All of this knowledge has been implemented in the technology models of the PCF calculator in order to determine the most realistic emission factors possible based on our technologies and processes. The solution is rounded off with a process simulator that can also calculate consumption values and therefore CO\u2082 emissions when a product is in the inquiry phase, i.e. when there is no measurable consumption yet.
