Abstract：An Activity-Based Carbon-computing method was proposed by using the thinking of Activity-Based Costing for reference. Firstly, the conception and principle of the Activity-Based Carbon-computing method were presented; then the carbon-computing model of the product manufacturing process was established based on activity; the acquisition and calculation approach of the key elements of the computing model were analyzed and presented; Finally, a case study was presented, which demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. The research result can be furtherly applied to the low carbon evaluation and optimization.
