WHAT IS A CARBON FOOTPRINT?

​

Carbon footprint is the study of calculating the carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents of the effects of greenhouse gases formed as a result of activities such as production, service and processing determined by the Kyoto Protocol. Carbon footprint calculation should be done before carbon footprint reduction process. It is not known exactly how and how much the carbon footprint will be reduced. After the calculation, it is possible to reduce the carbon footprint with alternative solutions by examining the emission sources. The awareness to be created in this area is important for the development of low-emission technologies and for a cleaner world.

ISO 14064-1 STANDARD AND CARBON FOOTPRINT

​

The ISO 14064 standard covers the principles and requirements for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and removals at the enterprise level. This standard also covers the requirements for the design, development, management, reporting and verification of an organizations greenhouse gas inventory. The ISO 14064 series of standards is a neutral greenhouse gas program. When a greenhouse gas program is implemented, the requirements of this greenhouse gas program are a continuation of the requirements in the ISO 14064 series standards.
