Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon footprint quantification, and in particular to a method for quantifying the carbon footprint of a product. Background Art

[0002] With the large-scale development of global industrialization, human activities have generated a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions, causing greenhouse gas emissions to be at the highest level in human history and continue to increase. In addition, due to the differences in industrial development and product production technology between developed and developing countries, developed countries use product carbon footprints to restrict the export of developing countries' products and promote the technological progress of developing countries' products. At present, many departments such as the state, provinces and cities have successively issued policies to promote the construction of domestic product carbon footprint management systems. Many companies and third-party institutions have also carried out product carbon footprint quantification work, and various product carbon footprint certificates have appeared on the market. However, the relevant quantification work is mainly based on the international standard ISO 14067-2018. However, this standard does not have a clear set of quantification methods, and the carbon footprint quantification results are one of the most important data in product carbon footprint research and disclosure, and are also the core indicators for evaluating the carbon footprint performance of the product. Therefore, the importance of completely and scientifically quantifying the product carbon footprint results is self-evident.

[0003] At present, the product carbon footprint research or disclosure often uses the life cycle inventory method or directly uses professional life cycle analysis software. The above methods use general quantification methods and require pre-processing of data that meets the requirements. They cannot cope with the quantification of complex product carbon footprints and have a high threshold for users. In addition, the above methods do not consider the carbon footprint burden distribution of renewable material cycles, and often calculate the carbon footprint of renewable materials by default as zero. All of the above will lead to deviations and non-reproducibility of product carbon footprint quantification results, and affect the scientific nature of product carbon footprint quantification, thereby affecting the scope of application of product carbon footprint quantification results. Summary of the invention
