Carbon Footprint Assessment - Grandi & Vetiver (1).pptx
- 1. Carbon Footprint Assessment Grandi& Vetiver – Raw material Production Loganathan M
- 2. Carbon footprint ? Acarbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions. It can be individually, community, organization. Carbon footprint assessment ? A carbon footprint assessment measures the total set of greenhouses gases that are emitted at different stages of a product's life cycle. The most recognized methodologies used for a carbon footprint assessment are based upon the ISO 14044 standard and the PAS 2050. Greenhouse gases. System boundaries and scopes. Two types • Off farm • On farm Benefits of Carbon foot print ? Quite simply; reducing waste, reduces cost which improves a business's bottom line. A carbon footprint helps to identify the waste or inefficiencies within a business in terms of energy and raw material consumption Loganathan M

Direct use ofenergy The type of energy consumes Operating farm machinery and trucks Fieldwork (tractors, combines, balers, rotators, Harvesters, sprayers, weeders, etc.) Inputs purchase trucks/Auto Diesel fuel Operating small vehicles (Bikes, cars, Autos) Farm management activities Gasoline Operating Small Equipment Irrigation Equipment ( Eb, Solar - pumps ) Sprayer Brush cutter Slips Segregation Animal waste management Diesel fuel Electricity Gasoline Diesel fuel Natural Gas General farm overhead Lighting for farmhouses, sheds, farms Power for farm household appliances Electricity Custom Operations Fieldwork ( Combining, Cleaning, Clearing, harvesting, Irrigation) Diesel fuel, Oil Marketing Transportation, elevator to the terminal, processor to relevant market Diesel fuel, Gasoline Indirect use of energy The type of energy consumes Fertilizer Nitrogen (Natural gas is 70 % to 90 % of the cost of Production – fertilizer) Phosphate (Natural gas is 70 % to 90 % of the cost of Production fertilizer) Potash (Natural gas is 70 % to 90 % of cost of Production – fertilizer) Natural Gas Pesticides Insecticides Herbicides Fungicides Petroleum and Natural Gas ( Apart from this there are parameters also included like photosynthesis,composting,etc.) Model chart for vetiver farming GHG emissions chart Loganathan M
- 5. What exactly weare looking on carbon footprint ? To know exact GHG emissions in our production(Vetiver, grandi) is to be measure and carbon footprint reduction measures to be taken for control the GHG and etc. Loganathan M
- 6. Loganathan M Based onthe piolet survey we will come for the final measure method for the Carbon foot print
