Background of reliable carbon footprint calculation software

Climate change is one of the most important issues facing the world. To combat climate change, businesses and individuals need to reduce their carbon footprint. Carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases that an individual or business releases into the atmosphere as a result of its activities. The first step to reduce the carbon footprint is to accurately calculate the carbon footprint.

CimpactPro makes its calculations using data and standards developed by international organizations. These references demonstrate CimpactPro's reliability and compliance with standards.

CimpactPro uses data and standards developed by the following international organizations:

IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change): An international organization responsible for assessing the scientific basis for climate change. The IPCC publishes greenhouse gas emission factors and other data used for carbon footprint calculations.

DEFRA (UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs): The ministry responsible for the UK's environment, food and agriculture policies. DEFRA publishes greenhouse gas emission factors and other data used for carbon footprint calculations.

EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency): The environmental protection agency of the United States. EPA publishes greenhouse gas emission factors and other data used for carbon footprint calculations.

ADEME (The French Agency for Ecological Transition): France's environment, energy and climate agency. ADEME publishes greenhouse gas emission factors and other data used for carbon footprint calculations.

ANGA (Australia's National Greenhouse Accounts): The representative body for Australia's gas and energy industry. ANGA publishes greenhouse gas emission factors and other data used for carbon footprint calculations.

These are internationally respected organizations that specialize in climate change and carbon footprinting. The data and standards developed by these organizations constitute the most reliable and up-to-date sources for carbon footprint calculations.

Why are these references important for CimpactPro users?

The references used by CimpactPro demonstrate the software's reliability and compliance with standards. This provides the following benefits for CimpactPro users:
