The Carbon Catalogue public database – Carbon footprints of 866 commercial products across 8 industry sectors and 5 continents

Using data reported to CDP, we have previously built a dataset of 866 PCFs, from 145 companies, 30 industry groups, and 28 countries, showing trends of how upstream and downstream emissions vary by industry and how life cycle assessment (LCA) appears to aid companies in achieving steeper carbon reductions through improvements throughout a product’s value chain. Here, we present the greenhouse gas emissions and respective meta data for every product in this dataset. The Carbon Catalogue provides each product with name and description, PCF (in kg CO2e) and the respective LCA protocol/standard, product weight, as well as the name, industry, and country of incorporation of its manufacturer. For a subset of 421 products, the Carbon Catalogue further includes the PCF’s reported breakdown into two to nine separate stages of the product’s life cycle. For another subset of 250 products, the Carbon Catalogue includes how the respective PCFs changed and why the changes occurred.

借助向CDP报告的数据，我们先前构建了一个包含866个PCFs（产品碳足迹）的数据集，该数据集涵盖145家公司、30个行业集团和28个国家的数据，展示了上游和下游排放随行业的变化趋势，以及生命周期评估（LCA）似乎如何助力企业在整个产品价值链的优化过程中实现更深层次的碳排放减少。在此，我们展示了该数据集中每个产品的温室气体排放及其相应的元数据。碳目录为每个产品提供了名称、描述、PCF（以千克二氧化碳当量计）以及相应的生命周期评估协议/标准、产品重量，以及制造商的名称、所属行业和注册国家。对于421个产品的子集，碳目录还进一步包括了PCF按产品生命周期两个至九个不同阶段的详细分解报告。对于另外250个产品的子集，碳目录还展示了相应的PCFs如何发生变化及其变化的原因。
