Carbon CO²

Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels increased again in 2023, reaching record levels. The annual global carbon budget forecasts fossil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 36.8 billion tones in 2023, up 1.1% from 2022

What’s Carbon footprint?

The carbon footprint or carbon content of a human activity is a measure of greenhouse gas emissions of anthropogenic origin, that is to say a measure of the emissions that can be attributed to this human activity
The carbon footprint is a set of methods for measuring and monitoring the quantity of greenhouse gases that an organization emits due to its activity.

How to calculate the carbon footprint?

The calculation of CO2 emissions is as follows: CO2 emissions = quantity consumed x emission factor. We therefore collect the data which we associate with an emission factor allowing us to calculate its carbon equivalent.

What is the impact of the carbon footprint?

In particular, carbon dioxide or CO2, the concentration of which has increased by 47% since the 18th century. It would be responsible for 65% of this additional greenhouse effect of human origin. These increases in gas emissions mechanically cause global warming.

How to capt CO²?

However, there is CO2 capture technology

oxy-combustion capture consists of carrying out the combustion of carbon fuels in the presence of pure oxygen instead of air, which makes it possible to obtain smoke with a higher CO2 concentration (around 90%). This is then easier to separate from the water vapor with which it is mixed.

Storage CO2 technologies?

They are more and more often presented as one of the solutions to be implemented to deal with climate change. CO2 capture and storage technologies – which consist of recovering this greenhouse gas during its production or in the atmosphere, before storing it underground –
Once captured and transported, the CO2 must be injected and stored underground. Deep saline aquifers have been identified as the only geological structures with sufficient capacities for massive CO2 storage

ISO 14067 ?

Product carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by a product from raw materials, suppliers, product design, manufacturing processes, transportation, use by the consumer, disposal and reuse.
The ISO 14067 standard – Carbon footprint of products is applicable to various products, engineering, construction or various services; enterprises can evaluate the reduction and replacement of product raw materials, procurement process and optimization by establishing a carbon footprint management system and calculating the carbon footprint of products, so as to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions.

ISO 14064 ?

The ISO 14064 standard makes it possible to improve the management of greenhouse gas emissions, at the scale of a company or any other organization.
