Emission Inventory of Building Material Industry in Henan Province Based on Multi-source Data Integration

The building materials industry is a typical resource and energy-consuming industry, as well as one of the major sources of air pollution. As the world's largest producer and consumer of building material products, China thus far has insufficient research on the emissions of the building materials industry, and the data sources are short of multiplicity. In this study, the building materials industry in Henan Province was chosen,and the control measures inventory for pollution emergency response (CMIPER) was applied to the development of the emission inventory for the first time. Through the integration of multi-source data such as CMIPER, a pollution discharge permit, and environmental statistics, the activity data of the building materials industry was refined, and a more accurate emission inventory of the building materials industry in Henan Province was established. The results showed that the SO2 , NOx , primary PM2. 5, and PM10 emissions of the building materials industry in Henan Province in 2020 were 21 788, 51 427, 10 107, and 14 471 t, respectively. Cement and bricks and tiles were the two categories with the highest contribution of emissions from the building materials industry in Henan Province, accounting for more than 50% in total. TheNOx emission of the cement industry was a key issue, and the overall emission control level of the brick and tile industry was relatively unadvanced. The central and northern parts of Henan Province contributed the most emissions in the building materials industry, accounting for more than 60%. It is recommended to further implement ultra-low emission retrofit in the cement industry, and for other industries such as the bricks and tiles, the improvement of local emission standards is encouraged to persistently promote the emission control of the building materials industry. © 2023 Science Press.
