Assessing the carbon footprint of products Case study: Transportation route construction project Cape Seal Road surface

Abstract

     This research is an evaluation of the carbon footprint of products, a case study of a transportation route construction project. Cape Seal traffic surface based on methods for evaluating product carbon footprints From the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization Using the principles of life cycle assessment (Life Cycle Assessment: LCA) in a B2B format by evaluating in 2 product life stages, namely, the acquisition of raw materials and production range Period of acquiring raw materials There was a release of a carbon footprint equal to 1.08 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per product unit, and during the production period there was a release of a carbon footprint equal to 0.08 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per product unit. By the process of acquiring raw materials It has the highest greenhouse gas emissions value, accounting for 92.85 percent. No. 2 production process. The highest greenhouse gas emissions value is 7.15 percent.
