Carbon footprint calculation method for petroleum products in Vietnam
Abstract
The Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) has developed and approved an action plan to mitigate and adapt to climate change for the 2018 - 2030 period. Goals, tasks and actions are set to respond to climate change. Petrovietnam targets the greenhouse gas emission reduction of 15.55 million tons of CO2 equivalent by 2025 and 23.53 million tons of CO2 equivalent by 2030. This research aims to support Petrovietnam in developing a method to calculate carbon footprints for a number of oil and gas products according to international standards, thereby providing solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
