Absztrakt (kivonat)

In recent years the unprecedent raise in amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has attracted a lot concern to humanity; calling for government, companies and organizations to mitigate, control and regulate these emissions given that the present change in climate patterns and global warming is weighing heavily on present generation, and is even more threatening for the future generation. Researches have estimated that from 1900 to 2000, world GDP has multiplied 20 times (WRI, 2023). Following World War II the world has experienced drastically unprecedented growth in material wealth. This fast economic growth culminated in industrial mass production of goods in all sectors. The merging of foreign companies with Hungarian companies has revolutionized the Hungarian wood industry. The modern manufacturing facilities were availed and brought high technology and optimization of product quality and production effectiveness and efficiency. This industrial revolution certainly have contribution to the carbon emissions. This paper adopts Cradle-to-gate, Life Cycle Assessment model, to calculate and analyze carbon footprint of Hungarian wood industries in order to find out high emission products and process. The present study uses both its own data collected from three companies: OWI Zala, Waller Furnér and Zalafürész. and data from carbon footprint calculations conducted by the researchers at the University of Sopron (see sections 2.5.1 through 2.5.3) that were collected from three companies: FALCO Zrt, MOFA-Hungary Kft and Swiss Krono Kft, After the calculating and analyzing the carbon footprint, this study generally finds out that • All the companies have much higher carbon storage than carbon emission there is no unit that has over 2000 tCO2eq and whereas the carbon storage is above -4000 tCO2eq • The use of certified wood raw materials affects highly the companies’ overall emissions. when the wood raw materials are supplied by uncertified source the overall carbon emission turns into positive. • The common high emission unit in all six wood industries is the “other materials”. These are the secondary raw materials such as nails, laminating materials and glues etc.
