More and more industrial sites are interested in understanding their greenhouse gas (GHG)/carbon footprints. This presentation will focus on how to determine the carbon footprint of a heat treat process site. We will review the technical details of greenhouse gases involved in the heat treat process and how to use your electrical and natural gas invoices to help you determine your carbon footprint. Process gases for heat treat and fuels for site vehicles will also be considered and included. After this presentation you will have a good understanding of the relationship between energy and carbon/GHGs, and how to use your energy data to evaluate your carbon (GHG) footprint.

Thermal Processes Carbon Footprint is the first in a series of webinars IHEA is producing on Sustainability and Decarbonization. This webinar series will focus on carbon producing heating processes and provide methods to optimize the efficiency of these processes and thereby reduce the carbon emission intensity of these processes. Additionally, these webinars will cover the various scopes of carbon emissions and the methods to determine your site, or specific equipment, carbon footprint. The available DOE tools and other resources for reducing determining and reducing your carbon footprint will be presented. Overall, this webinar series will give the attendees an excellent overview of carbon emissions, how to determine them, and how to reduce them.
