbon emission accounting method for enterprise power sources based on power transaction data. The effectiveness of the proposed model and method is verified through case calculations for high-energy-consuming enterprises. The method proposed in this article can accurately describe the power consumption structure of enterprises and effectively encourage market entities to proactively and voluntarily reduce emissions.
