ABSTRACT
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.
