Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon emission management, and in particular to a prediction method for carbon footprint tracing calculation. Background Art
[0002] Carbon footprint is an indicator used to measure the amount of carbon dioxide emissions caused directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, product or country within a certain period of time. The calculation of carbon footprint covers the emissions of the entire life cycle of a product or service from production, transportation, final use to waste disposal. This comprehensive assessment method enables us to more accurately understand and evaluate the impact of human activities on the environment. The introduction of the carbon footprint concept is intended to remind people to be aware of the urgency of responding to climate change. By calculating and understanding the carbon footprint of an individual or organization, people can identify and implement strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus combat global warming.
[0003] Blockchain technology plays an important role in carbon footprint traceability. Through the encryption technology and intelligence of blockchain, national and industry authorities are accelerating the establishment of a product carbon footprint management system, formulating relevant accounting rules and standards, and clarifying accounting boundaries, accounting methods, data quality requirements and traceability requirements. The traceability calculation of product carbon footprint requires not only scientific methods and strict data management, but also the use of modern technical means, such as energy consumption monitoring, carbon emission monitoring and digital platforms, to achieve accurate data traceability and management. Through these measures, companies can effectively manage and reduce the carbon footprint of their products, and also predict corporate carbon emissions, helping to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
[0004] The traceability calculation of product carbon footprint is a complex and multi-step process involving multiple technologies and methods. The following is a detailed explanation: First, it is necessary to clearly define the goal and scope of evaluating the product carbon footprint. The present invention includes the calculation and prediction of the carbon footprint of raw material mining, the carbon footprint of raw material production, and the carbon footprint of raw material transportation and the impact of raw material mining on the environment from the traceability calculation of carbon footprint. That is, it evaluates the entire life cycle of the product from the collection of raw materials to production and processing, transportation, consumption and use, and final disposal. During the calculation process, various greenhouse gas emissions will be recorded in detail and expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
[0005] When calculating the carbon footprint, relevant data needs to be collected, including energy consumption, raw material mining, emissions during the production process, etc. The quality requirements of these data are high, and accuracy and traceability must be ensured.
