Carbon emission accounting for peak-shaving LNG plant and suggestions on emission reduction countermeasures by Hengjin HU, Dongming ZHANG, Xingxing GAO, Dawei WANG

“…Indirect emissions from electricity constituted the largest share, reaching 66.95%, followed by emissions from fuel combustion, processes, and flare combustion, accounting for 18.42%, 12.58%, and 1.79% respectively. Fugitive emissions made up 0.27% of the total emissions. Conclusion According to the carbon emission composition and intensity characteristics of this plant, suggestions for carbon emission reduction countermeasures are proposed from four aspects: (1) employing cold energy power generation technologies and purchasing green electricity as complementary sources; (2) implementing energy conservation transformations through energy conservation and emission reduction measures; (3) optimizing seal gas sources for the flare system, and utilizing Boil-off Gas (BOG) as an additional gas source for the fuel gas system; (4) deploying carbon capture and recycling facilities. …”
