Frequently asked questions
Regulation, terminology and details about our tool – find the answers to your questions here.
What is the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)?
The PCF comprises the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by a product in the various phases of its life cycle. We calculate the product carbon footprint according to the cradle-to-gate approach.
Is the software certified according to a standard?
The software is certified standards-compliant according to DIN EN ISO 14067 and GHG protocol. The calculation of transport emissions is based on the GLEC framework.
Can I download a PCF-report?
Yes, to communicate your carbon footprint, you can either download a concise one-page summary report or a detailed final report at the click of a button.
Where do the emission factors in the PCF solution come from?
At greenable, we work with a number of high-quality databases to determine your PCF as accurately as possible. These include ecoinvent, the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control, DEFRA and the Federal Environment Agency. With this data, our software can determine the carbon footprint across the entire value chain and help you to implement measures to reduce your footprint.
Can I use my own emission factors or values from my suppliers in the software?
Yes, you can use self-researched emission data, secondary data from our databases (including ecoinvent), or PCF values from your suppliers in our tool. Supplier PCF certificates can also be uploaded in full. This data can be incorporated when determining a Product’s Carbon Footprint across its entire lifecycle and thus flow into a company’s carbon accounting to calculate its carbon footprint.
Why do companies calculate the greenhouse gas footprint of their products?
The introduction of the sustainability reporting (CSRD) and the new ecodesign regulation (ESPR) are making PCF calculations mandatory. In addition, OEMs are driving requirements through supply chains creating additional pressure. Early adopters can establish themselves as sustainability pioneers while building expertise and systematically reducing emissions over the entire product life cycle.
What standards are there for product carbon footprint accounting?
Product Carbon Footprint calculations follow established international standards. The main standard, “Greenhouse gases – carbon footprints of products,” evolved from lifecycle assessment methodology.
Two other important frameworks are the “Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard” of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) and the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2050 specification.
The calculation in our software is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol.
How are disposal and recycling in production considered in the calculation?
In addition to the main output, production processes often generate other outputs that cause emissions, depending on the raw material. These are, for example, metal shavings or cutting waste. This type of output can be declared as either waste or a by-product. Depending on the declaration, the waste is then disposed of or recycled accordingly.
