Methodology for Estimation of Direct and Indirect Carbon Footprint of Cement Industry
Abstract: The present study describes the methodology to estimate direct and indirect carbon footprint of cement industry using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Major construction element produced in almost all countries is cement and cement manufacturing process is an energy and carbon intensive process. Cement industry contributes about five percent of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Upto till date, indirect carbon footprint and fewer …

A Systematic Study on Carbon Footprinting Calculation of Forging Industry and Its Carbon Offsetting through Renewable Energy Source
Abstract: Forging industries are considered to be the most polluting industries causing not only air but also noise pollution. These industrial units mostly contain different types of furnaces and power hammers. Furnace oil is the main fuel used because of the considerable consumption of furnace oil. In this study, forged auto components were identified and a carbon footprint assessment was scientifically grounded. An effort was made for identification and calculation of …
