1. A method for quantifying carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in a manufacturing process, comprising:
displaying, on a graphic user interface, an interactive element that facilitates user interaction with an application for determining CO2 emissions in a manufacturing process, wherein the interactive element is directed to a specific function in the application;
receiving a selection of a material from the interactive element of the graphic user interface;
displaying the selection in the graphic user interface;
calculating, by the application, an amount of material and an amount of energy that are consumed when manufacturing a product according to the manufacturing process;
decomposing, by the application, a chemical composition of the material into a set of constituent elements;
estimating, by the application, a first quantity of CO2 emissions based on the amount of material consumed and a first CO2 emission factor, wherein the first CO2 emission factor is based on a proportional composition of the set of constituent elements in the chemical composition;
estimating, by the application, a second quantity of CO2 emissions based on the amount of energy consumed and a second CO2 emission factor, wherein the second CO2 emission factor is based on an energy source used in the manufacturing process;
displaying in the graphic user interface, together with the material, a total CO2 emission for the product based on both the first quantity of CO2 emissions and the second quantity of CO2 emissions;
displaying, after displaying the selection of the material and further based on the selection of the material, an additional interactive element that is directed to a second specific function in the application, wherein the second specific function is based on the material;
receiving a second selection from the additional interactive element; and
updating the graphical user interface based on the second selection from the additional interactive element.
