Key Data Set Information
Location GS-CN
Reference year 2019
Name
Electricity production ; Thermal power ; Gansu
Use advice for data set Users of this data set should utilize it specifically for evaluating direct emissions from thermal power generation in Gansu and for calculating carbon dioxide emission factors. It is vital to adhere to the methodological framework provided in the 'Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting Methods and Reporting Guidelines for Power Generation Facilities' when analyzing the data. Additionally, calculations should align with the parameters and statistics from the 2019 Energy Statistics Yearbook and the '2019 China Regional Power Grid Carbon Dioxide Baseline Emission Factor Calculation Instructions OM'. Users must ensure they are not incorporating upstream or downstream processes (e.g., fuel extraction or end-user electricity consumption) into their assessment when using this data.
Technical purpose of product or process The data set pertains to thermal power generation processes located in Gansu, China. It includes a variety of fossil fuels like raw coal, washed coal, petroleum, and natural gas for the production of electricity. This process is used to provide electric power to industrial, residential, and commercial sectors within regional networks. It should be noted that the data only encompasses the direct generation of electricity and does not account for the life cycle stages involving raw material extraction, processing or the consumption phase of the electricity produced.
Classification
Class name : Hierarchy level
  • ILCD: Unit processes / Energy carriers and technologies / Electricity
General comment on data set Thermal power generation includes seventeen fossil fuels such as raw coal, washed coal, oil and natural gas. The process only considers the direct power generation process, not the upstream raw material extraction and processing and the downstream power consumption
