2. Hello!
I am Sameer Turki

3. This report was compiled with inputs from
Ankit Mahla, Shubham Varshney and Vijesh Kumar.
The Green House Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) standards have been used
while making this report.

Future generations may well have
occasion to ask themselves,
"What were our parents thinking?
Why didn't they wake up when
they had a chance?" We have to
hear that question from them,
now.

Introduction

6. The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol
▣A widely used standard for emissions reporting.
▣Covers project emissions reporting and corporate
emissions reporting.
▣The corporate emissions reporting standard provides
a methodology for calculation of a carbon footprint.
▣ISO 140645 is an international standard for corporate
emissions reporting.
▣It builds on the approach outlined in the Greenhouse
Gas Protocol.

7. Green House Gas Emissions
▣Greenhouse gas emissions are the driving force
behind climate change.
▣The most common and least effecient greenhouse
gas is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Classification of greenhouse gases
•Direct emissions that result from activities of the
organisation controls.
•Indirect emissions from the use of electricity, products
and services.

8. Different GHG have ranging global warming potentials
are relative to the amount of heat an individual GHG
traps in the atmosphere. CO2 is the baseline GHG as it
is the least efficient but most common and so has a
potential of one. The warming potentials are shown
below;
CO2 = 1
CH4 = 25
N2O = 298
HFCs = 124-14,800 (Range)
PFCs = 7,500-10,300 (Range)
SF6 = 22,800
Greenhouse Gas Potential

9. ▣In recent times, it was found that HFCs have several thousand times
capacity in retaining heat in the atmosphere compared to carbon
dioxide (CO2), a potent GHG. Thus, it can be said that HFCs have
helped ozone layer but exacerbated global warming. Currently, HFCs
are the world’s fastest GHGs, with emissions increasing by up to 10%
each year.

10. Carbon Footprint
▣A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event,
product or person."
▣Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport,
land clearance, and the production and consumption of
food, fuels, manufactured goods, materials, wood,
roads, buildings, and services.
▣For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in
terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent
of other GHGs, emitted.

11. What Is Carbon Footprinting?
Carbon footprint is a
measure of the impact our
activities have on the
environment, and in
particular climate change. It
relates to the amount of
greenhouse gases produced
in our day-to-day lives.

12. Carbon Credits
▣Certificates issued to countries those reduce their
emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) which causes
global warming.
▣Came into existence as a result of increasing
awareness of the need for controlling emissions.
▣One Carbon Credit is equal to one ton of Carbon
Dioxide
▣Methane and nitrous oxide have approximately 21
times and 310 times, respectively, the heat-trapping
capacity of carbon dioxide.
▣Reducing methane by one ton is equivalent to
reducing carbon dioxide by 21 tons.

19. PROCEDURE:
Collection of data
Calculation of emission
Total carbon footprint

20. Formulas Used
1. LPG Consumed in a year
BE=∑FC fuel x COEF fuel
and
COEF fuel=∑NCV fuel x EFCO2 fuel
where,
NCF of LPG=47.30 TJ/1000tonnes
EFCO2=63100 Kg CO2/TJ
Fuel Consumed= 0.2556 tonnes
Oxidation Factor=1
Calculating COEF: 47.30 TJ/1000tonnes x 63100KgCO2/TJ

21. Formulas Used
2. Amount of Petrol consumed per year-
We can use the above formula
Where,
NCV of petrol=44.30 TJ/1000tonnes
EFCO2= 69300 Kg CO2/TJ
Fuel Consumed= in tonnes
Oxidation Factor=1
3. Electricity consumed per year-
Specific efficient value for India is 1.093 tCO2

22. Data Collected
LPG: 168 cylinders/yr
Electricity: 102857 kWh
Travel (Petrol consumption): 2400L
