Measurement and Calculation of Carbon Footprint and Carbon Reduction Research for Production of Screw-thread Steel Based on LCA(Life Cycle Assessment)
As the important steel of basic building components,screw-thread steel is widely used in such engineering constructions as buildings,bridges and roads.Its proportion of carbon emission is higher in building materials due to its large consumption so that the management and evaluation research of carbon footprint in its manufacturing process are par-ticularly important.In this article,the key direction for its carbon reduction is found out through analyzing operation and conversion of carbon flow in its production process.The data of carbon emission and carbon footprint of products is quanti-fied as well as all of potential influencing factors are calculated with the LCA method so as to identify and control key areas of carbon emission,which could provide guidance for Baotou Steel to establish measures and plans of carbon reduction as well as environmental product declarations(EPD)of screw-thread steel products are successfully released on the EPD platform.
