production and inclusion of crops used in aquafeeds (see Gracey et al. 2012 for further details on such improvements).
Carbon Sequestration Land of Production from CO2 emissions Analogous to Equation 1, the formula for the carbon Ecological Footprint (EFco2) is
EFco2 =
PC ⋅ ( 1 − SOcean ) * EQF YC
(Equation 14)
where PC is the annual anthropogenic emissions (production) of carbon dioxide, SOcean is the fraction of anthropogenic emissions sequestered by oceans in a given year and YC is the annual rate of carbon uptake per hectare of world average forest land. SFA workbook location: fossil_efp (column titled ‘EFP’) Embodied Carbon Footprint In the NFA embodied carbon emissions in traded goods are calculated by multiplying estimated embodied emissions by the world average carbon intensity of electricity and heat production. The embodied energy figure for each product category represents the sum of all energy use for production of a good up to the point at which it is traded. → The emissions embodied in products exported from California were taken from the US average carbon intensity (from the USA National Footprint Account for 2008). The corresponding carbon Footprint was determined by using the global data on embodied energies and using a correspondence table to aggregate Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) to Standard Classification of Transported Goods (SCTG) codes (weighted by production at the US level). This was then multiplied by the various constants to get it in terms of gha (i.e. energy to tonnes of carbon dioxide per year to gha).
