Abstract

The escalating scale of power transmission and transformation infrastructure construction each year has led to a substantial increase in the consumption of materials and energy. This article proposes methods for calculating carbon emissions during the different construction stages of power transmission and transformation infrastructures, including the production and transportation of raw materials and the engineering construction period. The calculation methods are subsequently validated through their application in the construction of a 500 kV transmission line infrastructure in a province in China. According to our findings, the top three contributors to carbon emissions are the production of metals for conductors and towers and the construction of foundations. During construction, the emissions from basic engineering projects are the highest, whereas the emissions from grounding and debugging projects are the lowest. An accurate carbon accounting of power transmission and transformation infrastructures helps grasp the key compositions of carbon emissions in the construction process of power transmission and transformation infrastructures, thereby baking the formulation of effective emission reduction measures and helping power grid infrastructures achieve the goals of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”.
