Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GHG Protocol?

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol is the most widely used international accounting standard for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. It categorizes emissions into three scopes to ensure comprehensive coverage of a company's carbon footprint.

What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?

Scope 1 includes direct emissions from owned/controlled sources (vehicles, boilers). Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity, heating). Scope 3 encompasses all other indirect emissions in the value chain (business travel, supply chain, waste).

How accurate is this calculator?

Our calculator uses GHG Protocol standards and industry-standard emission factors. Accuracy depends on the quality of input data. For official reporting, we recommend working with certified carbon accounting professionals.

What is carbon intensity?

Carbon intensity measures emissions per unit of activity (e.g., per employee, per revenue). It allows fair comparison between organizations of different sizes and helps track efficiency improvements over time.

How are reduction plans generated?

Our AI-powered system analyzes your emission sources and generates customized reduction strategies based on industry best practices, cost-effectiveness, and implementation feasibility. Confidence scores reflect the reliability of potential reductions.

What are carbon offsets?

Carbon offsets represent verified reductions or removals of greenhouse gases that compensate for emissions occurring elsewhere. They should be used alongside reduction efforts, not as a replacement for emission reductions.

How do I choose offset providers?

Look for verified certifications (VCS, Gold Standard, ACR), permanence guarantees, additionality proof, and transparency. We recommend a portfolio approach combining nature-based and technology solutions.

Can I export my results for ESG reporting?

Yes! You can export your complete carbon footprint analysis including emissions breakdown, reduction plans, and offset strategies. The JSON format can be integrated into ESG reports and sustainability disclosures.

How often should I calculate my footprint?

We recommend quarterly calculations to track progress and annual comprehensive assessments. Regular monitoring helps identify trends, validate reduction strategies, and support continuous improvement.

What is net-zero?

Net-zero means balancing emissions produced with emissions removed from the atmosphere. Achieving net-zero requires aggressive emission reductions (90%+) with remaining emissions offset through verified carbon removal projects.
