Calculation of the GHG emissions of a European research project on electrified vehicles

Carbon assessment is beginning to be widely used in research. It is used to quantify the amount of Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of an activity and even tend to be part of the indicators that serve to evaluate labs. Databases and tools are available. Methods as well but they have to be adapted to each case, depending on the activities of the organization or company to be studied and the way people in charge want to build their assessment. This article aims at proposing a method for the assessment of GHG emissions of research projects. Being organized around the different activities within a research project, this method takes into account all aspects of the project. It allows a good picture and analysis of GHG emissions linked to a project.
