Carbon emission analysis and reduction for stamping process chain

The aim of this research is to contribute toward the development of a new mathematical model for predicting the carbon emissions and find the potential to control carbon emissions in stamping process chain. This study includes a review on the existing models of carbon emission analysis and reduction. Based on the existing models, the established models will track the visibility and process of carbon footprint in stamping process chain. In particular, the paper discusses the breakdown of the processes that contribute to the overall carbon emissions of a stamping process chain, such as electricity consumed by the equipment, lubricant fluid, and tool making. Finally, to meet the needs for low carbon manufacturing, a new energy matching and saving method for a group of hydraulic presses is discussed. On the basis of the investigated process chain, the method leads to the related energy and carbon emission reduction.
