Carbon Footprint Assessment of a Product: A Case Study of Oil Production Using Pyrolysis Technology Process

Abstract

     This study of evaluating the amount of carbon footprint resulting from a case study of oil production using pyrolysis technology process that is quantitative research. This study aims to study related law and study the amount of carbon footprint that occurs from the process of converting plastic into fuel. This study focused on the construction project for a municipal waste power plant with pyrolysis technology in the area of Udon Thani Province. The data collection from a list and flow diagram of the process of converting plastic into fuel using pyrolysis technology to calculate the proportion of the amount of incoming substances to the amount of outgoing substances in each processing process at 1 kilogram to analyze energy use. The use of energy resources for processing plastic into fuel using pyrolysis technology, which uses data to estimate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. It found that the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the plastic processing process comes out as 1 kilogram of fuel has a value, which is equal to 0.7051 kgCO₂eq whereas the oil refining process
