  • This working paper addresses widespread errors in the emission factors used for accounting for indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased electricity in China. It notes that incorrect factors used in 2010 could lead to a 49 percent over-estimation of emissions and warns that such inaccuracies distort signals for GHG mitigation decisions. Drawing on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1:2006, the paper provides detailed calculation processes and default emission factors for China's regional grids to guide policy makers and corporate users.
