FEATURES

This is how the PCF calculation works with Global Changer

Already with just a few data points, our AI calculates a PCF within 30-60 seconds. Do you want to test it yourself? We will calculate two products from your portfolio for free with our AI and show you live how structured Product Carbon Footprints are created from your data.

Analyze product data

The AI analyzes information such as URLs, product descriptions, or Bill of Materials (BOM) and identifies materials, processes, and transports.

Match emissions factors

Our AI matches materials and processes to appropriate emission factors from integrated databases and supplements missing information in a comprehensible way.

Calculate PCFs according to ISO

The PCF module is based on established LCA standards, and the calculation is carried out along defined system boundaries in accordance with ISO 14067 as well as ISO 14040/44.

Review and adjust results transparently

All assignments remain visible and are rated with confidence scores. AI-based assumptions can be reviewed at any time and replaced with your own primary data.

Identify emission hotspots

The results show which materials, processes, or transport dominate the emissions of a product. In the future, variants can be compared and scenarios modeled.

Scale for large portfolios

Global Changer enables the automated calculation of PCFs for tens of thousands of products and variants. A single PCF can be generated in 30-60 seconds.

What is a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)?

Icon Here

A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculates the greenhouse gas emissions of an individual product along defined system boundaries, such as from raw material extraction to the factory gate (Cradle-to-Gate). Methodologically, the PCF is based on standards such as ISO 14067 and the LCA fundamentals ISO 14040/44. It makes emission drivers transparent and creates a solid foundation for product decisions, customer requirements, and reporting.
