Abstract:

The CO2 emissions of China power industry is the main source of CO2 emissions. The CO2 emissions of thermal power plants account for the largest proportion in the power industry. Under the goal of “double carbon”, CO2 accounting technology can realize the intuitive judgment of CO2 emissions in thermal power plants, provide important support for CO2 emission reduction in thermal power plants, promote thermal power plants to participate in carbon trading, and drive regional economic development. Combined with domestic and foreign policies, the implementation progress of the current general CO2 accounting methods was discussed. The problems existing in the CO2 accounting methods of thermal power plants based on carbon accounting and supplemented by carbon monitoring were summarized. The key and difficult points of the application of CO2 accounting technology in thermal power plants were analyzed. Finally, the development and application of CO2 accounting technology in thermal power plants were prospected.

Key words: thermal power plant, dual carbon, CO2 accounting, carbon estimating, carbon monitoring
