Infrastructure Emissions Methodology and PCAF Alignment Built

January 16, 2023

Financial data gathering and estimating carbon emissions for infrastructure assets is difficult but is the starting point to build a scalable PCAF aligned approach to quantifying carbon liabilities for infrastructure assets. To overcome customer data gathering hurdles, we have built a range of PCAF-aligned corporate carbon footprinting methods with the lowest amount of information needed.
