1 Scope

GB/T 32151.30-2024 is the water transport part of the Chinese greenhouse gas accounting and reporting series, covering shipping and inland waterway operators. Its accounting problem is characteristic of transport: essentially all the emission is fuel burnt in engines that are mobile, often outside Chinese territory, and frequently on vessels that are chartered rather than owned, so the boundary question, which vessel's fuel belongs to whose inventory, matters more than the emission factors. The standard sets that boundary for a water transport enterprise, then the measurement and monitoring requirements, which in practice means the bunker delivery notes and the fuel consumption records, the calculation steps and methods for the main and auxiliary engines, the boilers and the shore-based facilities, the treatment of purchased electricity including shore power, the data quality management and the report content and format, with informative annexes giving the reporting template and the default parameter values. As Chinese shipping comes under both domestic reporting and international measures, this is the method behind the Chinese figures. It takes effect on 1 April 2025.

This document specifies the accounting boundaries, accounting steps, accounting methods, data and other related information for the accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions by water transport enterprises. Quality management, report content and format. This document applies to the accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions by water transport enterprises.
