CEADs provides available CO2 Emission Inventories for industry process in China.
Global Refinery Emission Inventory 2000-2018 (100km*100km grid)
The oil refining industry remains the third-largest stationary emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, contributing 4% of the total global emissions in 2018. Our research investigates the current emission patterns of global oil refineries and their emission reduction potential by developing a time-series, technical-specific Global Refinery Emission Inventory with annual production and CO2 emission of oil refining industry from 2000 to 2018.
Input Inventory on China's Power Transmission Projects
By collecting a high-resolution inventory, we developed an assessment framework of, and analysed, the GHG emissions caused by China’s power transmission infrastructure construction during 1990–2017. We show that cumulative embodied GHG emissions have dramatically increased by more than 7.3 times those in 1990, reaching 0.89 GtCO2-equivalent in 2017. Over the same period, the gaps between the well-developed eastern and less-developed western regions in China have gradually narrowed. Voltage class, transmission-line length and terrain were important factors that influenced embodied GHG emissions. We discuss measures for the mitigation of GHG emissions from power transmission development that can inform global low-carbon infrastructure transitions.
