02 Jul

Anhui Huayu Cable Group Co., Ltd., a leader in China’s wire and cable industry, has published its independently verified 2024 products Carbon Footprint (PCF) Report. This landmark report provides unprecedented transparency into the environmental impact of its core products, highlighting a key emission figure of 0.04 tons CO₂ equivalent per kilometer (tCO₂e/km).

Key Findings & Highlights

⦁ Core Metric: Production carbon footprint of 0.04 tCO₂e/km for its cable products.
⦁ Total Production: Based on 2024 output of 170,000 kilometers of cable.
⦁ Major Emission Source: Product Transportation (delivery to customers) identified as the single largest contributor to the overall carbon footprint.
⦁ Secondary Hotspot: Raw Material Transportation (from suppliers to Huayu) is the second largest emission source.
⦁ Baseline Established: The report sets a crucial benchmark for measuring future decarbonization progress.
⦁ Independent Verification: Conducted by ZhongRenLianHe Certification Co., Ltd., ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance with standards.

Rigorous Methodology & International Standards

⦁ Life Cycle Boundary (Cradle-to-Grave):
Raw material production → Transportation → Manufacturing → Customer delivery → Use phase → End-of-life recycling.
⦁ Data Sources:
Primary data from Huayu Cable’s 2024 operations.
Secondary data from CLCD (China), Ecoinvent (Switzerland), ELCD (Europe), and IPCC EFDB.

Priority Areas for Emission Reduction
