A rising awareness of sustainability among the population and rising energy costs are leading companies to increasingly focus on the goal of climate neutrality. Improving the material and energy efficiency of companies is a key step in this process. This is where the joint project Climate bOWL comes in. The aim of the project is to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions to minimize negative environmental impacts and save costs. In this context, the entire product life cycle is considered, from production to product use and recycling. The sequence of avoidance measures to achieve climate neutrality is minimization, substitution and compensation. Consequently, a holistic approach is required to aggregate and evaluate greenhouse gas emissions and to identify and prioritize reduction measures along the entire value chain. The “Climate bOWL” project therefore addresses two key areas: The first sub-goal for creating transparency and benchmarking is the development of a product-specific carbon footprint tracking system. This should provide information on emissions along the product life cycle and identify target values for product design. The second sub-goal is the development and application of an intelligent assistance system that uses energy and material flow data to automatically allocate greenhouse gas emissions to their sources, derive efficiency potential and suggest specific optimization measures. The aim is to support companies in minimizing their greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate neutrality.
