<p>Sapa Heat Transfer is a company that produces aluminum heat-exchanger strips for the automotive industry. Sapa Heat Transfer wish to chart their emissions of carbon dioxide in order to meet future demands on carbon dioxide reporting. They also would like to examine the meaning of the term “green electricity” which is marketed as carbon dioxide free, and the sort of electricity that they purchase. This report includes both direct (liquefied petroleum gas and diesel) and indirect (water, process-water, long distance heating, waste) emissions from their company. The conclusion of this report is that liquefied petroleum is the biggest contributor to the emissions of carbon dioxide and that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the processes is almost twice the amount of aluminum product, or 1,77 to be precise. The green electricity emits small amounts of carbon dioxide per kWh produced when analyzed in a lifecycle perspective which is also presented in this report.</p>
