Dear Luísa,

I am sending you an integration energy-LCA model regarding the integration of energy and carbon footprint, maybe the developed methodology will help you.

Dear Luísa, if you are looking for a software solution: if the extrusion process has material inputs and outputs in addition to the energy input, you can build the LCA process and LCA plan with the help of an OpenLCA, and after running it you can get the carbon footprint in the form of GWP.

In principle you need to find how the energy was produced in the first place. Depending on types of power plants and other energy providers processes, the GHG emissions vary.

Also have a look at the following paper for more theoretical background:
