摘要：
Water reservoirs and hydroelectric projects have many functions that produce great benefits that will play an important role in the "double carbon" strategy. However, there are few studies on the life cycle carbon emissions of hydropower and reservoir projects. This study uses the Quanmutang project in Hunan Province as an example to apply life cycle assessment theory and the carbon emissions grouping calculational method which is more suitable for reservoirs and hydroelectric projects. The carbon emission calculations show that the overall carbon emissions during the construction and operating phases of the Quanmutang project are controllable. This study then considers the carbon emission characteristics to present some strategies to reduce the carbon emissions, such as design optimization, developing green building materials, accelerating intellectualization and strengthening the emission reductions. © 2022, Tsinghua University Press.
