Integrate carbon tracking into utility management and investment planning

Carbon tracking for utilities is part of the “Emissions Inventory” phase of the regulatory GHG report (BEGES) and the energy review under ISO 50001, while also contributing to the non-financial reporting required by the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).But how do you convert meter readings into reliable GHG emissions? And how can you use these emissions as a decision-making criterion for your utility investments?

Energy managers, HSE managers, industrial management controllers, technical directors… you want to implement an operational carbon tracking system for your site’s utilities and integrate it into investment decision-making criteria, in accordance with ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.

This fact sheet will help you:

• understand the relevant GHG scopes (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) and select the appropriate emission factors for each utility;

• calculate and track GHG emissions item by item in an operational carbon dashboard;

• define carbon performance indicators (CPIs) that complement energy performance indicators (EPIs);

• to incorporate carbon costs into the criteria for selecting and prioritizing investments;

• align this monitoring with regulatory requirements (BEGES, CSRD, European taxonomy).
