Good Guys’ Index by NovaCast

Every Casting Counts

Good Guys’ Index (GGI) is a calculation program for CO2 emissions generated from the casting process when producing a specific casting part. The program takes into account the emissions produced from raw material to transport to the customer. Users can also use the program to simulate different scenarios, where they can:

Compare different casting designs
Compare different methoding (feeder and gatings)
Compare different foundries
See the impact of using different energy sources
See the impact of using different furnaces
Calculate costs
Calculate energy consumption
Calculate CO2 emissions

Why Good Guys' Index?
