Two GHG emissions accounting documents for comments

　　Sinochem New Network News In order to effectively improve the quality of carbon emission data in the national carbon emission trading market (hereinafter referred to as the "national carbon market"), improve the long-term mechanism of data quality management, and strengthen the daily supervision of data quality, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently issued the "Guidelines for Accounting Methods and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Enterprises". Power Generation Facilities (Draft for Comments) (hereinafter referred to as the "Accounting and Reporting Guidelines") and "Technical Guidelines for the Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Enterprises". Power Generation Facilities (Draft for Comments) (hereinafter referred to as the "Technical Guidelines for Verification") is open to the public for comments.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, there are some outstanding problems in the quality management of carbon data during the operation of the first compliance cycle of the national carbon market. In particular, in terms of carbon emission accounting and emission report verification, there are problems such as cumbersome accounting technical specifications, complex calculation of some parameters, unclear accounting boundaries, difficult verification, scientificity, rationality and operability of accounting report verification still need to be further improved, and the carbon emission accounting quality control system needs to be improved urgently.

　　He further pointed out that the Accounting and Reporting Guidelines are used to guide emitting enterprises to account for and report emission data and information related to power generation facilities, further improve the content of enterprise data quality control plans, and supplement the way data is determined. Combined with the requirements of strengthening management, the internal quality control and quality assurance content of enterprise data are refined. Specifically, the optimized and updated content of the Accounting Reporting Guidelines mainly covers the compression of the accounting technical parameter chain, the strengthening of the data quality control plan, the strengthening of evidence preservation and daily supervision, and the enhancement of the operability of relevant regulations. The first is to compress the accounting technology chain, delete unnecessary parameters, and reduce the number of formulas involved in verification in the original guidelines from 27 to 12 after revision, which greatly reduces the number of accounting, verification and supervision nodes; The second is to simplify the complex and replace the data that needs to be converted with direct measurement data; Third, by strengthening the role of data quality control plan, we will further strengthen the requirements for data quality management and refine the relevant requirements for information storage. Fourth, in terms of the technical details of the guidelines, the differences in the measurement and monitoring levels of various enterprises and the accounting and management needs of the carbon market should be comprehensively considered to improve operability.

　　The verification content of the verification is corresponding to the accounting and reporting content of the accounting and reporting of the accounting and reporting of power generation facilities, and sorts out 18 key parameters, and gives detailed verification methods for each parameter in a targeted manner, which not only clarifies the "prescribed actions" of the inspectors, but also clarifies their "optional actions" when necessary.
