The optimization process and limits were analyzed based on the CFOOD project co-financed by the Polish Research and Development Agency. In the article, the carbon footprint (CF) testing methods with particular emphasis on product life cycle assessment (LCA) are discussed. The main problem is that the energy received from the energy-meters per the production stage is not directly represented in the raw data set obtained from the factory because many production line machines are connected to a single measurement point. In the paper, we show that in some energy-demanding production stages connected with cooling processes the energy used for the same stage and similar production can differ even 25-40%. That is why the energy optimization in the production can be very demanding.}, type={Article}, title={The Carbon Footprint Methodology in CFOOD Project}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/117136/PDF/105_2735_Stawska_skl_new.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ijet.2020.134041}, keywords={carbon footprint, greenhouse gas emission, LCA method, sustainable development, Prolog}, }
