-0.592 kg CO2eq. per kg feedstock CO2for the direct air capture process. These performance metrics allow informed technical, economic, and environmental decisions to be made on the choice of an industry or process to serve as a source CO2with an associated CO2footprint. A case in point from...
Before calculating the carbon footprint of steel corrosion, it is necessary to determine how much of the annual production of crude steel is required to replace corroded goods and infrastructure. Pourbaix and Muylder qualitatively estimated that between 25 and 33% of the annual steel production is...
At the European Coatings Show (ECS) in Nuremberg from March 19 to 21, 2013, the Munich-based WACKER Group is introducing its latest product innovations for packaging and printing ink applications: The novel surface coating resin VINNACOAT LL 8100 allows effective seali... Comment on this ...
The spectrally resolved change in light transmission through the filters was then interpreted as an equivalent absorption by a certain mass of light-absorbing material per unit area of the filter. The equivalent absorption allowed us to assess the Ångström exponent of light-absorbing impurities in...
This paper uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to compare the environmental impacts of energy and global warming potential (carbon footprint) of a three-storey timber building with alternative concrete, steel, and low- energy timber buildings. The environmental impacts are assessed with reference to gr...
All-recycled, needle-punched nonwoven CFRP slashes carbon footprint of Formula 2 seat Dallara and Tenowo collaborate to produce a race-ready Formula 2 seat using recycled carbon fiber, reducing CO2 emissions by 97.5% compared to virgin materials. ...
The Volvo EX30 possesses the smallest carbon footprint of any fully electric Volvo car to date1. That’s according to the life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Volvo EX30, available here, which concludes that it has a total carbon footprint of 23 tonnes per 200,000 ...

Introduction The annual sales of the global pizza market are currently around USD 145 billion, including USD 54.4 billion in Western Europe, USD 50.7 ...
About 4.68 × 106 kg CO2 was produced during the physical phase of this example, resulting in a 377.98 kg CO2 carbon footprint on each square meter of floor surface. Construction material production and processing had the largest carbon footprint, followed by on-site construction, building materi...
COVID-19 severely impacted the global economy due to imposed lockdowns around the globe. However, the pandemic contributed to the shift toward sustainable business practices driven by investors, consumers, and even employees, who measured and monitored the carbon footprint of their manufacturing facil...
