4. Calculate Emissions

Emissions are calculated based on the activity data and the emission factors (EFs) mentioned above. All values are expressed in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2e).

Scope 1 Emissions (Direct Emissions)

For this product-level analysis within the "factory_gate" system boundary, direct Scope 1 emissions (e.g., from on-site fuel combustion for manufacturing, or direct process emissions from the product itself) are assumed to be negligible for the functional unit. Any such emissions would typically be allocated at a facility level and would be very low per individual unit.

Total Scope 1 Emissions: 0.00 kg CO2e

Scope 2 Emissions (Purchased Energy)

These emissions result from the electricity purchased for the product\'s manufacturing in China.

Total Energy Consumption: 15 kWh/unit

Renewable Energy Usage: 50%

Non-renewable Energy Consumption: 15 kWh/unit * (1 - 0.50) = 7.5 kWh/unit

China Electricity Grid Emission Factor: 0.58 kg CO2e/kWh

Calculation: 7.5 kWh/unit * 0.58 kg CO2e/kWh = 4.35 kg CO2e

Total Scope 2 Emissions: 4.35 kg CO2e

Scope 3 Emissions (Value Chain Emissions)

Scope 3 emissions cover all other indirect emissions throughout the value chain. This report aims for at least 95% coverage as per 2026 requirements.

Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services (Materials)

Based on the Detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) above, the total carbon footprint from raw material extraction and processing is:

Total Scope 3 - Materials Emissions: 12.09 kg CO2e

Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution

This includes the transport of finished products from the factory gate in China to a major distribution hub in Europe, and subsequently, last-mile delivery.

Product Weight: 2 kg = 0.002 tonnes

Primary Transport Distance: 2,000 km (Road Freight)

Road Freight Emission Factor: 0.092 kg CO2e/tonne-km

Last-Mile Delivery Emission Factor: 0.10 kg CO2e/package

Calculations:

Primary Transport: 0.002 tonnes * 2,000 km * 0.092 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.368 kg CO2e

Last-Mile Delivery: 1 unit * 0.10 kg CO2e/package = 0.10 kg CO2e

Total Scope 3 - Upstream Transport Emissions: 0.368 kg CO2e + 0.10 kg CO2e = 0.468 kg CO2e

Category 11: Use of Sold Products

Emissions from the energy consumed by the product during its lifespan, assuming use in Europe.

Product Lifespan: 3 years

Energy Consumption in Use: 20 kWh/year

Total Energy in Use: 3 years * 20 kWh/year = 60 kWh

EU Electricity Grid Emission Factor: 0.20 kg CO2e/kWh

Calculation: 60 kWh * 0.20 kg CO2e/kWh = 12.00 kg CO2e

Total Scope 3 - Use Phase Emissions: 12.00 kg CO2e

Category 12: End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products

This accounts for the emissions (or avoided emissions) associated with the disposal and recycling of the product at the end of its life.

Product Weight: 2 kg

Recyclability Percentage: 70%

Recycled Portion: 2 kg * 0.70 = 1.4 kg

Landfilled Portion: 2 kg * (1 - 0.70) = 0.6 kg

Recycling Credit (Avoided Emissions): -1.0 kg CO2e/kg

Landfill Emission Factor: 1.25 kg CO2e/kg

Calculations:

Emissions from Recycled Portion: 1.4 kg * (-1.0 kg CO2e/kg) = -1.40 kg CO2e (credit)

Emissions from Landfilled Portion: 0.6 kg * 1.25 kg CO2e/kg = 0.75 kg CO2e

Total Scope 3 - End-of-Life Emissions: -1.40 kg CO2e + 0.75 kg CO2e = -0.65 kg CO2e

The negative value indicates a net carbon benefit due to the high recyclability and the assumption of avoided virgin material production.

