Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper reports on a feasibility study on the establishment of a GHG emission reporting system on China’s industrial enterprises. Based on an analysis of possible influencing factors, the paper suggests that a GHG emission reporting system in China may be primarily designed by considering six aspects: scope, content, method, frequency, channel and assurance. Through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a priority setting for this system was further proposed , in which the reporting object is each individual industrial enterprise, the measuring method is an estimate-measure combined method, the absolute emission value is reported annually through an individual platform, and the self-declaration and the administrative verification are integrated. Besides, a computer-based reporting tool is also developed. Finally, this study recommends a procedure timeline and several supporting conditions that will facilitate the establishment of a GHG emission reporting system on China’s industrial enterprises.
