Carbon Footprint Initiative

Carbon Footprint Yearbook
The new Carbon Footprint Yearbook (CFY) provides carbon footprints for 233 chemical processes. Coverage includes all of the primary petrochemicals and their process chains, plus bio-processes. Data are presented via a web-based calculation tool which allows customization by fuel type and geographic location. For processes with appreciable by-products the tool provides multiple options for emissions allocations (all by mass): entirely to the main product, to the major co-products, or across the high value products only.

Reports
These in-depth reports provide analysis of issues related to carbon emissions and regulation.

Greenhouse Gases Handbook (Subscribers Only)

The Carbon Footprint Initiative also provides private client services for analysis by product or process, well-to-product, and benchmarking.

PET’s CARBON FOOTPRINT
To Recycle or Not to Recycle

For countries with adequate space and little recycling infrastructure, disposing of bottles in landfill generates a lower carbon footprint than recycling or incineration. This report is an independent evaluation of the carbon footprint of PET bottles with an analysis of secondary packaging from cradle to grave and from production of raw materials through to disposal. The study draws on SRIC’s deep knowledge of chemicals and plastics production as well as its Carbon Footprint Yearbook. [Purchase]
