Complete Carbon Footprint and Emissions Reduction Analysis for a Leading Global Chemical Company
Background and Objectives
The global chemical company, operating numerous facilities worldwide, recognized the importance of understanding and reducing its carbon footprint. To initiate their sustainability roadmap, they sought to develop a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis for one of their major facilities.
The objectives included assessing emissions from both Scope 1 (operations) and Scope 2 (purchased electricity) while exploring opportunities to optimize operations through the installation of solar panels.
Approach and Solution
Our approach began with a mapping of the facility’s emissions business process. We collaborated closely with the client’s team to identify and evaluate equipment and emissions activities. By conducting an in-depth review of key operational processes, we gained insights into emissions intensity and identified areas for improvement. Additionally, we examined the potential benefits of integrating solar panels as a sink process to offset purchased power.
Value Created
Our partnership resulted in several significant outcomes and value-added benefits for the global chemical company:
1. Clear Understanding of Emissions Footprint:
By conducting a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis, we provided the company with a detailed understanding of the emissions profile and hotspots of one of its major facilities. This knowledge served as a foundation for targeted emissions reduction strategies.
2. Operations Insights and Intensity Analysis:
Our solution offered an array of emissions intensity views at various time intervals, including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. These insights empowered the company’s operations teams to make data-driven decisions, identify peak emissions periods, and explore optimization opportunities to drive efficiency.
3. Emissions Reduction Analysis and Solar Energy Optimization:
Through our advanced analytics, the client gained valuable insights into emissions reduction possibilities and operational optimization – for instance, we helped the client to optimise their production schedule to maximise the usage of solar energy to offset power purchases.
4. Automated Data Collection and Streamlined Emissions Management:
Our solution offered seamless data integration with existing systems, eliminating the need for manual data collection and transformation to swiftly generate. This approach not only saved valuable time but also enhanced the accuracy and reliability of emissions reporting.
5. Real-Time Dashboard and Analytics:
Our platform provided a near real-time dashboard of companies’ operations impact on sustainability metrics. We offered the client a range of dashboards and analytics tools to extract greater value from the emissions data.
6. Decision Support for Net Zero Goals:
The decision-quality analysis delivered by our solution supported the client’s long-term emissions reduction initiatives and their journey toward achieving net zero benefits. Armed with accurate and reliable data, the company could strategically plan and implement sustainable practices to reach its ambitious goals.
