The main aim of this project was to develop a life cycle methodology and decision-support tools for calculating and reducing the carbon footprints of different industrial sectors along complete supply chains.

The main deliverables of the project were:
  • A general life cycle methodology and decision-support tools for:

    • Calculating environmental and economic impacts of life-cycle carbon inventories, including 'carbon added' and 'value added' along the whole supply chains

    • Optimising environmental and economic objectives to identify a range of optimum low-carbon options

  • A standard data acquisition methodology and databases for use in carbon inventory calculations

  • A software package for calculating carbon inventories for different supply chains

  • Case studies to examine different business, political and economic scenarios for carbon management and reduction, and estimate the environmental and economic implications of low-carbon materials, products, processes and services.
