Analysis and Suggestions on the Current Situation of Carbon Emission Verification and Monitoring in Electric Power Enterprises

Establishment of the carbon market is an important means to solve greenhouse gas emissions. With the proposal of the national "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" goal, the power industry, as the largest carbon emitting industry in China, has become one of the first pioneers to enter the national carbon trading market under the dual carbon target. The biggest challenge of a carbon trading mechanism is to verify the actual carbon emissions. To establish a carbon emissions trading system, it is first necessary to allocate quotas for key emission enterprises. The basis of quota allocation is the carbon dioxide emissions of enterprises, so the accounting of carbon dioxide emissions is an important basic work. China's carbon emission verification has been in operation for many years, and the operation of the carbon trading market has also made positive progress. However, there are still many imperfect issues in the carbon emission verification work. This article analyzes the current status of carbon emission verification in the power industry, the key verification contents of carbon emission verification in the power industry, and the current status of carbon emission monitoring in power enterprises, and puts forward relevant suggestions based on the current status of carbon emission verification and monitoring in the power industry.
