Product carbon footprints (PCFs) are playing an increasing role in decisions around sustainability for companies and consumers. Using data reported to CDP, we have previously built a dataset of 866 PCFs, from 145 companies, 30 industry groups, and 28 countries, showing trends of how upstream and downstream emissions vary by industry and how life cycle assessment (LCA) appears to aid companies in achieving steeper carbon reductions through improvements throughout a product's value chain. Here, we present the greenhouse gas emissions and respective meta data for every product in this dataset. The Carbon Catalogue provides each product with name and description, PCF (in kg COe) and the respective LCA protocol/standard, product weight, as well as the name, industry, and country of incorporation of its manufacturer. For a subset of 421 products, the Carbon Catalogue further includes the PCF's reported breakdown into two to nine separate stages of the product's life cycle. For another subset of 250 products, the Carbon Catalogue includes how the respective PCFs changed and why the changes occurred.
产品碳足迹 (PCF) 在企业和消费者的可持续性决策中发挥着越来越重要的作用。我们曾使用 CDP 报告的数据，构建了一个包含 866 个 PCF 的数据集，这些 PCF 来自 145 家公司、30 个行业组和 28 个国家，展示了行业上下游排放的变化趋势，以及生命周期评估 (LCA) 如何通过在整个产品价值链中进行改进来帮助公司实现更陡峭的碳减排。在这里，我们为该数据集中的每个产品提供了温室气体排放及其相应的元数据。碳目录为每个产品提供了名称和描述、PCF（以 kg COe 为单位）和相应的 LCA 协议/标准、产品重量，以及制造商的名称、行业和所在国家/地区。对于 421 个产品的一个子集，碳目录进一步包括将 PCF 报告的细分为产品生命周期的两个到九个单独阶段。对于另一个 250 个产品的子集，碳目录包括了各自 PCF 的变化情况以及变化的原因。
