Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory at an Agrochemical Production Facility

Climate change is a pressing global issue primarily driven by increased concentrations of GHGs (Greenhouse Gases) in the atmosphere. GHGs such as CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide), CH₄ (Methane), and N₂O (Nitrous Oxide) trap solar radiation, contributing to global warming. This study presents a GHG emissions inventory for an agrochemical production plant based on ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 14064-1:2018. Emissions from both direct (fuel combustion) and indirect (electricity consumption) sources were quantified. Results indicate that indirect emissions from electricity use account for 91% of total GHGs, while direct emissions from fossil fuel combustion contribute 9%. Electricity consumption emerged as the primary contributor to the plant’s carbon footprint.
