Carbon Calculator - Automated Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Calculation Software for Industrial Facilities

Problem and implemented solution

As the global push for carbon neutrality intensifies, industrial facilities are under increasing pressure to monitor, report and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The challenge lies in the complexity and accuracy required for such calculations, which are typically performed manually or through costly consulting services. In Russia, for example, GHG reporting has become mandatory for companies emitting more than 50,000 tCO2e per year. To address this, Carbon Zero has developed the Carbon Calculator - a system that provides automated accounting, analysis and reporting of emissions based on national and international methodologies. The software integrates with existing IT systems, automates data collection and performs up-to-date calculations, allowing organizations to obtain highly detailed and accurate results depending on the structure, hierarchy and scope of their initial data. This solution not only reduces the margin for error, but also significantly reduces the costs associated with compliance and reporting.

Estimated duration of implementation

Implementation of the Carbon Calculator software typically takes between 4 and 8 months, depending on the complexity of integration with the client's existing systems and the specific requirements of the industry. This timeframe includes initial consultation, customization of the software to meet the client's specific needs, system integration, user training and the final roll-out of the system.

Implementation geography

The Carbon Calculator has been successfully implemented in various industrial facilities throughout Russia. The calculation methodology supports international standards, including the GHG Protocol and IPCC guidelines. This ensures that the Carbon Calculator is not only compliant with Russian legislation, but is also fully adaptable for use in other BRICS+ countries.

Description of competitive advantages

The Carbon Calculator's competitive advantages set it apart from other market solutions. It automates the GHG accounting process for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, significantly reducing the time and cost of reporting. The software features an intuitive interface that streamlines data analysis and report generation, increasing both efficiency and ease of use. Its high level of customization allows organizations to tailor the tool to their specific needs, providing detailed calculations by object and hierarchical structure. Designed to comply with international standards such as the GHG Protocol and the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006), as well as Russian legislation, the Carbon Calculator is seamlessly adaptable to other BRICS countries. This scalability ensures that it meets different regulatory requirements in different industrial contexts. In addition, the Carbon Calculator offers secure integration with enterprise systems, facilitating smooth data import and export while maintaining data integrity.
