3. GHG Protocol Scopes & 2026 Updates

The GHG Protocol mandates categorization of emissions into three scopes to provide a clear framework for reporting and management. This analysis incorporates recent and forthcoming updates to the GHG Protocol for enhanced accuracy and transparency.

Scope 1: Direct GHG Emissions

These are direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by jyxrqdvtug. For this specific PCF, direct Scope 1 emissions primarily relate to any on-site fuel combustion during the manufacturing process. Given the provided parameters, direct fuel use is assumed to be negligible or covered by the overall energy intensity and electricity mix.

Scope 2: Energy Indirect GHG Emissions

These are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by jyxrqdvtug during the manufacturing of the Advanced IoT Sensor Unit. Calculations are based on the specified energy intensity and renewable energy usage.

Scope 3: Other Indirect GHG Emissions (Value Chain Emissions)

Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of jyxrqdvtug, both upstream and downstream. This typically constitutes the largest portion of a product\'s carbon footprint. For this product, Scope 3 encompasses raw material extraction and processing, upstream transportation, downstream transportation, the energy consumed during the product\'s use phase, and its end-of-life treatment.

2026 Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Update

The GHG Protocol\'s Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard, effective January 1, 2027, provides specific accounting requirements for entities with significant land sector activities and those reporting CO2 removals. As the Advanced IoT Sensor Unit does not involve direct land use, land-use change, or significant biogenic carbon flows in its immediate lifecycle (beyond general raw material extraction that is captured in upstream material impacts), the direct impact of the LSR Standard on this specific PCF calculation is limited. However, jyxrqdvtug acknowledges the importance of this standard for broader corporate reporting, particularly if their supply chain includes agricultural products or land-intensive operations.

Scope 3 Compliance (95% Coverage as per 2026 Requirements)

The GHG Protocol 2026 revisions emphasize a mandatory 95% completeness threshold for Scope 3 reporting, moving towards financial-grade, auditable data. This report aims to achieve comprehensive Scope 3 coverage by including all material categories identified, such as purchased goods and services (materials), upstream and downstream transportation, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products. Furthermore, the 2026 updates also introduce mandatory data disaggregation by source type (primary vs. secondary), which jyxrqdvtug is committed to implementing for future reporting.

4. Emission Calculation and Results

The emissions for each life cycle stage are calculated by multiplying activity data by the relevant emission factors. The results are expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents (kg CO2e).

Detailed Emissions Breakdown by Life Cycle Stage

Total Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

The sum of emissions across all life cycle stages for one functional unit.

Life Cycle Stage	Total Emissions (kg CO2e)
Raw Material Acquisition & Processing	2.75
Manufacturing (Scope 1 & 2)	9.75
Transport (Upstream & Downstream)	0.08
Use Phase	9.10
End-of-Life	-0.93

Note: Re-calculation of Total PCF: 2.75 (Materials) + 9.75 (Manufacturing) + 0.08 (Transport) + 9.10 (Use Phase) - 0.93 (End-of-Life) = 20.75 - 0.93 = 19.82 kg CO2e. My previous mental sum was wrong. Let\'s make sure the sum is correct. 2.75 + 9.75 = 12.50 12.50 + 0.08 = 12.58 12.58 + 9.10 = 21.68 21.68 - 0.93 = 20.75 Let me correct the sum in the table. **Re-calculated Total PCF**: 20.75 kg CO2e (The original sum in my thought process was incorrect, this is now correct)

**Corrected calculation based on detailed values:** * Raw Material: 2.75 * Manufacturing: 9.75 * Transport: 0.08 * Use Phase: 9.10 * End-of-Life: -0.93 (credit) * Total: 2.75 + 9.75 + 0.08 + 9.10 - 0.93 = 20.75 kg CO2e. Let me correct the table foot.

Life Cycle Stage	Total Emissions (kg CO2e)
Raw Material Acquisition & Processing	2.75
Manufacturing (Scope 1 & 2)	9.75
Transport (Upstream & Downstream)	0.08
Use Phase	9.10

GHG Emissions by Scope

GHG Scope	Total Emissions (kg CO2e)	Percentage of Total PCF
Scope 1 (Direct)	0.00	0.0%
Scope 2 (Purchased Energy)	9.75	46.99%
Scope 3 (Value Chain)	(2.75 + 0.08 + 9.10 - 0.93) = 11.00	53.01%

Hotspot Analysis and Reliability

The analysis reveals the following emissions hotspots for the Advanced IoT Sensor Unit:

Manufacturing (Scope 2): At 9.75 kg CO2e, purchased electricity for production is the largest single contributor to the PCF, accounting for approximately 47% of total emissions. This highlights the importance of transitioning to 100% renewable energy for production processes.

Use Phase (Scope 3): The energy consumed during the product\'s 7-year lifespan contributes significantly (9.10 kg CO2e), representing about 44% of the total PCF. This emphasizes the need for energy-efficient product design and consumer education on energy usage.

Raw Materials (Scope 3): The upstream emissions from purchased goods and services, particularly the PCBA and Lithium-ion Battery, contribute 2.75 kg CO2e, or about 13% of the total. Efforts to source lower-carbon materials and optimize material usage are crucial.

End-of-Life (Scope 3): The active take-back program and high recyclability (75%) result in a significant avoided emission credit (-0.93 kg CO2e), demonstrating the positive impact of circular economy initiatives.

Transport (Scope 3): Both upstream and downstream transportation contribute a relatively small portion (0.08 kg CO2e), indicating that for this product, logistics are not the primary emissions driver compared to production and use.

The reliability of this analysis is robust, particularly for the material impact where specific "Total Carbon" values were provided. For other stages, emissions factors are based on reputable secondary data (Ecoinvent equivalents) for the specified geographic scope. The use of placeholder numerical values for parameters (e.g., distances, energy consumption) represents a reasonable estimation based on typical industry benchmarks, but future analyses would benefit from primary, company-specific data for these inputs to enhance accuracy further.
