Kauçuk Endüstrisinde Karbon Ayak İzinin Belirlenmesi

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren ve yıllık üretimi ortalama 17.500 ton kauçuk ürün olan bir firmanın muhtemel karbon ayak izinin belirlenmesidir. Hesaplamalar “Entegre Kirlilik Önleme ve Kontrol Yaklaşımı” kapsamında IPCC’nin Tier-1 metodolojisine ait formül kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kauçuk sektörü ile ilgili verilere tesislerle gerçekleştirilen görüşmeler sonuç elde edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda yıllık toplam karbon ayak izi miktarı yaklaşık 55.000.000 kg CO2e olarak tahmin edilmiştir. Karbon ayak izi olarak en yüksek miktar ve dolayısıyla oran, kullanılan ham madde kaynaklı karbon emisyonuna (»%77) aittir. Bu sebeple Kapsam 3 emisyonlarının bu sektör için en büyük miktarı oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir. Satın alınan elektrik ile ilgili karbon emisyonu (»%12) ikinci sırada yer almaktadır. Son olarak kauçuk sektörü için farklı senaryo uygulamalarının denenerek karbon salınımının azaltma çalışmaları yapılabilir.

Determination of Carbon Footprint In Rubber Industry

The purpose of this study is to calculate the carbon footprint of companies with an average annual production of 17,500 tons of rubber products in Turkey. The calculations were carried out using the formula for the Tier 1 methodology of the under the "Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Approach". The interviews conducted with the facilities operating in this area were evaluated in reaching the data related to the rubber sector. As a result of the study, the total amount of carbon footprint per year was estimated to be approximately 55,000,000 kg CO2e. The highest amount of carbon footprint belongs to the raw material-derived carbon emissions (»77%) used. For this reason, it has been determined that Scope 3 emissions constitute the largest amount for this sector. Carbon emissions related to electricity purchased (»12%) are in second place. Finally, proposals have been made for the testing of different scenario implementations and reduction of carbon emissions for the rubber sector.
