Analysis of three French chemistry labs shows how they could halve their carbon footprint by 2030

An analysis of three French chemistry laboratories shows that in 2019 their primary sources of carbon emissions were purchases and heating, specifically due to heavy equipment, consumables and fume hoods. The team behind the analysis has probed the data to show how a series of carbon mitigation strategies could reduce the laboratories’ carbon footprints by 40–55% by 2030.
