LebenszyklusCO2Ausstoß

LebenszyklusCO2Ausstoß refers to the carbon dioxide emissions that occur throughout the entire lifecycle of a product, service, or system. This concept involves assessing the greenhouse gas emissions that result from the extraction and processing of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life disposal or recycling of a product.

The LebenszyklusCO2Ausstoß approach encompasses various stages, including:

1. Production: this stage accounts for emissions generated during the extraction, processing, and transportation of raw materials.

2. Manufacturing: emissions released during the production process, such as energy consumption and chemical transformations.

3. Use: emissions resulting from the product's operation, such as those released by engines, heating systems, or electricity consumption.

4. End-of-life: emissions generated during the recycling, disposal, or incineration of the product.

Calculating LebenszyklusCO2Ausstoß requires a comprehensive understanding of the material and energy flows involved in the product or service lifecycle. It involves gathering data on production processes, energy consumption, material usage, and waste management.

This approach is useful for evaluating the environmental impacts of different products, identifying areas for improvement, and making more informed decisions. By considering the entire lifecycle emissions, companies can develop more sustainable products, services, and supply chains. The LebenszyklusCO2Ausstoß method provides a framework for costing carbon and tracking emissions, enabling targeted interventions to mitigate climate change impacts.
