GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION

TYPES

CALCULATION

The inventory taken includes the GHG mentioned in the IPCC 2007 fourth assessment report, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, fluorinated ether, perfluoropolyether, hydrovarbon and other substances that are controlled and monitored by the Montreal Protocol.
Activity Data
The calculation of GHG emission of this assessment is done by proceeding the quantification in accordance with the method of emission inventory; the assessment estimates the impact based on the carbon emissions within a hundred year after the product is formed, the calculation is as follows:

GHG Emissions = Activity Data x Emissions Factors x GWP value (IPCC 2007)
Emission Factor
There are two types of data namely Primary Activity Data and Secondary Data; the primary activity data is the emission figure obtained by multiplying the measure taken from the life-cycle of a product by the emission factor; the secondary data is the figure obtained outside of the product life-cycle, which, according to PAS 2050:2011, is applicable when primary activity data is unable to obtain or impracticable.
Global Warming Potential (GWP)
An emission factor is a representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant, in this case carbon dioxide, released to the atmosphere with an activity associated.

ACEGrid®

ACEGrid® is made of high strength PET yarns with a protective coating of PVC, which provides a good resistance to UV radiation, corrosion, acid and alkali. It is a flexible material that can be easily installed, and is more cost-efficient comparing with the traditional reinforced concrete structure; its stable and durable quality makes it a popular material in the world-wide geotechnical field. Reinforcing the earth with ACEGrid® can improve its tensile strength, resistance to shearing force and erosion, and the overall stability. The reinforced earth wall can nurture vegetation on the surface for a natural esthetic appearance, which also provides a habitat for some living organisms.

 

System Boundary

According to PAS 2050:2008 the assessment of the life-cycle GHG emissions of products, the system boundary can either be B2B (Business to Business) or B2C (Business to Consumer). Since the target geogrid is a material for engineering application and is provided to engineering/construction firms, it is conformed to the boundary of B2B.
 

Functional Unit

The functional unit of the assessment is measured by per square meter.

How to Adopt “Green” Engineering Methods Using Geosynthetics?

Applying with high efficiency and low energy-consumption construction method:

Generally, the applications of geosynthetics are advantageous for simplifying construction process and reducing construction time. As a result, energy consumed by construction vehicles can be reduced.

Diminishing waste:

One characteristic of geosynthetic application is the usage of in-situ materials. For instance, we can fill local sand into geotubes to compose marine structures, or use local soil combined with geogrids to build retaining walls. In the light of exploiting in-situ materials, the volume of waste soil and transportation of soil can be minimized. As a result, polluted air and energy consumption caused by transportation could be reduced.
