Estimate CO₂ Savings

Estimate greenhouse gas reductions from WASH and institutional energy projects in Least Developed Countries using Gold Standard methodologies.

Purpose & Capabilities:
  • Portfolio Aggregation: Effortlessly calculate aggregated savings across entire portfolios of clinics, schools, and household clusters simultaneously.
  • Strict Methodology: Built-in guardrails against double counting and rigorous adherence to mass-based emission factors (kgCO₂e/kg fuel). NCV is used only to convert energy needs into fuel mass where required.
  • Financial Tracking: Automatically estimates indicative voluntary carbon market revenues and lifetime avoided fuel spending.
  • Dashboard Ready: Export transparent, detailed CSV reports capturing over 60 granular assumptions.
