Decarbonisation Strategy

Measure your emissions properly and build a reduction plan you can defend to auditors and customers

What it is

Decarbonisation Strategy

We help U.S. industrial companies measure greenhouse-gas emissions using the GHG Protocol, respond to customer and investor data requests, and build decarbonization roadmaps grounded in operating and financial analysis.

Typical duration: 4 to 8 weeks
Industry: Energy, Utilities & Renewables

The business problem

Why clients need this

Customers, lenders, and investors increasingly request credible emissions data. Many companies lack consistent activity records, supplier inputs, and a costed plan for reducing emissions.

01
Companies lack the activity data needed to calculate Scope 3 supply chain and logistics emissions.
02
Customers and procurement teams may request product-level footprints and documented emissions factors from suppliers.
03
Net Zero targets are announced without a costed, technically feasible plan behind them.

Our approach

How we deliver it

1
GHG Inventory (Scopes 1, 2 & 3)
Collecting activity data on fuel, electricity, freight, and purchased materials, following the GHG Protocol.
2
Product Carbon Footprints
Calculating product-level emissions with documented boundaries, activity data, and emissions factors.
3
Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC)
Ranking reduction options such as efficiency, solar, electrification, and fuel switching by cost per tonne of CO2 avoided.
4
Disclosure & Assurance Readiness
Organizing emissions data and methodologies to support customer, lender, investor, and voluntary-framework requests.

Data & AI

How technology strengthens this service

Calculation pipelines pull production and utility data from your ERP and meters and apply recognised emission factor sources, reducing manual spreadsheet work and leaving a clear audit trail.

FAQs

Common questions

How should we respond to customer emissions requests?+

Start with clear organizational and product boundaries, traceable activity data, documented emissions factors, and a repeatable calculation method. We help organize these inputs and identify data gaps before a response is submitted.

Does decarbonization always require large capital investment?+

No. Energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, and renewable power procurement can often reduce emissions while lowering operating costs.

Will our GHG inventory pass third-party assurance?+

We prepare inventories in line with ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, with documented data sources and calculations, so the assurance provider has what they need.
