The Carbon Footprint Model

In this article we cover the carbon footprint model which allows you to perform calculations over your sites and see their environmental impact.

Description of the model

A carbon footprint model is a framework used to estimate and quantify the total amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂), associated with a particular entity's activities. This entity could be an individual, organization, product, or event. The model encompasses emissions from direct activities (like fuel combustion) and indirect activities (such as electricity consumption and supply chain impacts), translating these into a measure of environmental impact, typically expressed in terms of CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e). The goal is to identify and assess the major sources of emissions to inform strategies for reducing the overall carbon footprint.
