Measure all climate change drivers,
including climate super pollutants like black carbon (soot) and low-level ozone (smog) -
Calculate actual heat reduction impacts
over any timeframe, like the next 10, 20, and 50 years -
Verify health and environmental co-benefits
aligned to the UN SDGs
Various scopes to fit your needs
- Company/Organization-wide
- Facility or facilities
- Project or product-specific
Results in CO₂e, plus heat impacts over any timeframe
-
Partial Climate Footprint
Send us your existing GHG footprint and we'll tell you the heat reduction impact.
-
Total Climate Footprint™
Everything you would expect from a conventional carbon footprint, plus additional data representing your full climate impact.
-
LCA-based co-benefit and trade-offs data
Quantified contributions to SDGs as an optional add-on.
