Emission Factor for non-renewable electricity (China Grid Mix): ~0.6 kg CO2e/kWh (representative value for 2023 national average)

Total Production Energy Emissions (Scope 2): 0.2 kWh/unit * 0.6 kg CO2e/kWh = 0.12 kg CO2e/unit

3.3. Logistics Data (Scope 3 - Upstream & Downstream)

Transportation emissions are calculated based on the following specific logistics data:

Upstream Transport (Materials to Factory):

Assumed average transport of raw materials (0.46 kg total weight) from Europe to China: 1000 km Road + 12,000 km Ocean + 200 km Road.

Road Freight EF (HGV): 0.1 kg CO2e/tonne-km; Ocean Freight EF (Container Ship): 0.016 kg CO2e/tonne-km (representative values).

Estimated Upstream Transport Emissions: (0.46kg * (1000km+200km) * (0.1 kgCO2e/tonne-km / 1000)) + (0.46kg * 12000km * (0.016 kgCO2e/tonne-km / 1000)) = 0.00552 + 0.08832 = 0.09384 kg CO2e

Downstream Transport (Product from Factory to Consumer):

Main Transport Mode: Select Mode (Ocean Freight (Container Ship) + Road (Heavy Goods Vehicle))

Transport Distance: gpvheidviv (12,000 km Ocean + 500 km Road)

Product Weight: 0.46 kg (approximate total weight)

Ocean Freight Emissions: 0.46 kg * 12,000 km * (0.016 kg CO2e/tonne-km / 1000) = 0.08832 kg CO2e

Road Freight Emissions: 0.46 kg * 500 km * (0.1 kg CO2e/tonne-km / 1000) = 0.0230 kg CO2e

Last-Mile Delivery Channel: Delivery Type (Parcel Delivery (Van))

Assumed Last-Mile Distance: 100 km

Van Delivery EF: 0.244 kg CO2e/tonne-km (representative value)

Last-Mile Emissions: 0.46 kg * 100 km * (0.244 kg CO2e/tonne-km / 1000) = 0.011224 kg CO2e

Total Transportation Emissions (Scope 3): 0.09384 (upstream) + 0.08832 (ocean) + 0.0230 (road) + 0.011224 (last mile) = 0.216384 kg CO2e (rounded to 0.22 kg CO2e)

3.4. Use Phase Data (Scope 3 - Downstream)

The energy consumption during the product\'s operational life significantly impacts its footprint:

Product Lifespan: srkuidegfk (5 years)
