Abstract:The Cleaner Production audit is a comprehensive method that aims to  realize Cleaner Production throughout the life cycle industrial process  of petroleum refining. The audit simultaneously measures the  environmental impacts of the refinery, its upstream and downstream  organizations and related auxiliary activities. At present, most  research associated with the Cleaner Production indicator system of  petroleum refining industry predominantly focuses on the production  stage, while the environmental impacts of other stages, such as raw  material supply, logistics and transportation, downstream sales, and  product use, tend to be ignored. In addition, the imperfection of the  indicator systems, the hysteresis quality of the evaluation standards,  and the high subjectivity are the drawbacks of the Cleaner Production  indicator systems of China’s petroleum refining industry. This work  analyzed the existing international pollutant emission standards and the  Cleaner Production indicator systems of the petroleum refining industry  from the microscopic life cycle thinking, and integrating a set of  Cleaner Pro duction indicator systems suitable for the current  development of the petroleum refining industry of China. New ideas were  proposed to improve the Cleaner Production indicator system by  incorporating the Cleaner Pro duction level of the partners into the  Cleaner Production inspection of the refinery industry. In particular,  the newly established indicator system places more emphasis on carbon  emissions which are ignored in traditional ones. This review provides  reflections on energy saving, pollution reduction, carbon neutral and  sustainable development of the supply chain-wide, the addition of carbon  emission indicators can promote the synergistic effect of Cleaner  Production and carbon neutrality.
