Abstract

Abstract:

Based on a large number of literature and reports, this paper expounds on the connotation of non-energy use link, and summarizes and compares the core characteristics, construction concept, framework design principle, development process, application scope, advantages and disadvantages of different types of non-energy use and its corresponding GHG emissions accounting models caused by them. The results show that the IPCC-RA method can improve the accounting efficiency of non-energy use and its corresponding GHG emissions, and the IPCC-SA method can identify its source term distribution characteristics. The NEAT model can depict the impact of international trade structure on carbon flow in petrochemical products. The EPA-specific model is only for the United States. IPCC-RA can macroscopically control the evolution law of GHG emission corresponding to the energy consumption of raw materials in China and the distribution characteristics of the contribution of different fossil fuels to GHG emission from non-energy use. Therefore, based on IPCC-RA, the carbon emission and carbon storage of energy consumption for non-energy use purposed in China’s industrial sector were calculated. The results show that the energy consumption for non-energy use purposed from 2010 to 2020 was mainly petroleum, and the contribution of raw coal and naphtha to the carbon emission of energy consumption for non-energy use purposed was higher than that of other fossil fuels. The existing international models cannot effectively describe the effect of China’s unique petrochemical product trade structure on the carbon flow in the non-energy use link. It is suggested that in the follow-up study, the raw material energy consumption database of various process categories of different products at the enterprise level and the localized product-raw material matrix should be developed, and the localized fossil fuels consumption for non-energy use purposed and its corresponding GHG emissions accounting and prediction bottom-up model should be built.

Key words: Non-energy use and its corresponding GHG emissions, IPCC guidance method, NEAT model
