生态环境部：2024年全国电力平均碳足迹因子下降

Core Insights - The average carbon footprint factor for electricity in China for 2024 is 0.5777 kg CO2 equivalent per kWh, a decrease of 6.9% from 0.6205 kg CO2 equivalent per kWh in 2023, reflecting the progress in the clean and low-carbon transformation of the power industry [1][2][3] Group 1: Carbon Footprint Data - The 2024 carbon footprint factors include data for coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind, solar, thermal, and biomass power generation, as well as transmission and distribution, totaling 11 carbon footprint factors [2] - The number of case samples used for calculations has nearly doubled compared to last year, enhancing the representativeness and accuracy of the data [2][3] Group 2: Clean Energy Growth - The significant reduction in the carbon footprint factor is primarily due to the rapid increase in clean energy generation, with wind, solar, and hydro power generation growing by 12.5%, 43.6%, and 10.9% respectively [3] - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to continue regular assessments of the carbon footprint factors, aiming to improve the scientific accuracy and representativeness of the data [3]
