All calculations are based on the international methodology of the global Greenhouse gas protocol, widespread in this field. You can see a more detailed description in the Methodology section. European regulations also direct the use of this methodology, the Greenhouse gas protocol, thereby the approach will be recognizable both to partners from Europe and from other countries around the world.
The calculations are prepared for scope 1 and 2 according to the classification of the worldwide used Greenhouse gas protocol. This means activities that are under the operational control of the given entity.
The calculations take into account carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, with the final result presented in carbon dioxide equivalent, a common approach in this type of assessment.
We are actively working with our consultants and by the end of 2024 we plan to have solutions available for the livestock, food industry, construction, metalworking and woodworking sectors.
Indirectly the produced electricity from the photovoltaic installation already reduces the need to buy electricity from the grid, so you do not need to enter it explicitly.
The practice for CO2 calculations is to show the bill in combination with the company's financial statement, ie. recommended option is the period January 1st - December 31st. Due to the nature of seasonal businesses, you may want to use the business year approach instead. The calculator will provide correct calculations, but you must specify to the user of the report that the data entered is for a business year and which one.
Greenhouse gas emissions are generated by the decomposition of plant residues. Each crop has a different amount of such residues below ground and above ground respectively. The type of crop, together with the amount of yield and residue respectively, allows the emissions to be calculated.
