4. Emission Calculation (GHG Protocol Scopes)

Emissions are calculated using the activity data collected and appropriate industry-standard emission factors. All emissions are expressed in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kgCO2e).

4.1. Scope 1: Direct Emissions

For the Eco-Smart Gadget X within a \'factory_gate\' system boundary, Scope 1 emissions primarily relate to direct GHG emissions from sources owned or controlled by GreenTech Solutions Inc. (umpefyqukw) at the production facility. Given the provided parameters, specific on-site fuel combustion data is not available. Therefore, direct manufacturing process emissions, if not covered by material-specific EFs in the BOM, are considered negligible or already embedded in the Scope 3, Category 1 material footprints. If significant on-site combustion were present, it would be quantified here.

Estimated Scope 1 Emissions: 0.00 kgCO2e/unit (assumed negligible/embedded due to data limitations within \'factory_gate\' boundary).

4.2. Scope 2: Energy Indirect Emissions (Purchased Electricity)

Scope 2 emissions account for GHG emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling consumed by GreenTech Solutions Inc. (umpefyqukw).

Total Energy Intensity for Production: 5 kWh/unit [cite: pdmetqfehl]

Renewable Energy Usage: 60% [cite: llndofrody]

Non-Renewable Electricity Usage: 5 kWh/unit * (1 - 0.60) = 2 kWh/unit

Emission Factor for China\'s Electricity Grid (2023): 0.581 kgCO2e/kWh

Calculation: 2 kWh/unit * 0.581 kgCO2e/kWh = 1.162 kgCO2e/unit

Estimated Scope 2 Emissions: 1.162 kgCO2e/unit

4.3. Scope 3: Other Indirect Emissions (Value Chain)

Scope 3 emissions cover all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of GreenTech Solutions Inc. (umpefyqukw), both upstream and downstream. This analysis aims for robust coverage exceeding 95% of typical Scope 3 categories for product PCFs.

Emissions from the energy consumption during the product\'s lifespan.

Product Lifespan: 3 years [cite: wttwrkjhti]

Energy Consumption in Use: 10 kWh/year [cite: wqzpvppnwd]

Total Energy Consumption over Lifespan: 10 kWh/year * 3 years = 30 kWh/unit

Emission Factor for Electricity (assuming use in China or comparable grid): 0.581 kgCO2e/kWh

Calculation: 30 kWh/unit * 0.581 kgCO2e/kWh = 17.43 kgCO2e/unit

Estimated Scope 3, Category 11 Emissions: 17.43 kgCO2e/unit

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

Emissions and avoided emissions associated with the disposal and recycling of the product at the end of its life, considering circular economy impacts.

Recyclability Percentage: 80% [cite: dzfuxmqoom]

Circular/Take-back Programs: Yes, comprehensive program [cite: vksxgmilwm]

Total Material Emissions (Virgin, from BOM): 6.959 kgCO2e/unit

For the 80% recycled portion, we calculate avoided emissions based on the reduction from virgin material production:

Aluminium Casing (0.2 kg):

Virgin material emissions (from BOM): 2.954 kgCO2e

Avoided emissions from recycling: 92% of virgin emissions

Calculation: 0.80 (recycled portion) * 2.954 kgCO2e * 0.92 = 2.170 kgCO2e (avoided)

ABS Plastic Housing (0.15 kg):

Virgin material emissions (from BOM): 0.375 kgCO2e

Avoided emissions from recycling: 50% of virgin emissions

Calculation: 0.80 (recycled portion) * 0.375 kgCO2e * 0.50 = 0.150 kgCO2e (avoided)

Total Avoided Emissions from Recycling: 2.170 kgCO2e + 0.150 kgCO2e = 2.320 kgCO2e

For the remaining 20% of materials assumed to be landfilled, a general emission factor for waste disposal is applied. Assuming an average landfill emission factor for mixed materials (e.g., similar to plastic landfill):

Landfilled Material Weight: 0.60 kg * (1 - 0.80) = 0.12 kg = 0.00012 tonnes

Average Landfill Emission Factor (e.g., plastic): 33 kg CO2e/tonne (0.033 kgCO2e/kg)

Calculation: 0.00012 tonnes * 33 kgCO2e/tonne = 0.00396 kgCO2e (landfill emissions)

Net Estimated Scope 3, Category 12 Emissions: 0.00396 kgCO2e (landfill) - 2.320 kgCO2e (avoided) = -2.316 kgCO2e/unit (a net credit)

4.5. 2026 LSR Update Application

The Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard, effective January 1, 2027, provides specific accounting requirements and guidance for land-related emissions, CO2 removals, and biogenic products. While the Eco-Smart Gadget X\'s primary material impacts are industrial, the LSR Standard is relevant for the cardboard packaging (MAT006). This standard will enable GreenTech Solutions Inc. to more accurately account for biogenic carbon in products, land use change emissions, and any carbon removal activities associated with its supply chain. The accompanying guidance document for the LSR Standard is expected in Q2 2026, which will offer more practical direction for implementation. For this report, the biogenic emissions of the cardboard are considered to be neutral over its lifecycle, provided it originates from sustainably managed forests and is recycled, aligning with the spirit of the LSR Standard\'s focus on removals.

5. Review & Report

Enhancing Use Phase Efficiency: Invest in R&D to significantly reduce the Eco-Smart Gadget X\'s energy consumption during its lifespan. This could involve more efficient components or power management features.

Sustainable Material Sourcing: Prioritize sourcing lower-carbon alternatives for high-impact materials like aluminium and batteries. Investigate recycled content options for metals and plastics beyond current levels.

Increased Renewable Energy Integration: Further increase the share of renewable energy used in the production process (Scope 2) in China to minimize emissions from purchased electricity.

Optimize Logistics: Explore further optimization of upstream and downstream transportation, such as selecting lower-emission transport modes where feasible, optimizing routes, and increasing load factors.

Strengthen Circularity: Continue to develop and promote take-back and recycling programs, and explore opportunities for material circularity (e.g., closed-loop recycling for more components) to maximize avoided emissions.

LSR Implementation: Prepare for the full implementation of the GHG Protocol LSR Standard by developing systems to track and report land-related emissions and removals, especially for biogenic materials in packaging.
