Accounting for carbon dioxide emissions and exploring carbon reduction in petrochemical enterprises
In order to understand the carbon emissions of a petrochemical enterprise and develop emission reduction measures,an annual carbon dioxide(CO2)emissions accounting for the enterprise was conducted,following relevant guidelines.The scope of the accounting includes power generation facilities and petrochemical equipments.For processes contributing significantly to CO2 emissions,effective and rational emission reduction measures were implemented or planned,including side-line tests for CO2 capture and purification,establishing a demonstration unit for CO2 capture in coal-fired flue gas,researching and applying nitrous oxide(N2O)decomposition catalysts,and enhancing the electrification rate of equipments.The implementation of carbon reduction measures directly or indirectly reduces the enterprise's CO2 emissions,which promotes the progress in low-carbon environmental protection,energy conservation and consumption reduction,and quality and efficiency enhancement,which can provide reference for similar enterprises.
