Calculating the Carbon Footprint of an Industrial Product : Factory-X “PCF Guidance” Explains How

Instanz: TeilenTeilen:Calculating the Carbon Footprint of an Industrial Product : Factory-X “PCF Guidance” Explains HowAndreas Hemmerle Presse und MedienFraunhofer IWU06.08.2026 08:01How can a product’s carbon footprint be determined in a standardized, automated, and cross-company manner along the value chain? “PCF Guidance,” the new guidance document published by the Factory-X initiative, with contributions from Fraunhofer IWU, addresses these questions. Factory-X addresses the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) as a key challenge in discrete manufacturing. Guidance, Support, and Opportunities for CollaborationDeveloped with contributions from ESTAINIUM, Siemens, Fraunhofer IWU, and other partners, the Product Carbon Footprint Guidance (PCF Guidance) is based on the Catena-X PCF Rulebook Version 4.0.
