Carbon Footprint Verification Report
Reporting Entity: Tianjin Xinlihua Pigment Co., Ltd.
Reporting Year: 20 20 year
Preparation Date Period: 20 21 May 12th
I. Adoption of Standards
The ISO 14064 standard is implemented in accordance with the PAS 2050 specification and its associated guidance documents.
II. Scope of Inspection
Scope of the inspection: 2020 Annual Tianjin Xinlihua Pigment Co., Ltd. Production activities and non-production activities.
Define the boundaries: The product’s carbon footprint equals raw materials + energy + manufacturing processes + packaging and storage + transportation.
III. Measurement Activities
1. Measurement range:
Energy, fuel, and electricity consumption; materials produced; services provided—these are then compared with reductions in carbon emissions. Comparing implemented activities, such as energy demand and usage management, energy efficiency upgrades, and technological or process improvements, GHG capture and storage, transportation and travel demand management, fuel switching, and the use of renewable energy.
2. Measurement tools and methods: Calculations include:
(1). GHG activity data multiplied by the emission or removal factor;
(2). Use of the model;
(3). Affiliation with a specific factory;
(4). Mass balance method.
(5). Measurement is a collection of hard data—either continuous or periodic—whereas composite methods combine computational and measurement approaches.
3. CO calculated in tons 2 e emissions, expressed in tonnes of CO 2 e Remove.
4. Data Collection Guidelines
Calculating a carbon footprint requires two types of data: activity‑level data and emission‑factor data.
Activity data are derived from on-site measurements; emission factors use the default values specified by the IPCC.
Activity-level data primarily include purchased electricity, tap water, and similar inputs.
Note: Organic raw materials have not been purchased, so related carbon emissions are not currently accounted for. Carbon emissions generated during product transportation are also excluded (outsourced).

3. Data Calculation
3.1 Calculation Formula
The carbon dioxide emission equivalent is the product of the emission factor and the activity level associated with that factor:
Ei: Ai × EFi ……(1)
In the formula, Ei denotes the carbon dioxide emissions from the i-th activity, in tonnes; Ai represents the activity level of the i-th activity (e.g., coal consumption, in tonnes); and Ei is the emission factor for the i-th activity, which is the amount of CO2 emitted per unit of fuel. Note that the units of emission factors vary depending on the type of fuel.
Total carbon dioxide emissions, E = Σi Ai × EFi …… (2)
The emission equivalents of methane and nitrous oxide are the product of the emission factor, the activity level based on that factor, and the global warming potential: Eij = Aij × EFij × GWPj …… (3)
In the formula, Eij The emissions of the jth greenhouse gas from the ith activity. (t); Aij is the activity level of the i-th activity for the j-th greenhouse gas (e.g., coal consumption, in tonnes); Eij is the emission factor of the j-th greenhouse gas for the i-th activity, representing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per unit of fuel; emission factors vary depending on the type of fuel.
GWPj is the global warming potential of the jth greenhouse gas. Total carbon dioxide equivalent emissions:
E=ΣiΣjAij×EFij×GWPj…… (4)
3.2 Calculation Results
According to Equation (4), the annual carbon dioxide emissions amount to 1,680,183 t. A total of 4,987.72 t of coating products were produced over the year. Consequently, the carbon footprint per ton of coating product is e = 1,680,183 / 4,987.72 = 336.86.
As revealed by the emissions accounting, the company’s carbon emissions are primarily attributable to electricity consumption, which accounts for 66.7% of its total emissions.
VI. Uncertainty Analysis
The main sources of uncertainty include: the use of secondary data; In this report, emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen oxides from mobile sources have been omitted; initially… Level‑1 data are subject to measurement error and computational error.
The main approaches to reducing uncertainty are: substituting high‑accuracy primary data for secondary data, and implementing continuous monitoring of energy consumption at each process step to enhance the reliability of primary data.
VII. Conclusion
The company’s carbon emissions are primarily concentrated in energy-related activities; therefore, its low-carbon action plan should focus on energy consumption and implement measures to conserve energy and reduce resource use.
Low carbon is an inevitable choice for the future survival and development of enterprises. Conducting product carbon‑footprint accounting is the first step toward effective greenhouse‑gas management and the formulation of a low‑carbon development strategy. By assessing the carbon footprint across a product’s life cycle, companies can identify emission sources, quantify emissions at each stage of production, and lay the groundwork for setting realistic reduction targets and shaping their strategic direction.
