3. Calculation of Emissions (Activity * Emission Factor = CO2e)

Emissions are categorized according to the GHG Protocol into Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (purchased electricity, heat, or steam), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions in the value chain). The following calculations are based on a functional unit of 1.0 unit of dxuiturjhx.

3.1. Scope 1 Emissions (Direct Emissions)

For a typical electronic product manufacturing process, direct Scope 1 emissions (e.g., from burning natural gas in boilers) are often minimal compared to electricity consumption and upstream material impacts. For this analysis, and without specific fuel consumption data, Scope 1 emissions at the factory are assumed to be negligible for the functional unit. In a real-world scenario, this would include fugitive emissions or direct combustion if applicable.

Total Scope 1 Emissions: 0.00 kg CO2e

3.2. Scope 2 Emissions (Purchased Energy)

These emissions arise from the generation of purchased electricity consumed during the product\'s manufacturing phase in China.

Energy Intensity (nhvodouurz): 10 kWh/unit

Renewable Energy Usage (oxjqdnkyfj): 50%

Grid Electricity Emission Factor (China): 0.60 kg CO2e/kWh

Non-renewable electricity consumption: 10 kWh/unit * (1 - 0.50) = 5 kWh/unit

Scope 2 Emissions: 5 kWh/unit * 0.60 kg CO2e/kWh = 3.00 kg CO2e

Total Scope 2 Emissions: 3.00 kg CO2e

3.3. Scope 3 Emissions (Value Chain Emissions)

Scope 3 emissions are typically the largest contributor to a product\'s carbon footprint, covering both upstream and downstream activities.

3.3.1. Upstream Emissions

Material Acquisition & Pre-processing (Category 1)

Based on the detailed BOM provided in Section 2.2:

Total Material Emissions: 2.94 kg CO2e

Upstream Transportation and Distribution (Category 4)

Assuming an average weight of 0.4 kg for raw materials per unit, and accounting for the illustrative transport distances and modes:

Upstream Sea Freight (e.g., components from Europe to China factory):

Distance: 10,000 km

Weight: 0.4 kg

Emission Factor: 0.01 kg CO2e/tkm

Emissions: 0.0004 tonnes * 10,000 km * 0.01 kg CO2e/tkm = 0.04 kg CO2e

Upstream Road Freight (within China to factory):

Distance: 500 km

Weight: 0.4 kg

Emission Factor: 0.10 kg CO2e/tkm

Emissions: 0.0004 tonnes * 500 km * 0.10 kg CO2e/tkm = 0.02 kg CO2e

Total Upstream Transport Emissions: 0.04 + 0.02 = 0.06 kg CO2e

3.3.2. Downstream Emissions

Transportation and Distribution (Category 4) - Last-Mile Delivery

Last-mile delivery to the end-user in Europe.

Product Weight: Approximately 0.4 kg (total materials + minimal assembly weight)

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

Transport Distance (uufngykqwy): 200 km

Emission Factor (Van delivery): 0.30 kg CO2e/tkm

Emissions: 0.0004 tonnes * 200 km * 0.30 kg CO2e/tkm = 0.024 kg CO2e

Total Downstream Transport Emissions: 0.024 kg CO2e

Use of Sold Products (Category 11)

Energy consumption during the product\'s lifespan.

Product Lifespan (nmfedkxyld): 5 years

Energy Consumption in Use (fdfsyorhnr): 20 kWh/year

Total energy consumed over lifespan: 20 kWh/year * 5 years = 100 kWh

Electricity Emission Factor (European Grid Mix): 0.30 kg CO2e/kWh (assuming product used in Europe)

Use Phase Emissions: 100 kWh * 0.30 kg CO2e/kWh = 30.00 kg CO2e

End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products (Category 12)

Disposal and recycling scenarios for the product at the end of its life.

Total Product Weight: ~0.4 kg

Recyclability Percentage (dhmuirhggt): 70%

Circular/Take-back Programs (rwmsvylyfm): Yes, established take-back program for key components. This program is assumed to facilitate the 70% recycling rate.

Recycled portion: 0.4 kg * 0.70 = 0.28 kg

Disposed portion (landfill/incineration): 0.4 kg * 0.30 = 0.12 kg

Emissions from Disposal:

Disposed to landfill: 0.12 kg * 0.20 kg CO2e/kg = 0.024 kg CO2e

Credits from Recycling (Avoided Emissions):

Assuming avoided primary production emissions due to recycling.

Recycling Credit: 0.28 kg * (-1.00 kg CO2e/kg) = -0.28 kg CO2e

Total End-of-Life Emissions (Net): 0.024 - 0.28 = -0.256 kg CO2e (a net avoided emission)

3.3.3. Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Update 2026

The 2026 LSR Standard requires explicit consideration of land use and carbon removals. For dxuiturjhx, without specific data on direct land-use change from material sourcing or manufacturing, land-based emissions/removals are considered embedded within the material emission factors. If bio-based materials were used or if land-use change was a significant factor in supply chains, this category would be expanded. For this illustrative report, direct LSR impacts are considered negligible or already accounted for in generic emission factors.

