How does a chemical unit in Taloja work out CO2 per tonne of product?
Count fuel burnt for steam and heat, grid electricity at 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh, and any process emissions from reactions. Divide by tonnes produced, or allocate by steam and power use when several products share utilities. Buyers will ask for both Scope 1 and 2.
Inputs
- Boiler fuel: PNG, furnace oil or coal.
- Grid electricity and any DG set diesel.
- Process CO2 from reactions, if any.
Allocation
Use batch records for steam and power per product, not a flat split by sales value.
Records
Gas and fuel invoices, electricity bills and batch production logs.
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.
