T/CMSS 0024-2026 Guidelines for greenhouse gas emission accounting in “zero-waste city” construction
Basic Information
Scope
This document applies to the accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions in the construction of "Waste-Free Cities", providing definitions of terms such as "Waste-Free City", "solid waste", "renewable waste", "source reduction", "utilization", and "greenhouse gases", as well as the basic principles for calculating the carbon emission reduction benefits of renewable energy, recycled materials, or products generated during the processing of solid waste. It clearly defines the accounting boundary of greenhouse gas emissions in the construction of "Waste-Free Cities", which mainly includes general industrial solid waste, renewable waste, municipal solid waste, construction waste, agricultural solid waste, municipal sludge, and hazardous waste; treatment technologies include material utilization, aerobic composting, anaerobic digestion, biological utilization, land application, backfilling/filling, incineration, and landfilling; and the scope of accounting includes emissions from fossil fuel combustion, process emissions, purchased electricity and heat emissions, emissions from material consumption, and avoided emissions. It stipulates the complete workflow for accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions in "Waste-Free Cities", and provides accounting formulas for each step. The appendix provides default values for parameters, data collection forms, and report format templates, etc.
