Carbon Footprint Calculation of Motorcycle Aluminum Alloy Wheels and its Influencing Factors
Basing on the study on the carbon emissions of motorcycle wheel hub factor ies in home,the calculation method on motorcycle carbon footprint under the condition of carbon constraint and its influencing factors are illustrated.From the investigation data for the production situation of a motorcycle aluminum-alloy wheel enterprise in 2022,the carbon footprint of 9 million aluminum-alloy wheels produced by these enterprise is 471,600 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,and the average carbon footprint of each wheel is 52.4 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent.The indirect carbon footprint of aluminum ingot was 408,300 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,accounting for 85.36of that the total carbon footprint.The indirect carbon footprint of electric power was 27,700 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,accounting for 5.87%of the total carbon footprint.Natural gas combustion directly emitted a carbon footprint of 35,600 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,accounting for 8.77%of the total carbon footprint.
