How does a yarn texturising unit in Silvassa work out carbon per kg?
Texturising runs on electricity for heaters, godets and winders. Take kWh from the bill, multiply by 0.710 kg CO2, and divide by kg of textured yarn. For a buyer's full figure, add the partially oriented yarn you buy, from the supplier or a database factor, labelled as such.
Inputs
- Electricity bill units.
- DG diesel during outages.
- Kg of yarn produced and POY consumed.
Biggest lever
POY usually carries far more than the texturising step. Ask the POY maker for its figure.
Worked example
- Electricity: 180,000 kWh x 0.710 kg = 127.8 t CO2
- Yarn produced: 400,000 kg
- About 0.32 kg CO2 per kg, before POY
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
