data fraud problems appeared in carbon emission statistic process relying on manual reports in fossil-fired power plants
exposing the deficiencies in data quality control during the carbon emission statistic in China. Therefore
it is an inevitable trend to gradually improve the quality of carbon emission statistic and quality control mothod. Based on the coal power and gas power enterprises
the main differences between carbon emission statistical methods and data quality requirements are analyzed by comparing the domestic and foreign current standards. The classification and implementation methods of carbon emission statistic in Europe and the United States are summarized
and the carbon emission statistic and quality control requirements in China's latest standards are also introduced. It is found that the continuous monitoring method has been applied in Europe and the United States
while only the emission factor method is applied in China. Quality control of data is based on multiple indicators with various contents in China
but relies on a single indicator in Europe and the United States respectively. Finally
it is pointed out that it is an inevitable trend to establish comprehensive
scientific and united data quality indicator and limits in China to keep in line with the trend of the international carbon trading market.
