4. Calculating Emissions (Activity * Emission Factor = CO2e)

4.1 Scope 1 Emissions (Direct Emissions)

For a Product Carbon Footprint, Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources) are typically negligible or zero unless the company directly operates manufacturing processes that fall within the \'factory_gate\' boundary and involve direct fuel combustion or process emissions directly attributable to the product. In this analysis, no direct Scope 1 emissions at the factory are attributed to the product based on the provided parameters.

4.2 Scope 2 Emissions (Purchased Energy)

These emissions arise from the generation of purchased electricity for the manufacturing process.

Total Energy Consumption: 15 kWh/unit

Non-Renewable Electricity: 15 kWh/unit * (1 - 0.40 Renewable Energy Usage) = 9 kWh/unit

Emissions: 9 kWh/unit * 0.58 kg CO2e/kWh (China Grid EF) = 5.22 kg CO2e/unit

4.3 Scope 3 Emissions (Value Chain Emissions)

Scope 3 emissions are typically the most significant for a product, covering both upstream and downstream activities.

4.3.1 Upstream Emissions (Categories 1-8)

Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services (Material Acquisition & Pre-processing)

Total Emissions from Sample BOM: 4.75 kg CO2e/unit

Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution

Assumed Mass for Transport: 0.0009 tonnes/unit

Transport Distance: 500 km

Emissions: 0.0009 tonnes/unit * 500 km * 0.15 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.0675 kg CO2e/unit

4.3.2 Downstream Emissions (Categories 9-12)

Category 11: Use of Sold Products

Total Energy Consumption in Use: 10 kWh/year * 5 years (Product Lifespan) = 50 kWh/unit

Emissions: 50 kWh/unit * 0.181 kg CO2e/kWh (European Grid EF) = 9.05 kg CO2e/unit

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

Total Product Mass: 0.9 kg/unit

Mass to be Recycled: 0.9 kg * 0.70 (Recyclability Percentage) = 0.63 kg/unit

Mass to Landfill: 0.9 kg * (1 - 0.70) = 0.27 kg/unit

Emissions from Recycling Burden (Simplified Average):

Aluminum: 0.5 kg (from BOM) * 0.7 (recycled) * 0.044 kgCO2e/kg = 0.0154 kgCO2e

Plastic: 0.2 kg (from BOM) * 0.7 (recycled) * 0.70 kgCO2e/kg = 0.098 kgCO2e

Other Materials: 0.2 kg (from BOM) * 0.7 (recycled) * 0.20 kgCO2e/kg = 0.028 kgCO2e

Subtotal Recycling Burden: 0.1414 kg CO2e/unit

Emissions from Landfill: 0.27 kg/unit * 0.75 kg CO2e/kg = 0.2025 kg CO2e/unit

Total EoL Emissions: 0.1414 + 0.2025 = 0.3439 kg CO2e/unit

4.4 2026 LSR Update (Land Sector and Removals Standard)

The GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard (2026 update) emphasizes accounting for land use and carbon removals. While this is primarily relevant for organizational-level reporting involving land management, for product-level analysis, its direct application is typically seen in bio-based products or those with significant land-use change impacts in their supply chain. Given the nature of iqlwppgguo (an assumed manufactured product), specific land-use change or carbon removal data directly attributable to the functional unit were not provided. However, the importance of this standard is acknowledged, and for products with relevant characteristics, future analyses would incorporate specific data on biogenic carbon, deforestation, and carbon sequestration activities where applicable.

4.5 Scope 3 Compliance (95% Coverage)

This analysis strives for comprehensive Scope 3 reporting, targeting at least 95% coverage as per 2026 requirements. By incorporating detailed material data (from the sample BOM), transportation, manufacturing energy, use phase, and end-of-life scenarios, a significant portion of the value chain emissions is captured. The use of proxy data and industry averages for certain emission factors helps to ensure a broad coverage, even when primary data for every minor component or process is not available.

5.2 Emission Hotspots and Reliability

The primary emission hotspots for iqlwppgguo are identified in:

Manufacturing Energy (Scope 2): Despite 40% renewable energy usage, the remaining grid electricity in China significantly contributes to the footprint, highlighting the carbon intensity of the regional grid mix.

Material Acquisition (Scope 3, Category 1): Specifically, the aluminum casing, due to its relatively high quantity and high emission factor from primary production, is a major contributor.

Use Phase (Scope 3, Category 11): The energy consumption during the product\'s 5-year lifespan is a substantial contributor, emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency in product design.

The reliability of this report\'s findings is dependent on the accuracy and completeness of the provided input parameters and the emission factors utilized. While efforts were made to use recognized industry-standard (e.g., DEFRA, IEA, Ecoinvent proxies) and recent emission factors, actual emissions may vary with specific supplier data, precise energy mixes, and granular material compositions. The placeholder inputs for BOM and other operational data necessitated the use of illustrative examples and reasonable assumptions, which have been clearly stated.

5.3 Recommendations

Based on this analysis, the following recommendations are provided for lduydllqji to reduce the carbon footprint of iqlwppgguo:

Material Optimization: Investigate opportunities to use lower-carbon alternatives for the aluminum casing (e.g., secondary/recycled aluminum, lightweighting) or materials with inherently lower embodied carbon.

Manufacturing Energy Decarbonization: Increase the percentage of renewable energy usage at the production facility in China. Explore direct renewable energy procurement or investments in local renewable projects.

Product Energy Efficiency: Focus design efforts on reducing the product\'s energy consumption during its use phase, as this is a significant hotspot over its lifespan.

Supply Chain Engagement: Work with material suppliers to obtain primary emission data for purchased components and raw materials, improving the accuracy of Scope 3, Category 1 reporting.

Logistics Efficiency: Optimize transport routes, modes, and load factors for both upstream and downstream logistics to minimize transportation emissions.
