Based on Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of producing a typical electric vehicle (EV) IGBT module by the GaBi software has been analyzed. Carbon dioxide emission of each step, including raw material production, frontend, backend and transportation, of the whole life cycle was identified and evaluated. The results show that the CO2 emission of the frontend accounts for 51% of the total emission, and that of the backend accounts for 32.8%.
