PCF quantification provides detailed product comparison of two components
“TELUSIO is the ideal one-stop shop when it comes to the product carbon footprint. Their structured approach to project implementation coupled with their expertise in mechanical engineering make them the ideal partner!”

Carbon Footprint Manager, HAWE Hydraulik
Starting Position
HAWE Hydraulik is a medium-sized, internationally active family business with headquarters in Munich.
HAWE Hydraulik has the ambition to combine over 70 years of experience in hydraulics with the integration of new technologies to provide innovative solutions – “Solutions for a World under Pressure”!
Challenges
HAWE planned to calculate the product carbon footprint (PCF) of two hydraulic components from the same series in order to highlight differences in emissions and promote a more sustainable product design.
In addition to the PCF calculation, CO2e hotspots were to be identified to enable an emission-optimized design.
The biggest challenges were limited internal capacities and low master data quality: only 68% of the parts list entries were initially usable, and relevant data (e.g. weights, materials) was scattered across different systems.
HAWE therefore needed a competent carbon accounting partner for data preparation and emissions calculation for a fast, automated calculation – TELUSIO provided support here.
Data stored in different systems
Only 68% of relevant data initially usable
Hardly any in-house capacity available for data preparation & PCF calculation
Many suppliers and additional intralogistics between individual HAWE locations
Solution
HAWE carried out the PCF calculation together with TELUSIO. Telusio initially bundled and supplemented the relevant data (especially parts lists). Within four weeks, the PCF and detailed differences between the two components were calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (activity-based method).
Thanks to TELUSIO Intelligence, the BOM data quality increased from 68% to 96%. The results enable reliable analyses, support CO2e-optimized product design and serve as a basis for sales arguments. In addition, the PCF report can be communicated externally to make HAWE’s sustainability efforts visible.
What characterizes the collaboration?
In addition to the fast and smooth cooperation, TELUSIO’s experience in mechanical engineering was also impressive. Master data could be easily prepared and used to enable a scalable solution in the future.
Very detailed product carbon footprint thanks to structured data preparation enables detailed analyses and robustness for external verification of PCF results
Detection of CO2e hotspots when comparing both components and derivation of detailed findings for a CO2e-reduced product design
CO2e-optimized product design of a product variant is a verifiable & valid argument in sales
“TELUSIO’s calculations provide us with a transparent basis for a lower-carbon, more sustainable product design. In addition, the prepared master data is very valuable for our company-wide master data management.”
