Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon emission accounting, and more specifically to a method for calculating the greenhouse gas emission intensity of a wind farm throughout its entire life cycle, taking into account land use change. Background Technology
[0003] Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a common method for estimating the emission intensity of renewable energy. Numerous LCA studies have analyzed and estimated greenhouse gas emissions from wind energy in China. An overview of wind energy assessment in China is provided below. Figure 1 Wind greenhouse gas emissions are shown in the figures and in other countries (e.g., Alsaleh and Sattler, 2019; Seresová et al., 2020; Teffera et al., 2021). Figure 1 It is known that, using existing methods, the carbon dioxide emission equivalent of wind farms deployed on grasslands is underestimated by 3%–77%, while that of wind farms deployed in forests is underestimated by more than 11.5%. However, most studies focus on specific wind farms or wind turbines, resulting in significant discrepancies in the results. This is primarily due to differences in assumptions regarding turbine size, design, and the specific wind energy potential of the site. Previous research has shown that ignoring carbon emissions caused by land-use change significantly underestimates the life-cycle environmental impact of various renewable energy projects.
[0004] In the wind power sector, traditional accounting methods fail to consider vegetation carbon loss, soil organic carbon loss, and ecosystem service function decline caused by land occupation. This could lead to an underestimation of emissions from wind farms located in forest ecosystems by 37.9%. Ignoring the impact of land-use changes associated with wind farm deployment could result in a significant overestimation of greenhouse gas emission reduction potential and provide misleading information for energy structure optimization policies. Furthermore, existing life-cycle accounting models have another significant flaw: they fail to adequately incorporate the dynamic changes in the actual operating performance of wind turbines. Specifically, the actual wind speed characteristics at wind turbine sites, and the nonlinear degradation of power generation performance due to equipment aging and failures over an operating cycle of up to 20 years (or longer), are often simplified or ignored. This approach causes discrepancies between the theoretical or expected power generation calculations and the actual values, ultimately leading to inaccurate calculations of greenhouse gas emission intensity (carbon emission intensity) per unit of power generation.
[0005] Wind farms generally have higher land use intensity than other renewable energy and fossil fuel power plants. Land use change caused by large-scale deployment will have a huge impact on heat and water fluxes and global carbon cycle. However, traditional life cycle assessment methods ignore the indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by land use change. The removal of vegetation reduces the storage of biomass, resulting in the loss of vegetation carbon pool. In addition, the on-site construction of impervious surfaces such as turbine foundations and roads will inhibit carbon input, further leading to the loss of soil carbon pool and carbon sink. Ignoring the carbon loss caused by land use change leads to incomplete and incorrect estimation of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and overestimation of the potential for mitigating climate change. Correct accounting of land use is crucial to improve the accuracy of life cycle assessment and support the sustainable development of wind power. SUMMARY
[0006] To solve the problem of ignoring the carbon loss caused by land use change, which leads to incomplete and incorrect estimation of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and overestimation of the potential for mitigating climate change, the present application proposes a method for calculating the life cycle greenhouse gas emission intensity of wind farms considering land use change.
