1 Scope

GB/T 32151.25-2024 covers the food, tobacco, alcohol, beverage and refined tea industries in the Chinese greenhouse gas accounting and reporting series. It is a broad sector with a common emissions shape: steam for cooking, sterilising, drying and evaporation dominates, refrigeration adds a large electricity load and a refrigerant leakage term, and fermentation processes release carbon dioxide of biogenic origin that has to be reported separately rather than counted with the fossil emissions, which is one of the points where an unstandardised inventory most often goes wrong. The standard sets the accounting boundary for an enterprise in these sectors, the measurement and monitoring requirements, the calculation steps and methods for the fuel combustion, process and purchased energy emissions, the data quality management and the report content and format, with informative annexes giving the reporting template and default parameter values. For a food or drinks manufacturer in China, or a brand asking its Chinese suppliers for verified figures, this is the governing method. It takes effect on 1 April 2025.

This document specifies the accounting boundaries, Accounting steps and methods, data quality management, report content and format. This document applies to the accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from food, tobacco, alcohol, beverages and refined tea industries.
