<strong>Carbon</strong> Footprint <strong>of</strong> Composting<br />
<strong>Carbon</strong> footprint = emissions from:<br />
Process <strong>of</strong> composting [mass <strong>of</strong> material composted x<br />
composting emission factors];<br />
Upstream extraction and consumption <strong>of</strong> the energy inputs into<br />
the operation [quantities <strong>of</strong> fuel used x respective emission<br />
factors]; and<br />
Landfilling <strong>of</strong> residuals from process [mass <strong>of</strong> residuals x L o ].<br />
Differences between above and emissions from a<br />
baseline [landfilling <strong>of</strong> materials composted] are the<br />
emission reductions [<strong>of</strong>fsets] from the operation.<br />
