Detailed Implementation

[0022] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0023] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a carbon emission accounting method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for open-pit coal mines according to embodiments of this disclosure.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a carbon emission accounting method for an open-pit coal mine, as provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 101: Identify at least two core production stages in the open-pit coal mine; The core production links refer to the continuous or intermittent operation units that consume relatively concentrated energy and directly or indirectly generate greenhouse gas emissions in the entire process of open-pit coal mining from mining to disposal. These links together constitute the main framework of mining production activities.

[0026] The purpose of identifying these stages is to establish a clear, structured framework for subsequent energy consumption data collection and carbon emission calculations, ensuring that the accounting work comprehensively covers the mine's main emission sources and avoids inaccurate results or blind spots due to omissions. In practice, this is typically based on an in-depth analysis of the actual production process of an open-pit coal mine, combined with mine design documents, production logs, and process drawings, to break down continuous mining operations into several relatively independent and functionally defined production stages. Each stage should have clear operational boundaries, input and output materials, and corresponding energy consumption characteristics, potentially involving typical operations such as rock crushing, material extraction, horizontal or vertical transportation, and waste disposal.

[0027] The number of core production stages identified is at least two. This ensures that the accounting model can capture the most basic direct and indirect emission sources, laying the foundation for building a multi-level accounting system. This identification process emphasizes the representativeness and completeness of the stages, meaning that the selected stages should collectively reflect the overall picture of mine production activities, especially those key processes with high energy consumption and long operating times.

[0028] Accounting personnel can clearly define the focus of subsequent data collection, categorizing complex production records under corresponding stages, thus achieving orderly data organization and management. Furthermore, identifying core production stages provides a foundation for standardized accounting, ensuring comparability of carbon emission results from different mines or different periods within the same mine, as the accounting boundaries are uniformly defined at the stage level. In practice, this identification process often requires the joint participation of mine production technicians and carbon emission accounting experts, combining on-site investigations with data analysis to ensure that the identified stages both align with actual production and meet accounting requirements. The output of this step is a clear list of core production stages and its brief description, which serves as the fundamental basis for all subsequent calculations and analyses within the entire accounting methodology.

[0029] Step 102: Calculate the energy consumption of each of the core production processes. The activity data required for the calculations primarily comes from various record-keeping and metering systems used in the daily operation of the mine, such as equipment operating hours, fuel refueling records, electricity consumption readings, and production reports reflecting workload and operational status. For each core production stage, appropriate calculation logic needs to be established or selected based on its technological characteristics and energy consumption patterns. This logic is typically based on the correlation between energy consumption and key driving factors, such as linking energy consumption to measurable parameters like equipment operating time, material handling volume, travel distance, or work done. During the calculations, it is essential to ensure the integrity and rationality of the data, and to identify and handle outliers or missing values ​​in the original records, for example, by using appropriate interpolation methods or verifying estimates based on the equipment's rated parameters.

[0030] For processes that consume multiple energy sources, such as production units that use both diesel and electricity, the different types of energy consumed must be calculated and recorded separately to clearly reflect the energy structure of that process. The energy consumption calculation results for each process should be expressed in clear physical units, such as kilograms of standard coal, liters of diesel, or kilowatt-hours of electricity, to prepare for possible subsequent unified dimensional conversion or direct use in emissions accounting.

[0031] The implementation relies on the completeness of the data acquisition system and the standardization of production management. High-quality basic data is crucial to ensuring the accuracy of energy consumption calculations. This refined, segmented energy consumption calculation not only sums up the total energy consumption of the entire mine, but more importantly, it reveals the specific distribution of energy at different production stages, identifies high-energy-consuming processes, and provides detailed data support for in-depth analysis of carbon emission composition and tapping into energy-saving potential. The calculation process should be repeatable and traceable, ensuring consistency in methodology within the accounting period, thus making energy consumption comparisons across different periods meaningful.

[0032] Step 103: Convert the energy consumption of each core production process into corresponding carbon emissions; The essence of the conversion process is to use the scientific correlation between energy consumption and its direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions over its entire life cycle to uniformly represent the physical consumption of different types and units of energy as carbon emissions measured in mass units through specific conversion parameters. This step is the core link in realizing the transition from physical energy consumption management to carbon emission performance management. Its purpose is to integrate scattered and diverse energy data onto a common environmental impact assessment scale, thereby enabling an objective and comprehensive assessment of the contribution of each production link and even the overall production activities to climate change.

