Research On Petro China’s Carbon Performance Evaluation System Under The Background Of “Dual Carbon” Goal

In recent years,with the rapid growth of economic development,more and more high carbon emissions generated by human production and operation activities gradually feed back to humanity,bringing heavy disasters to people.Economic growth brings with it the increasing consumption and destruction of environmental resources,and the growing gap between the overall effects of economy,environment,energy,and the three aspects of development.In response,the country has clearly stated in the "11th Five Year Plan","12th Five Year Plan",and "13th Five Year Plan" that the principle of sustainable development should be adhered to,and attention should be paid to protecting ecology and energy while promoting China’s economic development,so that China’s economic and social development can develop in harmony with resources and ecology."Double carbon" was included in the "double carbon" goal for the first time in 2021,and "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral" were the focus of national work during the "14th Five Year Plan" period."Opinions on Completely,Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization" is a document issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on October 24,2021,which specifies the need to establish a green,low-carbon,and sustainable economic system,and further deepens the understanding of China’s economic system on this basis."Opinions on Completely,Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization" is a document issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on October 24,2021,which specifies the need to establish a green,low-carbon,and sustainable economic system,and further deepens the understanding of China’s economic system on this basis.This requires future Chinese companies to conduct comprehensive and thorough low-carbon development in the direction of "dual carbon".In the context of the "dual carbon" goal,the government vigorously promotes a low-carbon economy.As a "three high"(high pollution,high emissions,and high energy consumption)enterprise,the "three high" characteristics of petroleum enterprises determine that their development must take the "low carbon" path.Firstly,under the policy background of the "dual carbon" goal,this article takes China National Petroleum Corporation(hereinafter referred to as "Petro China")as a research case to conduct in-depth analysis of carbon performance evaluation.Based on relevant theoretical foundations,combined with the concept and evaluation of carbon performance,and based on the overview of Petro China companies and their low-carbon strategies,through the study of the carbon performance evaluation system of Petro China companies,identify the existing problems;As the current performance evaluation system of Petro China is not yet sound in terms of low-carbon management,and there is no independent carbon performance evaluation system.Therefore,we plan to consider the four dimensions of economy,energy,environment,and effectiveness to build a carbon performance evaluation index system for Petro China enterprises,and design relevant carbon performance indicators.The indicator model includes4 first level indicators,8 second level indicators,and 27 third level indicators.The entropy weight method is used to objectively assign weights to each indicator,and then the comprehensive index method and TOPSIS method are used to determine the performance evaluation value.According to the analysis,the results show that although the overall carbon emission reduction performance of Chinese petroleum companies has improved in the past five years,from the perspective of coordination of the four dimensions of economy,energy,environment,and effect,there are still problems such as uncoordinated development in various dimensions,emphasizing economy over environment,and low energy efficiency.In terms of researching and developing low-carbon key technologies,improving energy efficiency,and optimizing the energy structure,greater efforts are still neededFinally,this study provides relevant suggestions for Petro China itself,the country,and the industry based on the shortcomings and deficiencies found in the analysis of the results.From the enterprise level,the first is to require Petro China to increase the level of scientific and technological investment and improve the process flow of production units.Starting from reducing CO2 emissions in raw materials,energy-saving technological transformation can be carried out by reducing CO2 content in raw materials,improving reaction rate,and improving equipment processing capacity.It is also possible to adopt new technologies and equipment to carry out energy-saving transformation on existing old technologies,including adopting energy-saving process and equipment,using new energy-saving materials,etc;The second is to develop alternative process technologies and new clean energy technologies,and strengthen carbon recycling and circular economy construction.Petro China can reduce carbon emissions by adopting clean energy technologies such as solar and wind energy.Improving carbon efficiency without increasing energy consumption can develop new processes and optimize existing process conditions and equipment.Waste gas,wastewater,and other wastes in the production process of petrochemical enterprises contain carbon,which can be recycled and reused to reduce carbon emissions.Third,increase investment in environmental protection and further promote the implementation of ecological civilization construction.Fourth,improve the carbon performance management system and internal management mechanism.At the national and industry levels,first,carbon emissions should be included in enterprise performance assessment to improve the carbon management capabilities of enterprises.Implement a carbon emissions trading mechanism,and the government formulates carbon emissions trading rules for enterprises,including quota allocation rules,quota exit rules,emission reduction accounting rules,and price formation mechanisms;Second,improve the carbon emissions trading mechanism and establish an incentive mechanism.The government formulates corporate carbon emissions trading rules,including quota allocation rules,quota exit rules,emission reduction accounting rules,and price formation mechanisms.
