Greenhouse gas balancing, climate neutrality and carbon footprint measurement

Reducing emissions to achieve climate neutrality is a goal for companies, real estate developers and municipalities alike. Calculating emissions for a product or process makes it possible to assess its CO₂ footprint and overall climate impact.

The first step is compiling a greenhouse gas balance report to establish current CO₂ and GHG emissions. This can be combined with an energy or air pollution report, since much of the data overlaps. Repeated reporting enables comparisons over time, identifies savings opportunities and supports effective reduction measures. Unavoidable emissions can be offset with CO₂ certificates or carbon sinks.

Typical questions from our clients

• Which activities should be included in the report, and where should system boundaries be set?
• Which activity data is most accurate and reliable, and when is indirect calculation required?
• What are the main energy consumers and greenhouse gas emitters?
• Where can energy efficiency be improved, and where is there potential for renewable energy?
• Which reduction measures should be prioritized?
• What is a realistic reduction path and goal?
