Calculate a products carbon footprint with this software

| By Chemical Engineering

Carbon footprint studies have received considerable attention, both from consumer goods manufacturers as well as from commodities producers. Having developed the life-cycle-assessment (LCA) software Umberto for more than 15 years, this company decided to launch a dedicated version exclusively for carbon footprint calculations. Umberto for Carbon Footprint offers all the functionality needed, such as graphical modeling of the product life cycle, a library with more than 4,000 raw materials and components wit their carbon-dioxide equivalents, breakdown of carbon footprint by contribution from each life cycle phase, and Sankey diagram display of flow quantities.
