Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of analysis and prediction of factors affecting carbon emissions from sewage treatment, and in particular to a method and system for analyzing and predicting factors affecting carbon emissions from sewage treatment based on a LMDI-STIRPAT model. Background Art

[0002] The sewage treatment industry is one of the top ten greenhouse gas emission industries in the world, and its total carbon emissions account for about 2% to 3% of the total global carbon emissions. With the rapid development of population and economy, wastewater discharge is also at a high growth level, and greenhouse gas emissions generated by wastewater treatment have become the main component of carbon emissions. Although sewage treatment can greatly reduce pollutants in the influent, obtain good effluent water quality and thus contribute to improving the water ecological environment. However, greenhouse gases and solid wastes such as sludge emitted during the treatment process, as well as energy and resources invested, will have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to the green development of the industry to study the influencing factors of carbon emissions in sewage treatment and quantify their contribution, and to analyze and predict future carbon emission trends based on influencing factors.

[0003] Current methods for calculating carbon emissions from wastewater treatment mainly rely on static models and short-term data, lacking consideration of dynamic changes. First, the wastewater treatment process is affected by many factors, such as technological advances, policy changes, and fluctuations in wastewater volume, which are difficult to accurately reflect in traditional models. Second, the lack of long-term monitoring data for regional specific conditions reduces the reliability of prediction models. Finally, existing methods generally ignore the interactions between ecosystems and socioeconomic factors, which makes it difficult to conduct comprehensive long-term assessments. Therefore, more comprehensive and dynamic models are needed to achieve more accurate long-term predictions. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a method and system for analyzing and predicting factors affecting carbon emissions from sewage treatment.

[0010] Step S5: Predict the carbon emissions under different development scenarios of the region.

[0041] (3) Electricity consumption refers to the amount of electricity purchased during the production and operation of the sewage treatment plant, excluding electricity used in the office and living areas. The formula for calculating electricity consumption of the sewage treatment plant is as follows:

[0042] m e =Q×fe×W

[0043] m e is the indirect CO2 emission from electricity consumption in sewage treatment, kgCO2 / m 3 ; Q is the daily water treatment volume of the sewage treatment plant, m 3 ; fe is the carbon emission factor of electricity consumption, kgCO2 / kwh; W is the amount of electricity purchased for production operation, kwh.

[0047] Step S3, based on the regional carbon emission total and regional activity level data, a LMDI factor decomposition model is constructed to determine the key factors affecting carbon emissions from sewage treatment, and obtain Figure 3 Analysis of influencing factors and prediction methods of carbon emissions from sewage treatment based on the LMDI-STIRPAT model. The specific steps are:

[0048] Step S301: Get the Kaya identity, the specific expression is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] Where C is the greenhouse gas emission equivalent, t; Energy is the total regional energy consumption, 10,000 tons of standard coal; GDP is the per capita gross domestic product, yuan; POP is the total population.

[0051] Step S302: Expand the variables in step S301 to obtain the expanded Kaya identity, the specific expression of which is as follows:

[0054] Step S303: constructing the LMDI addition decomposition model, the specific expression is as follows:

[0055] ΔC t =C t -C0=ΔTL t +ΔEI t +ΔRU t +ΔEL t +ΔPOP t

[0056]

[0057] Where C0 is the base period carbon emission; C t is the carbon emission in the target year t; TL is the technology level; EI is the product intensity; RU is the energy intensity; EL is the economic level; POP is the population size.

[0065] Furthermore, in order to eliminate the influence of heteroscedasticity on the results, the original data is logarithmically processed. The specific expression is as follows:

[0066] lnC=lna+α1lnP+α2lnA+α3lnD+α4lnI+α5lnU+lne

[0067] Furthermore, the ridge regression analysis method was used to obtain the elastic coefficients and random errors of the STIRPAT model.

[0068] Step S5, use scenario analysis methods to predict carbon emissions under different regional development scenarios, and propose a reasonable carbon neutrality path based on the prediction results.

[0069] Specifically, the scenario analysis method predicts and analyzes carbon emissions under different development scenarios of the region based on the development data of various indicators combined with the LMDI-STIRPAT model;

[0070] The various indicators mentioned are based on historical trends and are set and adjusted in combination with a country's policies; the different development scenarios mentioned include the baseline scenario, the technological innovation scenario, the high-speed development scenario, the environment priority scenario, and the low-speed development scenario.
