Hello and welcome to this post. I created an online calculator which allows you to quickly calculate the CO2 equivalent (CO2e) savings potential for your application.
How to run the calculation
1) select you current material (if your material is not in the list, please reach out to me)
2) select the alternative material
3) enter the material usage per year in kg
4) then your potential CO2 saving will be automatically calculated (cradle-to-gate)
If you want a more detailed calculation, please reach out to me under "contact me"
Example metal replacement (magnesium) vs Polyamide
Figure 1 shows the user interface of the calculator and the input values for the metal replacement example. As a result, changing from Magnesium to Polyamide 6.6 has a CO2e saving potential of 47%.
