On November 17, the "China Listed Company Carbon Emissions Ranking (2021)" was released in Beijing, which was jointly produced by Caijing and other institutions

While publishing this year's carbon emission rankings, this paper systematically reviews China's policy documents on "double carbon" in order to provide readers with a reference

The "China Listed Company Carbon Emissions Ranking (2021)" consists of the "Total List" and "Intensity List"
.
The total list is based on the total direct and indirect carbon dioxide emissions of listed companies in 2020, in descending order
.

This year's list covers 100 high-carbon emission companies listed on A shares and Hong Kong shares, which are distributed in eight key high-energy-consuming industries of petrochemicals, chemicals, building materials, steel, non-ferrous metals, papermaking, electricity, and aviation
.

In terms of data sources, the list first refers to the carbon dioxide emissions disclosed by each company
.
For the 53 companies that did not actively disclose, the list uses key information such as output and energy consumption disclosed by the companies, and estimates with reference to the accounting guidelines issued by the government, various industry standards, scientific research papers and other materials
.
In addition, the chemical industry only selects companies that have voluntarily disclosed carbon emissions data
.

It is reported that the total amount of emissions from the chemical industry is relatively small, but the intensity is relatively high
