Calculate emissions from milling, drilling, turning, cutting of materials

Question

Could you show me the formula to calculate carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption from metallurgical processes e.g. milling, turning, cutting, CNC machining of metals as a function of working conditions, working hours, number of tools?

Thanks,

Kiaterina

Hello Kiaterina! There is no specific formula in openLCA for what you are asking. I suppose you are rather new to openLCA and you may want to check out some of our free training materials? ... they are available via http://www.openlca.org/learning/ and help you to get started with openLCA and to build your first LCA models. I always recommend the PET bottle example for beginners: http://www.openlca.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1.5-Basic-Modelling.pdf