[0033] When implementing the conversion, it is necessary to select or calculate the corresponding carbon emission conversion factor for each type of energy consumed in the process. These factors reflect the carbon dioxide equivalent released when a unit quantity of that energy is consumed under typical conditions. The calculation logic involves matching and mathematically performing the consumption data of each energy type within each process with its specific conversion factor to obtain the carbon emission contribution of each energy type. These components are then summed within the process to obtain the total carbon emissions of the core production process expressed in a uniform unit of mass. This process requires that the conversion factors be scientifically sound and authoritative to ensure the reliability, accuracy, and comparability of the conversion results across different accounting objects or periods.

[0034] By systematically completing this conversion process for all core production stages, we can not only obtain independent carbon emission figures for each stage, clearly revealing the specific share and relative importance of each production stage in the overall emissions, but also ensure that this data serves as the foundation for subsequent overall mine carbon emission aggregation, structural analysis, hotspot identification, and the evaluation and planning of emission reduction measures. The standardized application of this conversion method helps establish a transparent and consistent carbon emission accounting system, enabling enterprises to formulate and implement more targeted carbon reduction strategies and sustainable development decisions based on accurate quantified carbon emission information.

[0035] Step 104: Combine the carbon emissions mentioned above to generate and output the carbon emission accounting results.

[0036] By comprehensively processing and organizing scattered, multi-stage quantitative carbon emission data, a complete, clearly presented, and easily understood and applied overall experience report or data product is generated, thus completing the entire accounting process and realizing its decision support value. Generating the accounting results first requires collecting and summing the carbon emission data from each stage to calculate the total carbon emissions generated by open-pit coal mine production activities during the accounting period. This total data is the core indicator for measuring the macro-scale of a company's carbon emissions.

[0037] Building upon this, further analysis typically involves calculating the proportion or contribution of carbon emissions from each core production stage to the total emissions, thereby identifying key emission points, or carbon hotspots. The generation process should also include necessary internal data validation and logical consistency checks, such as ensuring that the sum of data from each stage matches the total, and verifying the accuracy of data time boundaries and calculation ranges.

[0038] The output of the accounting results should be diverse to meet the needs of different application scenarios, such as generating structured electronic spreadsheets, comprehensive text reports with data summaries and trend charts, or visual dashboards integrated into the enterprise's energy management information system. The output should at least clearly include accounting period information, the names of each core production process and their corresponding detailed carbon emission figures, total carbon emissions, and the main analytical conclusions drawn from this.

[0039] By transforming raw carbon emission data into meaningful accounting results, corporate management, production departments, and even external stakeholders can intuitively understand the composition and distribution of carbon emissions. This provides direct and reliable data for assessing carbon performance, setting emission reduction targets, optimizing production scheduling, and preparing external carbon emission disclosure reports. The generated accounting results should be traceable, ensuring they can be linked to underlying energy consumption data and calculation parameters. This supports subsequent audits, verifications, and periodic comparative analyses, ultimately promoting closed-loop operation and continuous improvement of carbon emission management.

[0040] In some embodiments, identifying at least two core production stages in an open-pit coal mine includes: The complete production process of the open-pit coal mine is divided into the drilling and blasting stage, the mining and stripping stage, the transportation stage, and the soil dumping stage.

[0041] In one specific implementation, the core production stages can be further defined as drilling and blasting, stripping and mining, transportation, and waste disposal. This classification comprehensively covers the typical continuous open-pit mining process chain, from pretreatment of the mine rock mass to final waste disposal. The drilling and blasting stage mainly refers to the production process of loosening and fracturing the rock mass through drilling and blasting operations, creating conditions for subsequent mining. The stripping and mining stage encompasses the process of using excavating equipment to excavate and load the fractured rock, soil, and coal materials from their original location. The transportation stage involves transporting the excavated materials from the mining site to a designated location, such as a coal processing plant or waste disposal site, via roads or belt conveyor systems. The waste disposal stage specifically refers to the process of transporting the non-mineral waste generated from stripping to a waste disposal site and then stockpiling, leveling, and compacting it.

[0042] Establishing these four key production stages systematically and comprehensively encompasses the most significant energy consumption and carbon emission sources in open-pit coal mine production activities. Each stage possesses relatively independent production functions, dedicated equipment clusters, and clearly measurable material and energy flows, thus laying a solid structural foundation for subsequent refined management and accurate accounting at each stage. This approach has proven highly representative, operable, and industry-wide applicable in practice, enabling carbon emission accounting models to closely align with actual production organization logic. This facilitates enterprises in collecting activity level data for corresponding stages and conducting targeted analysis and improvements.

[0043] In some embodiments, calculating the energy consumption of each of the core production stages includes: An energy consumption calculation model is constructed for each of the core production processes. Collect actual production activity data corresponding to each of the core production links; Based on the energy consumption calculation model and the actual production activity data, the energy consumption of each of the core production links is calculated.

