Method, electronic device and computer program product for reducing a carbon dioxide footprint associated with a production process

An electronic device for reducing a carbon dioxide footprint associated with a production process, wherein the carbon dioxide footprint includes at least an amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the production process, the electronic device comprising:

• a processing circuitry configured to cause the electronic device to:
• obtain a parameter indicative of a selected cutting feature for production by a cutting tool;
• obtain a parameter indicative of a selected work-piece material for production by a cutting tool;
• determine a set of cutting tools for production based on the obtained parameters;
• and
• determine a cutting tool for production from the determined set of cutting tools based on carbon dioxide emission information data associated with each cutting tool in the determined set of cutting tools, wherein the production process includes plural operations by different cutting tools and the carbon dioxide footprint includes at least a total amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the production process by different cutting tools, and wherein determining each cutting tool for production for each operation in the production process is based on a carbon dioxide contribution by each cutting tool in each operation for reducing a total carbon dioxide footprint for the production process.