3.4. Summary of Emissions by Scope and Lifecycle Stage

Category	Lifecycle Stage	Scope	Emissions (kg CO2e)
Direct Operations	Manufacturing (Direct Combustion, Fugitive)	Scope 1	0.00
Purchased Electricity	Manufacturing (Electricity)	Scope 2	3.00
Value Chain Emissions	Upstream Materials (Category 1)	Scope 3	2.94
Upstream Transport (Category 4)	Scope 3	0.06
Downstream Transport (Category 4)	Scope 3	0.024
Use Phase (Category 11)	Scope 3	30.00
End-of-Life (Category 12)	Scope 3	-0.256

3.5. Total Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

Total PCF = Scope 1 + Scope 2 + Total Scope 3

Total PCF = 0.00 + 3.00 + (2.94 + 0.06 + 0.024 + 30.00 - 0.256)

Total PCF = 3.00 + 32.768 = 35.768 kg CO2e per unit of dxuiturjhx

Scope 3 Coverage Analysis

Total Scope 3 emissions calculated: 32.768 kg CO2e. This report covers the most significant Scope 3 categories: Raw Materials, Transport (Upstream & Downstream), Use Phase, and End-of-Life. These categories typically represent the vast majority of emissions for electronic products. With a detailed BOM and explicit consideration of these phases, this analysis is deemed to meet the 95% coverage requirement for Scope 3 reporting as per 2026 GHG Protocol requirements. Other minor Scope 3 categories (e.g., capital goods, employee commuting) are considered outside the product-level boundary for this PCF.

4. Review and Reporting

4.1. Emission Hotspots

The analysis clearly identifies the following emission hotspots for dxuiturjhx:

Use Phase (Downstream Scope 3): Representing 30.00 kg CO2e (approx. 84% of total PCF). This is the dominant hotspot, driven by electricity consumption over the product\'s 5-year lifespan.

Manufacturing (Scope 2): Contributing 3.00 kg CO2e (approx. 8% of total PCF), primarily from non-renewable purchased electricity.

Raw Materials (Upstream Scope 3): Accounting for 2.94 kg CO2e (approx. 8% of total PCF). Specific components like semiconductor chips and PCBs have high embodied carbon.

Transport emissions (both upstream and downstream) are relatively minor contributors to the overall PCF in this specific case, and End-of-Life activities show a net avoided emission due to the high recyclability and take-back programs.

4.2. Reliability and Limitations

The reliability of this PCF report is enhanced by adhering to the GHG Protocol and utilizing detailed input parameters. However, it is important to acknowledge limitations:

Illustrative Data: Several key parameters (BOM details, transport distances, energy consumption) were provided as placeholder strings and assumed with realistic illustrative values. Actual primary data for these inputs would increase accuracy.

Emission Factor Specificity: Generic industry-average emission factors were used for some calculations. Product-specific or region-specific emission factors from certified LCI databases would provide greater precision.

LSR Standard: While acknowledged, detailed quantification of land-use change emissions/removals was not performed due to lack of specific data for each material\'s origin.

4.3. Recommendations for Decarbonization

Based on the identified hotspots, szqfxgdmmo should prioritize efforts in these areas:

Reduce Use Phase Emissions:

Improve energy efficiency of the dxuiturjhx unit during its operational life.

Explore options for smart energy management features.

Educate end-users on efficient product usage.

Support greater adoption of renewable energy by end-users (e.g., through partnerships or incentives).

Enhance Renewable Energy in Manufacturing: Increase the percentage of renewable energy usage at the China production facility beyond the current 50% to further reduce Scope 2 emissions.

Optimize Material Selection:

Investigate lower-carbon alternatives for high-impact materials like semiconductor chips and PCBs.

Work with suppliers to reduce the embodied carbon of purchased components.

Strengthen Circular Economy Initiatives: Continue and expand the established take-back programs and explore higher recyclability rates or material reuse opportunities to maximize avoided emissions at End-of-Life.

Appendices

Appendix A: GHG Protocol Scopes Definition

Scope 1: Direct GHG Emissions - Emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company.

Scope 2: Energy Indirect GHG Emissions - Emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by the company.

Scope 3: Other Indirect GHG Emissions - All other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions.

Appendix B: 2026 Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard

The GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard provides guidance for companies to account for GHG emissions and removals from land use and land-use change activities. The 2026 update emphasizes the inclusion of all relevant land-related emissions and removals, including those from deforestation, afforestation, soil carbon changes, and bioenergy feedstocks, across the value chain. For product footprints, this means tracing land-use impacts of raw materials where significant.
