More about the emissions factor database
Carbon Footprint Ltd, the award winning Sustainability Consultants have introduced a new on-line tool that provide unique access toover 4500 Life Cycle Emission factors for common products and processes. From agriculture, to retail products and construction/manufacturing materials, such as to metals and plastics, the range is huge.
Carbon Footprint Ltd’s new tool gathers together a range of emission factors, including all records from the internationally renowned EcoInvent database, used under licence. It also includes a vast number ofemission factors held within Carbon Footprint Ltd’s own Life Cycle Inventory (LCI).
“We’ve designed our Carbon Footprint Emission Factor tool to be easy to use so that you can find and download the emission factors you need very quickly and without fuss.” Said Managing Director, John Buckley.
Many businesses and other organisations are now assessing the carbon impact of their products and services; the main drivers for this are equally important – namely supply chain pressure to disclose the emissions, but also a need to assess and manage down the carbon within their own production/operations to reduce costs and improve sustainability. Carbon Footprint Ltd’s new on-line tool enables organisations to quickly amass the information they need to make the LCA assessments. There is just a small charge for downloading factors, which can be purchased individually, saving considerable expense in comparison with purchasing entire databases of data (most of which you may not need).
“The Emission factor tool is just part of the way we help our clients to carry out Life Cycle Assessments. As the markets move forward to are committed to support our clients to manage carbon and sustainability within their businesses and supply chains.” Concluded Buckley.
