A website calculator to benchmark the carbon footprint of haemodialysis
Using available technology, HD-related GHG emission was reduced by 9% in the short range. Higher future reductions to meet the targets of a 50% reduction by 2030 and 'net zero' by 2045 might necessitate enhancing prevention and transplantation efforts, technological innovation, support chain adaptations and structural changes like increased use of peritoneal dialysis.
