ISO 14067 Carbon footprint of products - Part 1: Quantification

Contents

INTRODUCTION

SCOPE NORMATIVE REFERENCES TERMS AND DEFINITIONS PRINCIPLES METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK

– GENERAL

– GOAL AND SCOPE DEFINITION OF THE QUANTIFICATION OF CFP

– GOAL OF CFP STUDY – SCOPE OF CFP STUDY (FUNCTIONAL UNIT, BOUNDARIES,

OFFSETTING, DATA & DATA QUALITY, USE STAGE & USE PROFILE)

– INVENTORY ANALYSIS OF CFP

– GENERAL

– TIME PERIOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF GHG EMISSIONS

–

TREATMENT OF SPECIFIC GHG EMISSION SOURCES AND SINKS(ELECTRICITY SUPPLY, LAND USE CHANGE)

– ALLOCATION TO CO-PRODUCTS

– IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF CFP INTERPRETATION OF CFP REPORTING ANNEXES (informative): A (GWP), D (Limitations), E (LUC)

GUIDANCE ON COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR COMMUNICATION OF CFP

– General (Declarations, Requirements for Declarations Directed to EndConsumers, Confidentiality, Units of measurement, Age of data)

– Declaring Overall Emissions

– Declaring emissions for specific stages of the life cycle

ISO 14067 Carbon footprint of products - Part 2: Communication

Contents



12ISOCS ID 15455229

Comparison of objectives/expectations (1)

PAS 2050

internal assessment of life cycle GHG emissions of products;Facilitates evaluation of alternative product configurations;Benchmark for programmes aimed at reducing GHG emissions; Allows for comparison of goods and services;Supports reporting on corporate responsibility;Provides a common basis for reporting and communicating life cycle GHG

emissions;Provides an opportunity for greater consumer understanding of life cycleGHG emissions

WRI/WBCSD

Guidance for companies and other organizations to prepare an inventory of emissions associated with a product;

Primary purpose to support public reporting of product life cycle GHGemissions to help users reduce these emissions;

Public reporting refers to providing emissions-related information for a product,in accordance with the reporting requirements specified under the standard;

Standard

does not directly enable comparative assertions or product labeling;

Is not intended to support the accounting of GHG emission offsets or claims of carbon neutrality;



13ISOCS ID 15455229

Comparison of objectives/expectations (2)

ISO

Benefits organizations, governments, project proponents and stakeholders byproviding clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting andverifying the carbon footprint of products;

Part 1 specifies principles and requirements for studies to quantify CarbonFootprint of Products (CFP), based on the method of life cycle assessment

(LCA);Part 2 specifies

requirements for the development of information to communicate thecarbon footprint of products, calculated according to Part 1 of ISO 14067;

Guidelines how to use such information on the CFP;



14ISOCS ID 15455229

Harmonization

Harmonization: common goal for PAS2050,

WRI/WBCSD & ISO

Focus on requirements

Also relevant: principles; terms & definitions;

verification

Means of harmonization

Limits of harmonization

Added value of more than one approach



15ISOCS ID 15455229

Role of CFP

Refers to the calculation of the amount of GHGemissions associated with a company, event, activity,or the lifecycle of a good/service,Enables to ascertain and manage GHG emissions

along the supply chain

Safeguards the survival of companies in the changingregulatory and economic business landscapeFurthers the understanding of the risks and

opportunities in the supply chain Allows to focus effort in response to new regulatory,shareholder and consumer pressures



16ISOCS ID 15455229

Challenges - CFP

Basic challenge: – right balance between practicality – environmental

integrity/credibility

–Role of PCRs

–Timing

Harmonization WRI/WBCSD – PAS2050 – ISO 14067

–Common basis: Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040)

– ISO: also ISO 14020 (labelling) and ISO 14064(verification)



17ISOCS ID 15455229

Next steps

Next meeting: 6th meeting WG 2: León (Mexico) July 2010

Current planning:CD registration March 2010DIS registration Sept 2010 FDIS registration Sept 2011

IS publication March 2012

Faster track option:DIS registration March 2010

FDIS registration June 2011 IS publication Oct 2011



18ISOCS ID 15455229

Vision and realities

Transition to a zero/low-carbon society impliesthat the CFP of all products and services have tobe managedEconomic crises offers a unique opportunity to

restructure the supply chains of productsBottom-up efforts along supply chainscomplement top-down efforts at national andinternational levelReducing the risks of climate change may require

negative global GHG emissions after 2050
