sci.lifecycle-carbon-footprint Calculator
Calculates total lifecycle carbon footprint of a product from cradle to grave: raw materials, manufacturing, transport, use, and disposal. Electric vehicle lifecycle emissions (80–120 g CO₂/km) are 2–3× lower than combustion vehicles on average European grid electricity.
Inputs
Manufacturing Kg Co2
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Use Phase Kwh Year
Capacity to do work (J or kWh). Conserved — converts between forms but total stays constant in a closed system.
Product Lifespan Years
Distance between supports (m). Longer spans experience larger bending moments — structural adequacy must be rechecked.
Grid Factor Kg Co2 Kwh
A multiplier applied in the calculation.
End Of Life Kg Co2
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
total lifecycle GHG (kg CO₂e)
The combined total across all inputs and components.
annual average (kg CO₂e/yr)
The arithmetic mean -- sum divided by count.
manufacturing phase
The current phase of the cycle or process.
use phase total
The combined total across all inputs and components.
end-of-life
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
EU grid factor
A dimensionless multiplier applied in the calculation.
