JSDA Standard for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Related to Steel Drums
1. Outline
1.1 Establishment
This standard was developed to standardize among industry peers the calculation
method of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions from the manufacture of 200L steel
drums based on the emissions calculation guidelines of the Green Value Chain
Platform,*1 an information platform operated by the Ministry of the Environment
and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Developed by a working groupformed by the Japan Steel Drum Association (JSDA), this standard was drafted in
March 2024 and approved and established by the Technical Committee in the samemonth.
*1 https://www.env.go.jp/earth/ondanka/supply_chain/gvc/index.html

1.2 Scope of Application
1) Target drums
This standard applies to 200L tight head steel drums and 200L open head steel
drums.
2) Calculation items
Supply chain calculations shall be made for each of the following categories.
(i) Scope 1
Greenhouse gases directly emitted by the company of interest (city gas,kerosene, diesel oil, etc.)(ii) Scope 2
Greenhouse gases indirectly emitted by the company of interest (electricity,
steam, etc.)(iii) Scope 3
Major greenhouse gases emitted after purchasing raw materials and selling
products (bung caps, steel, and paint)12. Calculation Method
2.1 Reference Databases
For calculation, download the latest list of data for each category from thefollowing websites.

Emissions Intensity Database for Calculating an Organization’s Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Throughout its Supply Chain
2.2 Emission Factors
1) Scope 1
For fuels other than city gas, select a value for each fuel type used from the List of
Calculation Methods and Emission Factors for Calculation, Reporting, andPublication Systems described in 2.1. Values for city gas shall be determined byreferring to the website of each gas utility.
2) Scope 2
For electricity use, select a value from the contract menu of the relevant electricutility from the List of Emission Factors for Specific Electric Utilities described in
2.1. Normally, select the value of “Menu X (residual).” For industrial steam, use avalue for industrial steam in the List of Calculation Methods and Emission Factors
for Calculation, Reporting, and Publication Systems.
3) Scope 3
Use the following emission factors to calculate emissions for bung caps, steel
plates, and paint as main supply chain items.
(i) Bung cap: 0.00059 t-CO2/set(Calculated by the bung cap
manufacturer)2

(ii) Steel plate: 2.13 t-CO2/t(iii) Paint: 2.30 t-CO2/t

* Quoted from “[5] Industry-related table-based emissions intensity” in the
Emissions Intensity Database for Calculating an Organization’s Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Throughout its Supply Chain (Ver. 3.3, Excel, 6.72 MB) described in 2.1(No. 165 cold-finished steel for steel plates, and No. 129 paint for paint).
2.3 Calculation
The annual CO2 emissions are calculated by multiplying the emission factor
obtained in 2.2 by the annual usage for each item and adding the products up(Annex 1).
