Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon footprint analysis, and in particular to a method for evaluating the data quality of a carbon footprint. Background Art

[0002] With social progress and economic development, human civilization is also facing increasingly severe difficulties and challenges in terms of environment, resources and population, among which: environmental impacts include climate change, acidification, particulate matter, resource utilization, photochemical ozone formation, ozone layer depletion, human toxicity, ionizing radiation, land use, water consumption, ecotoxicity, eutrophication, etc. Climate change, as a category of impact for measuring carbon footprint, has received great attention from countries, enterprises and research institutions in recent years. At present, a lot of carbon footprint research has been carried out in China, and various carbon footprint certificates have appeared on the market. Related research is basically based on the international standard ISO 14067-2018. The standard lists the quality items that the data must meet, and there is no set of methods, qualitative or quantitative evaluation requirements to constrain it. The quality of data is the biggest constraint on the application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, and it is also an important basis for the comparison, credibility and effectiveness of carbon footprint results. Therefore, scientific, comprehensive and efficient evaluation of data quality is a necessary condition for improving the reliability of carbon footprint results.

[0003] The carbon footprint research currently being conducted basically does not have any qualitative or quantitative evaluation of data quality. Relevant research only uses uncertainty representation to represent the overall data quality. None of the above methods take into account the specific characteristics of the entire data quality of the carbon footprint research. Although the latter can express the uncertainty of a single data, when the data used is not suitable for the research purpose, it will lead to poor data quality in the carbon footprint research results and will not be able to provide comparable expression results.
