Carbon footprint and life cycle analysis

CO2 emissions are the currency of the future. To achieve climate neutrality by 2050, a drastic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is essential in almost all sectors. However, this requires a comprehensive understanding of the actual CO2 footprint of individual processes in order to be able to introduce the right climate protection measures as effectively and efficiently as possible.

We are happy to help you with our well-founded life cycle analyses. Our standard software “E3Database”, which we have been using successfully for many years in numerous projects for our national and international customers, has a reliable and extensive database on individual processes in all energy and consumption sectors. This enables us to provide you with detailed analyses of complex interrelationships of greenhouse gas emissions, the use of energy and other resources.
