Problem 1:
A multinational corporation is conducting a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis across its operations, supply chain, and product lifecycle. The following data has been collected for the fiscal year:
Natural Gas Consumption: 1,000,000 MMBtu
Company Fleet Fuel (Diesel): 500,000 gallons
Electricity Purchased: 750,000MWh
Heating (purchased steam): 200,000 MMBtu
Business Travel: 10,000,000 miles (air travel, average short-haul)
Employee Commuting: 5,000,000 miles (average car travel)
Waste Generated: 25,000 tons (non-recycled)
Purchased Goods and Services: $500,000,000(spend-based method, average emission factor of 0.1kg CO2e per dollar spent)
Emission Factors:
Natural Gas: 53.06kgCO2eMMBtu
Diesel: 10.21kgCCO ?()2gallon
Electricity: 0.4kgCO23kWh
Steam: 50kgCO2eMMBM
Air Travel (short-haul): 0.15kgCQ2emile
Car Travel: 0.4kgCO2emile
Waste: 1.2kgCO2ekg
Using the given data, calculate the following:
Define what are scope 12?3 emissions, and categorize the emissions given under each scope. (you can find information online on scopes and their definitions, give reference on where you found the information)
Calculate the total CO2 emissions for each scope and the overall carbon footprint for the fiscal year.
Determine the percentage contribution of each category within each scope to its total emissions; draw pie-chart showing category wise contributions.
