The New Method Exploration and Research on Product Carbon Footprint Calculation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the existed study at home and abroad on product carbon footprint, we change product carbon footprint calculation perspective from Life Cycle Assessment to"Innovation Chain" perspective, trying to build a Reverse-trace product carbon footprint calculation model based on innovation chain, dedicated to breakthrough results achieved by the original calculation method, at the same time, to provide a scientific basis for setting reasonable standard for product carbon, identifying the opportunities accurately for carbon emission and measuring carbon reduction potential potential accurately and implementing the carbon reduction strategies effectively.
