Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for a graphical user interface that presents a quantification of CO2 emissions in a manufacturing process. A selection of a material is received, and the selection is displayed in a graphic user interface. Amounts of material and energy consumed in a manufacturing process are calculated. A chemical composition of the material is decomposed into a set of constituent elements. A first quantity of CO2 emissions is estimated based on the amount of material consumed and a first CO2 emission factor based on a proportional composition of the set of constituent elements in the chemical composition. A second quantity of CO2 emissions is estimated based on the amount of energy consumed and a second CO2 emission factor based on an energy source used in the manufacturing process. Total CO2 emissions, based on both the first and second quantities, are then displayed in the graphic user interface.
