A Product Carbon Footprint quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the different stages of a product life cycle. We structure the assessment around clearly defined system boundaries, data collection and validation, development of the emissions inventory, process modelling and interpretation of results. The value of a PCF goes beyond a single kg CO₂e figure. It shows where emissions occur and which raw materials, processes, energy sources, transport activities or other life-cycle stages have the greatest influence on the result. This evidence can then support scenario assessment, reduction targets, supplier engagement, product decisions and responses to customer and supply-chain carbon requirements.
What this includes
- Scope and system-boundary definition
- Emissions inventory and data validation
- Product Carbon Footprint calculation
- Identification of major contributors
- Scenario and reduction-opportunity assessment
- Technical report
