Nine key industries such as building materials will carry out carbon emission evaluation

Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment issued a notice stating that the "Guidelines for the Preparation of Carbon Emission Evaluation of Construction Projects in Zhejiang Province (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") will be officially implemented from August 8
.

This is for Zhejiang to implement the central and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality related decision-making deployment and document spirit, give full play to the fundamental role of the environmental impact assessment system in source prevention and control, and process management, and promote the "two highs" industry Coordinated control of pollution and carbon reduction, and the actual actions taken to standardize and guide the carbon emission assessment work in the environmental impact assessment process of construction projects
.

The "Guide" is applicable to nine key industries including steel, thermal power, building materials, chemical industry, petrochemical, non-ferrous metals, papermaking, printing and dyeing, chemical fiber and other nine key industries within Zhejiang Province.

.

The "Guide" proposes that the key industries' greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide accounting methods should be given priority to refer to the corresponding industry's "Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting and Reporting Requirements" standard.
If there is no corresponding industry standard, refer to the Development and Reform Office Climate [2013] No.
No.
2920 and the "Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting Methods and Reporting Guidelines" issued by the key industries such as the Development and Reform Office Climate [2015] No.
1722 and other documents are used for accounting
.

The "Guide" encourages projects with particularly large carbon emissions such as thermal power, coal chemical industry, cement and steel to propose further development of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) or implementation of carbon neutral pilot programs to effectively reduce the rapid increase in regional carbon emissions caused by project implementation
.

For the carbon emission evaluation of construction projects, the "Guide" stipulates that a general summary will be made based on the compliance of carbon emission policies, carbon emission status, pollution reduction and carbon reduction measures and feasibility, carbon emission level, carbon emission control measures and monitoring plans
