The market for carbon emission calculators in India is growing, as the country faces increasing regulatory and customer demands for sustainability and transparency in the automotive and industrial sectors. India has committed to the Paris Agreement and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aiming to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 33-35% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. India has also implemented various energy efficiency initiatives, such as the Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme, which creates a market-based mechanism for trading energy-saving certificates (ESCerts) among designated consumers.
SKF, a global bearings manufacturer, launched the Auto CO2 Calculator tool, a free solution that helps automakers measure and lower their carbon emissions. The tool is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, which is a rigorous and scientific approach to measure the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle. The tool can estimate the carbon footprint of a vehicle’s components and systems, as well as the energy losses in electric vehicle powertrains. It can also suggest ways to lower emissions by using our low-friction and energy-efficient solutions, which are designed to optimize the performance and durability of rotating equipment. Tata Motors, a leading automaker in India, has partnered with SKF, to launch a free tool for automakers to calculate and reduce their carbon emissions.
Globally on the same perspective:
Schaeffler’s Carbon Footprint Calculator allows automotive manufacturers to make informed decisions for decarbonization. This web-based tool, armed with transparent data and user-friendly functionalities, calculates the CO2 emissions associated with different bearing designs. The calculator delivers an estimated CO2 footprint, allowing you to compare emissions across options. This data transparency empowers to choose bearings that contribute to reducing your vehicle’s overall carbon footprint by up to 17%.
India’s 14 %-emission-contributing transport sector needs urgent action. These calculators empower manufacturers to analyze design choices’ environmental impact, leading to cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles (up to 17% emission reduction) and compliance with stricter regulations.
Consumers, increasingly prioritizing sustainability, are attracted to eco-conscious vehicles with lower footprints, boosting brand image and market competitiveness. Optimizing design and processes based on carbon data translates to cost savings and increased profitability. The global impact is significant. India’s adoption can inspire others, accelerating the global shift towards cleaner transportation.
