This study provides a preliminary carbon footprint and GHG assessment of a Nigerian carbonated soft drinks plant, focusing on electricity consumption over six months. Following the GHG Protocol, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were analyzed. Total GWP was 21,224,780 kgCO2eq with carbon intensity of 1.75 kgCO2eq/kWh; diesel, LNG, and grid electricity contributed 37%, 61%, and 2% respectively. Hybrid solar PV showed no significant emission impact. Findings establish a baseline for the Nigerian soft drinks sector and offer insights for green manufacturing transition.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
ナイジェリアの飲料産業の排出実態を示す事例研究であり、日本企業が新興国でのサプライチェーン排出削減を検討する際の参考となる。ただし、日本国内のGX政策（SSBJや有報）への直接的な関連性は低い。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a baseline for carbon emissions in Nigeria's soft drinks sector, relevant for global supply chain decarbonization and Scope 3 accounting for multinational corporations. It demonstrates application of the GHG Protocol in an emerging economy context, offering lessons for similar assessments in other developing countries.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a case study of GHG accounting in a Nigerian manufacturing plant, useful for comparative research on carbon intensity in developing countries.
🏢実務担当者:Offers actionable insights for beverage companies in Nigeria to identify emission hotspots (LNG and diesel) and consider renewable energy transitions.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for policy support to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in Nigeria's industrial sector, particularly for grid electricity and LNG.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The soft drinks market in Nigeria is growing rapidly with projections indicating a 19.64% increase between 2024 and 2028, resulting in a market volume of US$96.72 billion in 2028. However, this expansion comes with rising greenhouse gas emissions and energy demands, particularly due to the energy-intensive production processes like sugar dissolution, heating, cooling, bottling and packaging associated with carbonated soft drinks. The study presents a preliminary carbon footprint and greenhouse gas assessment of a Nigerian carbonated soft drinks plant, with a focus on electricity consumption over a six-month period. The analysis was conducted following the Greenhouse Gas Protocol; considering Scope 1 (direct fuel use) emission and Scope 2 (purchased electricity) emissions. Results show that, the overall Global Warming Potential produced stood at 21224780 kgCO2eq at carbon intensity of 1.75 kgCO2eq/kwh. The Automotive Gas Oil (diesel), Liquefied Natural Gas, and Grid electricity contributed 37%, 61%, and 2% respectively to the plant’s Global Warming Potential; with no significant Greenhouse Gas emissions impact recorded in the hybrid photovoltaic solar source. These findings not only establish a baseline for carbon emissions within the Nigerian carbonated soft drinks sector, but also provide actionable insights for transitioning to green manufacturing.
