Methodology for PCF Calculations of Lubricants, Greases and other Specialties
GHG Protocol Product Standard
Greenhouse Gas
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard
Gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation. Carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons are examples of greenhouse gases.
ISO 14067:2018
Standard that provides principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification and communication of the carbon footprint of a product based on LCA principles.
Life Cycle Assessment
Compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle. ISO 14040.
Life Cycle Impact Assessment Evaluating the magnitude and significance of the potential environmental impacts for a product system throughout the life cycle of the product (ISO14040:2006)
Life Cycle Inventory
LCI is the data collection portion of LCA; a methodology step that involves creating an inventory of input and output flows for a product system.
Lubricants
A lubricant is a liquid or solid that lubricates surfaces to mainly reduce friction and wear but also to fulfill other functions such as cooling, corrosion protection or vibration damping.
Partial PCF
Method of calculating carbon emissions that accounts for the carbon footprint of each stage in the production process. It focuses on specific stages in the life cycle of a product or component and calculates the carbon emissions associated with them (such as cradle-to-gate, gate-to-gate, etc.).
Primary data
Quantified value of a process or an activity obtained from a direct measurement or a calculation based on a direct measurement
