Under the trend that product carbon footprint calculation is increasingly required, product carbon disclosure has become an important measure for green product marketing. In this project, we carry out questionnaire survey and symposium of experts of industries, counseling units, academic and research institutions for collecting opinions on carbon footprint calculation. And, all of the collected and compiled information will be the base for developing the carbon footprint calculation service platform. The official database is also developed in order to simplify data acquirement process and assist Taiwan industries effectively respond relevant and emerging CFP tasks. Hence, the measures such as energy balance sheets of industry, international database, industry process, industrial chain diagram and industry yearbook are all adopted to help us to select and list 600 sets of carbon footprint emission factors from all the industries. This year, we select 50 sets of data out of all the data to set up the carbon footprint emission factors. In addition, the life cycle data quality guideline and international cooperation are also established to ensure carbon footprint’s data quality on accuracy and completeness. The utilization and application of our official database is enhanced.
