Carbon Assessment
Xodus helps clients to quantify the carbon emissions for projects from construction through operation to decommissioning.
Carbon assessment is available as an additional element in wider Xodus projects such as concept screening and environmental impact assessments, or as a stand-alone service.
Five step approach
Xodus has developed a uniquely comprehensive CO2 emissions calculation tool for technically complex energy developments. Our tried and tested approach involves five steps to calculate emissions for each project option using a range of emission factors.
› Scope CO2 emissions into project phases: Construction, Operations, Maintenance, Decommissioning
› Identify CO2 generating activities in each phase
› Determine CO2 emission factors for each activity
› Gather activity data
› Calculate lifecycle CO2 emissions for each project option
Approaching the analysis in this systematic manner provides our clients with a realistic assessment of project lifecycle CO2 emissions.
