One industry standard: Bringing clarity to Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculations in refractories.

Feb 20, 2025
1 min read

The World Refractory Association (WRA) has developed a common framework for calculating cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) for refractory products. This technical guidance sets shared rules and minimum requirements, ensuring consistency, transparency, and comparability across the industry.

 

Why does it matter?Refractory products are critical to steel, automotive, wind turbines, glass, and cement production—industries at the heart of the global economy. By standardizing PCF calculations, we enable companies to measure and report emissions in a way that is credible, aligned, and actionable.

🔹 Global scope – applicable to refractory products worldwide

🔹 Covers CO2 & all Kyoto Protocol GHGs, reported as CO2e

🔹 Supports third-party verification for robust emissions reporting




🔹 Provides default GHG factors for raw materials when primary data is unavailable

🔹 Aligned with ISO 14067 for consistency with international standards

 

With growing regulatory and customer expectations, this initiative strengthens the industry’s ability to track, reduce, and communicate its environmental impact.

The core idea on this resource is that data, when used correctly, can be a direct driver of business growth. That is a relevant message for many organizations today. The description points to a platform that helps with both finding prospects and developing them into customers, which aligns well with modern sales and marketing needs. Worth considering if you're building out your tech stack.
