Key Data Set Information
Location GD-CN
Reference year 2019
Name
Electricity production ; Thermal power ; Guangdong
Use advice for data set Users of this data should note that it only accounts for direct power generation processes. It does not include considerations for upstream raw material extraction and processing, nor downstream power consumption. When applying this data set for life cycle assessments or carbon footprint calculations, be aware that the data is calculated based on the 2019 Energy Statistics Yearbook and other relevant Chinese guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions accounting in power generation facilities. It is essential that users apply the correct methodological approach aligned with these guidelines and utilize the provided emission factors when making calculations.
Technical purpose of product or process The data set pertains to the process of electricity production using thermal power generation in Guangdong. This includes the use of seventeen different types of fossil fuels such as raw coal, washed coal, oil, and natural gas. The data is specific to the direct power generation process.

Data treatment and extrapolations principles For the accounting method, please refer to the "Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting Methods and Reporting Guidelines for Power Generation Facilities". Different forms of power generation and fuel consumption come from Chapter 3 (Energy Production) and Chapter 6 (Regional Energy Balance Sheet) in the "China Energy Statistical Yearbook 2020". The fuel parameters such as low calorific value and carbon content per unit calorific value used to calculate the carbon dioxide emission factor come from the "2019 China Regional Power Grid Carbon Dioxide Baseline Emission Factor Calculation Instructions OM" and the "Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting Method and Reporting Guide for Power Generation Facilities" 》
