Use advice for data set Users of this data should refer to the 'Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting Methods and Reporting Guidelines for Power Generation Facilities' for the accounting method. Data on different forms of power generation and fuel consumption are taken from Chapter 3 (Energy Production) and Chapter 6 (Regional Energy Balance Sheet) of the 'China Energy Statistical Yearbook 2020'. Fuel parameters for calculating CO2 emission factors, like low calorific value and carbon content per unit calorific value, can be sourced from the '2019 China Regional Power Grid Carbon Dioxide Baseline Emission Factor Calculation Instructions OM' and the aforementioned guidelines. It is imperative that users only apply this data for the specified scopes of direct power generation and not for lifecycle analysis that includes upstream and downstream processes.

Data set use approval

General comment 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
