Due to the increasing awareness to reduce CO2 emissions, it is important that car producers (OEM) get transparency about their energy consumption. Especially the production emission is becoming a focus topic in the next years. Hence, it should be started to minimize the energy consumption in a sustainable way. Therefore, this chapter presents a new approach to design a sustainable Energy Chain, which considers all elements beginning from the energy supplier to the end customer. Additionally the energy consumption is assessed, whether it is value-adding or not. This helps to find the levers to reduce energy consumption without reducing the level of quality and quantity. For the implementation of the Energy Chain a suitable software architecture is necessary. This chapter shows possible software modules for energy planning.
