Definition of Zero-Carbon Factory
A zero-carbon factory refers to a facility where the greenhouse gas emissions generated during production and service processes within the accounting boundary over a specific period (usually a year), calculated in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), are fully offset. This is achieved through emission reduction projects outside the accounting boundary and/or the purchase of an equivalent amount of carbon credits, following maximum internal emission reduction efforts.
Introduction to Zero-Carbon Factory Evaluation Standards
The "Zero-Carbon Factory Evaluation Specification" T/CECA-G 0171-2022 is a group standard proposed by the China Energy Conservation Association and co-authored by TÜV Rheinland Certification (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Titan Group. This standard is applicable to enterprises establishing and achieving zero-carbon factories, as well as third-party evaluation agencies conducting assessments of zero-carbon factories.
The standard introduces a comprehensive and quantifiable evaluation framework for zero-carbon factories and defines corresponding evaluation levels. It provides concrete guidance for setting zero-carbon goals for factories in the future, addressing the gap in authoritative standards for evaluating zero-carbon factories in China and supporting factories in achieving zero-carbon emissions effectively.
