對於全球暖化及其對氣候變化的影響，人們的意識日益增強。減少溫室氣體的排放已被確定為緩解全球暖化的關鍵。草本保健品產業正在快速發展，並與農業密切相關。氣候變化可能對草本保健品產業產生嚴重影響。
本論文對一家植物萃取物廠進行了全面的個案分析，以量化其溫室氣體排放和能源使用。本研究的主要目標是評估該組織營運活動的環境影響和能源使用的分配。研究過程遵循系統性的方法，包括數據收集、計算和分析。
我們首先在本研究搜尋了評估環境影響領域常用的專有名詞。從組織的記錄中收集了相關的能源使用和排放數據。然後將收集的數據轉換為二氧化碳當量，以進行有意義的分析和比較。
本研究含蓋了兩個主要類別的計算，以促進全面分析。第一個類別是量化溫室氣體排放，應用排放因子和使用量，來計算天然氣和汽油等來源的碳排放量。第二個類別則執行能源使用分析，依據使用時數和設備噸數來計算各部門的能源使用。
研究結果顯示，生產部門佔溫室氣體排放的最大比例，佔總量的79%。其次是實驗室部門，佔18%，行政部門的用量最少，只有3%。本研究還對每個部門的設備能源使用進行了分析，提供了有價值的能源使用模式見解。
本研究有助於了解植物萃取物廠的環境影響和能源使用情況。研究結果可作為實施可持續措施、確定改進領域和支持類似行業減少溫室氣體排放和提高能源效率的決策過程的基礎。

There has been tremendous awareness regarding global warming and its effects on climate change. It has been determined that greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction is the key to mitigating global warming. The herbal supplements industry is experiencing rapid growth and is closely tied to agriculture. Climate change can have significant impacts on the herbal supplements industry.
This thesis presents a comprehensive case study conducted on a herbal extracts manufacturer to quantify its greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. The primary objective of this study was to assess the environmental impacts and energy usage patterns of the organization's operations. The research process followed a systematic approach, including data collection, calculations, and analysis.
The study began by familiarizing ourselves with the terminology commonly used in the field of environmental impact assessment. Relevant data, including energy usage and emissions, were collected from the organization's records. The collected data were then converted into carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) to enable meaningful analysis and comparison.
Two main categories of calculations were performed to facilitate comprehensive analysis. The first involved quantifying the GHG emissions, which required applying emission factors and usage information to calculate emissions from sources such as natural gas and gasoline. The second category focused on analyzing energy consumption, where energy usage data and equipment specifications were used to estimate electricity consumption by different departments.
The findings revealed that the production department accounted for the largest share of GHG emissions, contributing 79% of the total. The laboratory department followed, contributing 18%, while the administrative department had a smaller share of 3%. Energy consumption by equipment within each department was also analyzed, providing valuable insights into energy usage patterns.
This study contributes to the understanding of the environmental impacts and energy consumption by a herbal extracts manufacturer. The findings can serve as a foundation for implementing sustainability measures, identifying areas for improvement, and informing decision-making processes to reduce GHG emissions and enhance energy efficiency in similar industries.
