ISO 14067 Carbon Footprint of Renewable Energy Products Test
The ISO 14067 standard provides a framework for calculating and reporting the carbon footprint of products. This is particularly relevant in sectors like renewable energy, where understanding the environmental impact of new technologies is crucial for regulatory compliance and sustainable development.
At Eurolab, our team specializes in conducting ISO 14067-compliant tests to accurately measure the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with renewable energy products. Our process ensures that clients can confidently demonstrate their product’s environmental performance, supporting sustainability goals and enhancing market credibility.
Our testing approach includes a comprehensive scope that covers all stages of the product lifecycle: from raw material extraction through manufacturing, distribution, use, and end-of-life disposal or recycling. This holistic view allows us to provide an accurate carbon footprint measurement, which is essential for compliance with regulatory requirements such as the EU’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS).
The test involves detailed data collection on energy consumption, material sourcing, transportation, and other relevant factors. Our experts apply internationally recognized methodologies to ensure precision and reliability of results.
| Stage | Data Collected | Methodology Used |
|---|---|---|
| R&D Phase | Energy input, material specifications | ISO 14067:2018 |
| Manufacturing | Energy consumption, emissions factors | Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) |
| Distribution & Usage | Emissions from transportation, user behavior | Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) |
| End-of-Life | Recycling rates, emissions during disposal | ISO 14025:2019 |
The end result is a transparent and verifiable report that helps manufacturers meet stringent environmental standards. This not only aids in regulatory compliance but also enhances brand reputation by showcasing commitment to sustainability.
