How can steel and petrochemical products establish credible product carbon footprints?
During each customer questionnaire, annual inventory or audit period, personnel in the petrochemical and steel industry often need to reorganize fuel, process emissions, steam, electricity, raw material composition, output and equipment efficiency data. The real difficulty is usually not filling in the last number, but the scattered information, different calibers, and confirming who provided it, who reviewed it, and why the previous version was modified. When the petrochemical and steel industry dealt with product carbon footprints in the past, each unit often collected fuel and process emissions based on their own forms and understandings.
