Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 6 AMD Product Carbon Footprint
Machine Types: 21S8, 21S9, 21SE, 21SF
Device Type: Notebook
Report Date: 06/27/2025
Product Overview
Lenovo is committed to environmental responsibility, conducting streamlined product life cycle analyses in accordance with the IEC TR 62921 standard. This analysis helps customers estimate their product's carbon footprint, defined as the total greenhouse gases emitted over its lifespan, reported as global warming potential (GWP-100) in CO2 equivalents.
179 kg CO2e (Mean Value)
± 29 kg CO2e (Standard Deviation)
Assumptions and Data
This estimate is based on the following assumptions (EU use location; U.S. estimates are provided separately):
| Metric | Value | Metric | Value | Metric | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product Weight (kg) | 1.38 | Product Screen Size (inches) | 14 | Assembly Location | CN |
| Product Lifetime (years) | 4 | Yearly Typical Energy Use (kWh) | 16.17 | Use Location | EU |
Lifecycle Carbon Emissions Breakdown
The following details the carbon emissions of this product by lifecycle stage (raw material extraction through product end-of-life) and greenhouse gases from the manufacture of major components:
- Manufacturing: 84.8%
- Display: 26.2%
- Main Board: 27.1%
- SSD: 5.4%
- PSU: 17.6%
- Battery: 3.4%
- Chassis: 4.4%
- Transport: 6.1%
- Use: 8.3%
- EOL (End-of-Life): 0.8%
- Packaging: 0.8%
Product Carbon Footprinting (PCF) is calculated using PAIA, a globally-accepted methodology that streamlines the PCF process. The PAIA tool aligns with IEC 62921, providing a reasonable estimate of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the product's lifecycle: Manufacturing (from raw material extraction to production and packaging), Transport (from manufacturing site to use location), Use (typical energy consumption over the product's life), and End-of-life. Communicating these GHG levels through quantitative estimates inherently involves a degree of uncertainty. This uncertainty stems from data sourcing, modeling assumptions, and the characterization factors used to translate environmental emissions into environmental impacts. Lenovo addresses this uncertainty by reporting not only the mean GHG number but also the standard deviation and 5th/95th percentile values. Due to this inherent uncertainty, direct comparison of PCF results between different products or manufacturers is not recommended. Lenovo also reports both EU and US totals for transparency.

| Metric | EU Value | US Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mean | 179 | 195 |
| Standard Deviation | 29 | 25 |
| 5th Percentile | 115 | N/A |
| 95th Percentile | 348 | N/A |
Lenovo uses PAIA to calculate product carbon footprint values. This product was assessed using PAIA version: 1.4.7.
