Abstract: The GHG emissions of a product throughout its life cycle must be estimated, with problematic parts and/or materials identified to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the product. Products are made of parts; thus, the amount of GHG emissions of a product depends on the GHG emissions of the individual parts. Parts suitable for product specification are chosen to form the bill of materials (BOM) of the product. This paper proposes a low-carbon product design system based on BOM using the embedded GHG emissions data of the parts.
