Expert Knowledge: Decarbonization through digitization

Solutions for easy capturing of CO2 hotspots in complex supply chains

"I ride my bike all over the place." For the private individual, it's certainly a sensible and, above all, easy contribution to the protection of the environment. In business, however, climate protection is usually a little more complicated. The entire production cycle must be searched for energy-intensive processes both inside and outside a company. Complex software is needed to analyze such CO2 hotspots, because the respective processes can rarely be applied to different cases.

CO2 Balance

A greenhouse gas balance for carbon dioxide - often also called CO2 footprint or carbon footprint - is used to determine the direct and indirect emissions that result from the actions of a company. Greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide are recorded as CO2 equivalents (CO2e) to have a single target figure on which the effects of business activities and the effectiveness of climate protection projects are recorded. You can also use the scientific unit system of ID-Report to perform CO2-equivalence calculations and to collect and process emissions.
