Narrower range (3.63–4.88) reflects more consistent throughput; overall increase driven by underutilisation
Scope contribution by year — gas remains dominant at 56–57%
Per-unit carbon intensity by emission scope
| Emission Source | 2024 (kg CO₂/pc) | 2025 (kg CO₂/pc) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Gas — Scope 1 | 1.98 | 2.26 | +14% |
| Electricity — Scope 2 | 0.91 | 1.07 | +19% |
| Inbound Freight — Scope 3, Cat 4 | 0.65 | 0.65 | −1% |
| Total Carbon Intensity | 3.54 | 3.98 | +12% |
Strategic observations from the carbon intensity analysis
Gas accounts for 56–57% of per-piece emissions and is dedicated entirely to vulcanisation. Any process efficiency gain — hybrid heating, improved insulation, optimisation — maps directly to carbon reduction with no allocation ambiguity.
Turkey's grid emission factor has declined from 0.44 to 0.375 kg CO₂e/kWh (2020–2024) and is projected to reach 0.33–0.35 by 2028. Scope 2 improves automatically; on-site solar installation would accelerate this further.
The +12% intensity increase reflects underutilisation, not efficiency loss. At full two-shift capacity, modelling projects approximately 2.0–2.5 kg CO₂/piece — a 37–45% reduction from current levels.
Per-piece carbon accounting positions OESP to provide verifiable product-level emissions data to European customers under CBAM transitional reporting, using internationally recognised emission factors and GHG Protocol methodology.
Recycled vulcanisation water provides building space heating, eliminating a separate comfort-heating gas line. Reported gas intensity is purely process-related — a clean metric with no seasonal dilution.
Emissions calculated using the activity-data method per GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Monthly per-piece intensity = (Energy kWh × Emission Factor) ÷ Monthly vulcanised output (accepted + scrap + rework).
