New Guide for Carbon Accounting, Emissions Reduction, and Carbon Footprint Measurement in the Lubricant Manufacturing Industry

With sustainability an important consideration for every business, this guide summarizes the attributes of several available templates for calculating Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions that can be useful for lubricant manufacturers and the investment costs and potential benefits from using each template.Keywords

Many lubricant manufacturers, including those independent lubricant manufacturers not associated or affiliated with major oil companies who engage in exploration and refining of lubricant base stocks, are looking for calculating templates available to help them establish a base line for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and, to the extent calculable, Scope 3 emissions. This guide will inform such lubricant manufacturers who choose to explore such emissions to which they contribute directly and indirectly as to the calculating templates particularly useful to them and identify the costs and potential benefits from using each to provide both a base line and then enable setting of goals to reduce emissions.
