- Abstract:
- As a critical industry for livelihood projects and a significant energy consumer, the urban water supply sector will play a key role in carbon reduction in the national “dual carbon” plan in the future. Focusing on a water supply enterprise in Suzhou as the research subject, a carbon emission accounting method for urban water supply system operation had been constructed, and the primary sources of carbon emissions were analyzed. The result showed that the carbon emission intensity of the water supply system was 0.196 kgCO2-eq/m3 in 2022, with the most significant carbon emission source being electric energy consumption, accounting for 86.08%, followed by chemical consumption at 13.58%. Based on the carbon accounting results, carbon emission reduction strategies for urban water supply system operation had been proposed from several aspects, including energy conservation, water saving, energy management optimization, all aimed at achieving the “dual carbon” goals for the water supply industry.