[0044] For each identified core production stage, a dedicated energy consumption calculation model is constructed. This model is a mathematical or logical framework used to describe the quantitative relationship between the energy consumption of that stage and one or more key driving factors. The model is built upon a deep understanding of the production processes, equipment types, and energy characteristics within the stage, aiming to extrapolate energy consumption through observable and measurable production activity parameters. For example, the model's inputs might be variables such as equipment operating time, weight of materials processed, and travel distance, while the output is the amount of fuel or electricity consumed in that stage.

[0045] Systematically collecting actual production activity data corresponding to each core production stage is fundamental for accurate calculations. This data originates from real-time monitoring instruments, production operation records, equipment operation logs, and energy metering ledgers used in daily mine operations. It must accurately reflect the actual scale and intensity of operations in each stage during the accounting period. The collected data needs to be processed and verified to ensure it matches the input parameters required by the aforementioned energy consumption calculation model. Finally, by inputting the collected actual production activity data into the corresponding energy consumption calculation model and executing the preset calculation logic, the specific energy consumption of each core production stage is calculated.

[0046] This method transforms abstract models and raw data into concrete energy consumption figures, ensuring the objectivity and repeatability of the calculation results. Through model-based calculations and real-data-driven approaches, it significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of energy consumption calculations at each stage, providing solid data support for subsequent carbon emission conversion.

[0047] In some embodiments, the energy consumption calculation model includes a direct energy consumption model and an indirect energy consumption model; wherein, the direct energy consumption model is used to calculate the direct energy consumption of equipment, and the indirect energy consumption model is used to calculate the implicit energy consumption of materials.

[0048] Direct energy consumption models are primarily used to calculate the amount of energy directly consumed by various production equipment or facilities during their operation within a core production process. This type of energy consumption is directly related to the on-site operational behavior of the equipment, and its energy carriers are typically diesel, gasoline, electricity, etc., consumed on-site. The calculation is mainly based on directly measured or recorded parameters such as equipment operating time, rated power, or fuel and electricity consumption per unit time.

[0049] Indirect energy consumption models are used to calculate the energy consumption inherent in materials related to this stage. This energy consumption is not directly generated on-site, but refers to the energy accumulated in the upstream life cycle stages of these materials, such as production, processing, and transportation, and is ultimately indirectly attributed to this stage through the use of the materials. For example, in the penetration and blasting stage, the energy consumed in the manufacturing process of the explosives is indirectly included in this stage through the amount of explosives consumed. By simultaneously constructing and applying direct and indirect energy consumption models, a comprehensive and in-depth calculation of energy consumption in core production stages can be achieved, covering both the energy directly used on-site and the indirect energy costs brought about by the input materials.

[0050] This classification ensures the integrity of the energy consumption accounting boundary, avoiding underestimation of the results due to ignoring upstream indirect impacts. This ensures that the final calculated stage more accurately reflects its energy footprint within the entire product system or supply chain, providing a more scientific and solid quantitative foundation for subsequent precise carbon emission accounting and responsibility delineation. The combined application of direct and indirect energy consumption models reflects an accounting concept that extends from a single site boundary to a life-cycle perspective, enhancing the systematicity and accuracy of the entire accounting methodology.

[0051] In some embodiments, converting the energy consumption of each of the core production processes into corresponding carbon emissions includes: Convert the consumption of different types of energy into standard energy units; Based on the converted energy consumption and the corresponding carbon emission factor, the carbon emissions of each of the core production processes are calculated.

[0052] The physical consumption of different types of energy, calculated at each stage (e.g., liters of diesel, liters of gasoline, or kilowatt-hours of electricity), is converted into standard energy units using scientifically reasonable conversion factors. This conversion step aims to eliminate the non-additivity caused by differences in units of measurement and energy density among different energy sources, placing all energy consumption on a unified value scale for measurement and aggregation. Commonly used standard energy units include kilograms of standard coal or kilograms of standard oil. After completing the unified unit conversion, the next step is to perform final calculations based on the authoritative carbon emission factors corresponding to each energy source.

[0053] The carbon emission factor characterizes the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions produced by consuming a unit quantity of a certain standard energy source. In the calculation, the converted standard energy consumption for each core production stage is multiplied by its corresponding specific carbon emission factor. The calculation results for all energy types in that stage are then summed to arrive at the carbon emissions for that core production stage. This process ensures the standardization and transparency of the conversion process, allowing the carbon emission contributions from different types of energy to be accurately and consistently quantified and integrated into the total emissions of each stage.

[0054] Using standard units for conversion also facilitates the comparative analysis of carbon emission data across different stages and periods, because all emissions are calculated based on the same energy benchmark and emission coefficient system, which significantly improves the reliability and comparability of the accounting results and lays a solid foundation for subsequent summary analysis and decision support.
