The gates along the food chain

Each gate holds everything before it, plus one more stage. Pick the gate where your own accounting starts.

Cumulative kgCO₂e per unit at each gate. The axis starts at 4.98 so the later steps show.

Earlier stagesDisposal

Never add the gates togetherEach gate already contains the ones before it. Adding both gives 10.1, about twice the real footprint. Use one gate, or add the stages.

What this number covers

About this factor

From Syke

"Tyypillinen päästökerroin perustuu pohjoismaiseen raporttiin ""Recommendations for a Common Nordic Approach to Combat New Buildings Life Cycle Climate Impact (17-06-2024)"". Tämä kerroin sisältää taimien tuotannon taimitarhassa, mukaan lukien kasvihuonekaasukammiossa kasvatetut taimet, lannoitteiden (esim. kalkki, turve, ammonium, kalium, fosfori) käytön sekä polypropeeniruukun taimille. Toimintaan tarvittava sähkö ja lämpö sisältyvät arvoon. Istutusalustan ja maan valmistelu sekä itse istutus eivät sisälly arvoon. On tärkeää huomata, että tyypillinen arvo ei ota huomioon kasvillisuuden hiilinieluvaikutusta tai hiilivarastoa, mikä vaikuttaa merkittävästi niiden ilmastovaikutukseen kokonaisuutena. Rakennusalueilta poistettujen tai jäljelle jääneiden puiden hiilinieluvaikutusta ei ole sisällytetty."
