Carbon Footprint of Manufacturing Processes: Conventional vs. Non-Conventional

The calculation of carbon emissions is important to determine the footprint and environmental impact manufacturing processes assess which steps could be further optimized make greener more sustainable. A previously published holistic approach was applied in conventional laser-based material removal most intensive one. were calculated results show that drilling than drilling, while reverse true for case grooving milling. This because cutting forces milling are higher due increased mechanical resistance from first case. In processes, energy consumption linked absorptivity remained same this study. Carbon on process level lowest contributing factor, with largest share being production rolling steel allocated at system level. determination will allow companies better design lines towards neutrality as dictated by Green Deal.
