T/CECRPA 011-2024 Greenhouse gas product carbon footprint quantification methods and requirements photovoltaic module
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the methods and requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint of photovoltaic module products. This document applies to the quantification of carbon footprints for ground-mounted crystalline silicon photovoltaic module products, and the results can serve as the basis for various applications such as product carbon footprint performance evaluation, product carbon footprint disclosure, and environmental information disclosure. Carbon offsetting is not within the scope of product carbon footprint quantification. This document only addresses a single impact type, namely climate change, and does not evaluate other potential environmental impacts or social and economic impacts of the product life cycle. Main Technical Content: 6.1 Standard Framework The standard structure framework includes the following content: - Preface - 1 Applicability - 2 Normative References - 3 Terms and Definitions - 4 Purpose and Scope of Quantification - 5 Inventory Analysis - 6 Impact Assessment - 7 Interpretation of Results - 8 Product Carbon Footprint Report This standard contains 8 chapters, 2 informative appendices, and 1 normative appendix. The content arrangement primarily aims to meet the requirements of the "Greenhouse Gas Product Carbon Footprint Quantification Requirements and Guidelines", while maintaining consistency with the existing technical specification system. 6.2 Applicability This document adopts the same approach as the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards (GB/T 24040 and GB/T 24044) to specify the principles, methods, and requirements for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of photovoltaic modules. This document applies to research on the carbon footprint of ground-mounted crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, and the results can serve as the basis for various applications such as product carbon footprint information disclosure and product carbon footprint performance evaluation.
