This marks a significant milestone in the global effort to standardise carbon footprint calculations for lubricants, fluids, and greases, reinforcing the methodology’s credibility and trustworthiness across the industry.</p> <p>First published in September 2023 and developed in collaboration with external advisors and Carbon Minds, the ATIEL and UEIL methodology provides a harmonised approach to calculating Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) across the lubricants, greases and specialities sectors. Now, with TÜV Rheinland’s certification, companies can further validate their PCF calculations through third-party certification, driving consistency and transparency across value chains.

Scope of the review was to check if the methodology meets the general requirements of the international standard ISO 14067: 2018 and GHG Protocol Product Standard. UEIL/ATIEL and Carbon Minds GmbH are responsible for the content and methodology. In accordance with the standard ISO 14067: 2018 and the GHG Protocol Product Standard, the reviewer concludes that the PCF methodology framework developed by Carbon Minds GmbH and UEIL/ATIEL is scientifically based and reflects the state of the art. The approach and principles behind the methodology are generally appropriate for the assessment of potential Climate Change of lubricants and other specialities. Furthermore, the data planned to be used are appropriate for the goal and scope of the method. Necessary recommendations for the documentation were discussed and implemented by Carbon Minds GmbH. For the future, TÜV Rheinland recommends to continually enhance the PCF methodology in line with the developments in science, technology, and chemical industry and to adapt the methodology documents accordingly.”</em></p> <div class="wp-block-file"><a id="wp-block-file--media-63b1528e-3913-4be4-8928-1b96c6def02c" href="https://www.ueil.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/UEIL_ATIEL_PCF-Methodology_Rev-1.pdf">UEIL_ATIEL_PCF-Methodology_Rev-1</a><a href="https://www.ueil.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/UEIL_ATIEL_PCF-Methodology_Rev-1.pdf" class="wp-block-file__button wp-element-button" download aria-describedby="wp-block-file--media-63b1528e-3913-4be4-8928-1b96c6def02c">Download</a></div> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js" data-initially-open="false" data-click-to-close="true" data-auto-close="true" data-scroll="false" data-scroll-offset="0"><h2 id="at-58713" class="c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller" role="button">Webinar: Validated Methodology for Product Carbon Footprint Calculations for Lubricants and other Specialities<br></h2><div id="ac-58713" class="c-accordion__content"> <p>In November 2023 UEIL and ATIEL together published a comprehensive cradle to gate methodology for the calculation of <a href="https://www.ueil.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/UEIL_ATIEL_PCF-Methodology_Rev-1.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for lubricants and other specialities</a>, to allow industry actors to analyse carbon emissions associated with their products, aiding in emission reduction efforts. </p> <p>The methodology has been independently validated by TÜV Rheinland Energy GmbH; <em>“In accordance with the standard ISO 14067: 2018 and the GHG Protocol Product Standard, the reviewer concludes that the PCF methodology framework developed by Carbon Minds GmbH and UEIL/ATIEL is scientifically based and reflects the state of the art”, </em>the first time such a validation has been assigned to any PCF methodology in the global lubricants industry. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="UEIL Webinar: Validated Methodology for PCF Calculations for Lubricants and other Specialities" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_w5USFRqjLU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer;
