LATEST NEWS
We are pleased to announce the release of the full CCaLC Carbon Footprinting Tool.
CCaLC is a carbon fooprinting tool that enables quick and easy estimations of the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions along the whole supply chain. It provides a powerful tool for reducing and managing carbon footprints of products, processes or supply chains with a methodological approach that follows the internationally accepted life cycle methodology as defined by ISO 14044 and PAS2050. The tool is simple to use by non-experts and it comes with comprehensive databases, including the Ecoinvent database.
| Features |
- Carbon footprinting
The CCaLC tool calculates carbon footprints from 'cradle to grave'. It enables identification of carbon 'hot spots' and carbon reduction opportunities.
- Other environmental impacts
CCaLC also calculates other environmental impacts to show how they may be affected by any changes in the carbon footprint. These include acidification, eutrophication, ozone layer depletion, photochemical (summer) smog and human toxicity.
- Economic impacts
CCaLC enables estimation of economic value added, to show the trade-offs between 'carbon added' and 'value added'. The cost of reducing carbon footprints can also be estimated.
- Optimisation of carbon footprints
The tool enables identification of optimum low-carbon options at minimum costs.
- Databases and Case studies
A number of databases and case studies have been included in CCaLC which can be modified to suit the specific needs of the user. Databases include: materials, energy, transport, packaging and waste. Overall, there are over 5000 data items included in the databases. Case studies included focus on chemicals, food and drink, bio-feedstocks and biofules industries.
