Optimizing product carbon footprint with Tset’s advanced simulation
Learn how Tset’s solution enabled streamlined carbon footprint calculations for a key automotive supplier
What Tset helped achieve
CO₂ calculation structure
Established a comprehensive, bottom-up calculation for materials and processes
Enhanced transparency
Provided clearer carbon footprint insights compared to traditional methods
Supplier engagement
Enabled real-time emission data sharing with suppliers
Customer
Tier-1 supplier based in Central Europe, producing powertrain components (internal combustion, electric). The customer is present in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial.
Challenge
OEMs required detailed product carbon footprints for supplier nomination, forcing the client to commit to CO₂ targets early in the product development cycle. Previously, carbon footprints were calculated ad-hoc using Excel, leading to uncertainty and the need for a more reliable, scalable process.
Tset's Approach
Tset's approach involves establishing a bottom-up calculation structure for the bill of materials, encompassing all processes and materials with modular support from Tset’s Engine and master data. CO2 premises for key raw materials and energy sources are defined and applied. Scenario simulations are conducted to evaluate the cost impact of CO2 reduction measures, leading to a final scenario selection and submission of the OEM’s product carbon footprint breakdown.
