The National Energy Administration has released the Carbon Emission Evaluation Standard for the Renewable Energy Power Generation sector. This standard aims to guide the assessment of carbon emissions in relation to the lifecycle of renewable energy projects.
On January 16, 2026, the National Energy Administration published the Guidelines for the Assessment of Carbon Emissions in Renewable Energy Power Generation Projects. This document outlines the methods and standards for evaluating the carbon emissions associated with the entire lifecycle of renewable energy projects, including construction, operation, and decommissioning phases.
According to the guidelines, the evaluation metrics are tailored for projects that utilize renewable energy sources, providing a systematic approach to assess their carbon footprint. The focus is on establishing robust criteria that align with the current energy transition goals and carbon neutrality targets.
The guidelines specify the requirements for data collection, assessment methodology, and evaluation criteria, ensuring that all renewable energy projects comply with the new standards. The aim is to facilitate a clear understanding of the carbon emissions produced throughout the project lifecycle, from development to decommissioning.
The document also emphasizes the importance of integrating carbon management practices into renewable energy projects, thereby promoting sustainable energy development. Furthermore, it encourages the adoption of advanced technologies and innovative practices to enhance carbon reduction efforts.
In addition, the guidelines outline key performance indicators that project developers should adhere to when implementing renewable energy initiatives. This includes establishing transparent reporting mechanisms to track carbon emissions and improve accountability.
As part of the effort to standardize carbon emission evaluations, these guidelines will contribute to the broader goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the energy sector, fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to energy production.
