In accordance with international requirements and Federal Law No. 296-FZ "On the Limitation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions", the need to account for carbon units in the first place of industrial enterprises and their products, as well as the regulation of the circulation and accounting of carbon units, has been identified, which requires an accurate quantitative assessment of emissions greenhouse gases. The purpose of the work is to develop a report form for assessing the carbon footprint of products and enterprises. In this regard, the following tasks were performed: international and Russian standards, existing methods for calculating the carbon footprint, emission categories were studied; the main positions containing the carbon footprint separately for products and enterprises were determined, report forms were developed. The developed report forms were sent to the enterprises. After analyzing the data obtained, it is possible to conduct an energy resource audit of the enterprise in order to organize measures to improve energy efficiency and identify opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint.
