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] 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 [1] - The quantification work for 2024 has significantly increased the number of case samples, with the number of participating enterprises nearly doubling compared to last year, enhancing the representativeness of the data [1] Group 2: Clean Energy Growth - The decline in the average carbon footprint factor is primarily attributed to the rapid growth of clean energy generation, with wind, solar, and hydro power generation increasing by 12.5%, 43.6%, and 10.9% respectively compared to the previous year [2] - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to continue regular assessments of the carbon footprint factors, aiming to expand the coverage and improve the scientific accuracy and representativeness of the data [2]
