A real-time estimation method of carbon emission for cement corporations based on load identification

Abstract

Abstract Accurate carbon emission estimation is the basis for assessing the carbon emissions of various regions and industries and formulating reasonable and feasible emission reduction programs. This paper presents a generalized real-time corporate carbon footprint measurement method. The total carbon emissions are categorized into direct emissions and indirect emissions. For the former, a load identification method based on CNN-BLSTM is proposed to monitor the state of the devices, and the carbon emissions are directly calculated in combination with the carbon emission intensity of the devices; for the latter, accurate estimation of carbon emissions is achieved through the application of marginal carbon emission factor. By utilizing this analytical model, the estimated carbon emissions are more accurate than those of other methods, which can better grasp the carbon emissions of enterprises and promote energy saving and emission reduction.
