Calculating and Analysing Product Carbon Footprints Automatically

TELUSIO is a central platform for the automated calculation, analysis and visualisation of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) – developed for companies that want to implement sustainability based on data. The PCF software provides detailed insights at product level, displays emission data dynamically and delivers certified reports at the push of a button – a complete solution for CO2 transparency of the kind that will also become mandatory for the requirements of the digital product passport, among others.

By providing emission data in a structured and standard-compliant way, TELUSIO enables companies to build the necessary evidence today so that they can continue to operate on the European market with legal certainty in future.

Dynamic emissions overview for every product

At the heart of the PCF software is the dynamic CO2 emissions analysis per product, product variant and production step. Information on the purchased and manufactured parts contained, as well as on the production steps, is listed separately – including the CO2 values caused.

Users can immediately see where the biggest emission sources lie: whether in the material used, logistics or a specific purchased part.

Especially in mechanical engineering, where complex assemblies and long supply chains are part of everyday life, this level of detail is crucial. Often a seemingly small purchased part causes the majority of emissions – potential that can be identified and addressed in a targeted way with TELUSIO.

Capturing CO2 emissions at purchased-part level – for more accurate results

A key unique selling point: TELUSIO analyses emissions not only at assembly level, but also includes purchased parts automatically in the calculation. The platform recognises purchased parts by article numbers, descriptions or classifications and fills in missing information using public data sheets, manufacturer websites and validated emission factors.

This granularity leads to significantly more precise results – especially in complex supply chains or when primary data is incomplete. While many tools work with blanket assumptions, TELUSIO delivers a differentiated carbon footprint based on the real product structure.

Digital product file for the Product Carbon Footprint of all variants

A digital product file is created automatically for each product configuration. It contains not only the calculated Product Carbon Footprint but also all relevant data sources, material information and methodological background. Especially for products with many variants – such as machines offered in hundreds of configurations – this creates structure and clarity and makes it possible to meet the regulatory requirement of stating the CO2 emissions for every product variant.

For example, you can see within seconds which variant of a product has the lowest emissions, or how different material combinations affect the Product Carbon Footprint. This makes both product decisions and the external communication of sustainable product options easier.

Certified Product Carbon Footprint reports with one click

At the push of a button, TELUSIO generates certified PCF reports according to ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol, validated by GUTcert. These can be exported directly and integrated, for example, into customer offers, sustainability reports or external audits.

All sources, assumptions and calculation methods used are documented transparently – traceable and audit-proof.
In practice, this means: when a customer requests CO2 evidence for a specific product part, it does not have to be compiled by hand. Instead, one click is enough – and the complete, verified report is available.

Conclusion: PCF software for companies that want to understand and manage CO2

TELUSIO is far more than a CO2 calculator – it is an intelligent analysis tool that makes the Product Carbon Footprint visible, comparable and manageable. Companies gain not only an overview of their products’ CO2 emissions but real ability to act. This depth is not only crucial for sustainable product decisions, but will also be a prerequisite for the digital product passport and thus for selling on the European market.

With TELUSIO, companies meet tomorrow’s requirements today – efficiently, certified and audit-proof. With digital product files, certified reports, automated data enrichment and precise analysis down to purchased parts, TELUSIO offers a modern solution for everyone who wants not only to document CO2 transparency but to use it actively.
