| description | The two biggest environmental issues the world is currently dealing with are global warming and climate change. Minimizing energy consumption will help to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, which is our responsibility. Companies choose ‘Carbon Footprint’ as a tool to calculate greenhouse gas emissions to show the impact of their activities on the environment. The techniques and procedures used in the analysis of carbon footprints are the primary focus of this study. Several criteria for evaluating carbon footprints were compared to one another to uncover parallels, variances, and deficiencies. Carbon footprints of companies and items were analyzed, and their objectives, ideas, topics of inquiry, calculation techniques, data choices, and additional elements were investigated. Standards for both organizations (ISO14064 and the GHG protocol) and products were compared and contrasted to arrive at accurate carbon footprint estimates. The most important aspects of a carbon footprint and assessment criterion are the research of GHG, system settings, measurement and carbon footprint, date, and treatment of individual emissions. Especially true for commercial enterprises and consumer goods. Guidelines have been produced for these challenges based on valuation criteria that have been used up to this point; nonetheless, they should be enhanced. This study highlights the need to formulate policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. |