Summary of Emissions by Scope

Scope	Category	Emissions (kg CO2e)
Scope 1	Direct Emissions	0.00
Scope 2	Purchased Electricity (Production)	4.35
Scope 3	Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services (Materials)	12.09
Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution	0.468
Category 11: Use of Sold Products	12.00
Category 12: End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products	-0.65

While specific land-use data for raw material extraction was not provided, this analysis acknowledges the importance of traceability and comprehensive accounting as mandated by the LSR Standard. Future iterations should aim for more granular data on land use change and land management associated with upstream material supply, if applicable.

5. Review & Report

Key Findings and Hotspots

The total Product Carbon Footprint for one unit of \'yszwgyqmod\' is estimated at 28.258 kg CO2e. The primary emission hotspots across the product\'s lifecycle are:

Materials (Scope 3, Category 1): At 12.09 kg CO2e, the raw materials used in the product\'s Bill of Materials (BOM) represent a significant portion of the total footprint. This highlights the high embodied energy and emissions in materials like aluminum, copper, and specialized electronic components.

Use Phase (Scope 3, Category 11): The energy consumed during the product\'s 3-year lifespan contributes 12.00 kg CO2e. This impact is directly tied to the energy intensity of the device and the electricity grid mix in the region of use (Europe).

Production Energy (Scope 2): Manufacturing energy in China accounts for 4.35 kg CO2e, influenced by the electricity grid\'s carbon intensity and the company\'s 50% renewable energy usage.

End-of-Life (Scope 3, Category 12): Due to the assumed 70% recyclability and the associated avoided emissions (recycling credit), the end-of-life phase presents a net carbon benefit of -0.65 kg CO2e, demonstrating the positive impact of circular economy initiatives.

Transportation (Scope 3, Category 4): While essential, upstream and last-mile transportation contribute a comparatively smaller portion (0.468 kg CO2e) to the overall footprint.

Data Reliability and Limitations

This report is based on a combination of provided specific parameters and industry-average emission factors from reputable sources (e.g., Ecoinvent/DEFRA principles, GLEC Framework, EPA, IEA, EEA).

Placeholder Data: Numeric values for transport distance, energy intensity, product lifespan, and energy consumption in use were derived from the provided placeholder strings and interpreted with reasonable, conservative assumptions. The BOM was a representative example due to the placeholder string provided.

Emission Factors: While efforts were made to use relevant and recent emission factors, region-specific and product-specific primary data for every component and process would enhance accuracy.

LSR Standard: As the 2026 LSR Standard\'s guidance is still being developed (expected Q2 2026) and its effective date is January 1, 2027, its application here is based on its core principles of accounting for land-based emissions and removals. More granular data on land use in material supply chains would be required for full compliance once the standard is fully implemented.

Scope 3 Coverage: The analysis covered major Scope 3 categories relevant to the product lifecycle, aiming for the 95% coverage target. However, other minor upstream or downstream categories might exist.

Recommendations for Emission Reduction

Material Optimization: Investigate opportunities for lighter-weight materials, increased recycled content, or materials with lower embodied carbon. Engage with suppliers to obtain primary data on their material-specific emission factors.

Renewable Energy Integration: Continue to increase the share of renewable energy in manufacturing operations beyond the current 50% to further reduce Scope 2 emissions.

Use Phase Efficiency: Explore design improvements to reduce the product\'s energy consumption during its use phase. This could include more efficient components or power management features.

Circular Economy Enhancement: Strengthen existing circular and take-back programs to maximize product lifespan and material recovery. Explore innovative business models that support product-as-a-service or enhanced repairability.

Supply Chain Engagement: Work with logistics partners to optimize transport routes, modes (e.g., shifting to rail or sea where feasible), and vehicle load factors, particularly for European distribution.

Data Granularity: For future PCF analyses, prioritize collecting primary data for high-impact materials, specific transport routes, and actual energy mixes in relevant regions to improve accuracy and support targeted interventions, especially concerning LSR Standard requirements.
