When factoring heat generation required for the manufacturing and transportation of products, Greenhouse gas emissions attributable to products, from food to sneakers to appliances, make up more than 75% of global emissions. -The Carbon Catalogue
Our data, which is publicly available on here, contains product carbon footprints (PCFs) for various companies. PCFs are the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to a given product, measured in CO2 (carbon dioxide equivalent).
This data is stored in a PostgreSQL database containing one table, prouduct_emissions
, which looks at PCFs by product as well as the stage of production that these emissions occurred. Here's a snapshot of what product_emissions
contains in each column:
