How does a Pali dyeing and printing unit count CO2 from its boiler?
Multiply the coal, lignite or wood used each month by its emission factor: coal and lignite in full in Scope 1, wood with its CO2 reported as biogenic. Add electricity at 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh. Divide by metres or kilograms processed.
Boiler fuel
- Coal or lignite: weigh at receipt and note GCV from the supplier.
- Wood or agro waste: CO2 biogenic, methane and N2O in Scope 1.
- Thermic fluid heaters count the same way.
Electricity
Units from bills at the CEA factor; the shared effluent plant's power is usually billed separately.
Per unit
Divide by fabric processed, keeping dyeing and printing apart if heat use differs.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, electricity and production documents into dated, fingerprinted plant records, so the monthly intensity behind a figure can be traced to its source.
