Crack the Carbon Code
System limits
These are in terms of time (what year is the basis of accounting), organization (locations) and operational limits (emission sources).
Scopes
Scope 1 covers emissions that directly arise from a company’s in-house activities, Scope 2 defines emissions which are not generated directly by the company but arise during generation of the energy that the company consumes, and Scope 3 covers all other indirect emissions that arise within the company’s value-added chain.
Clear data for CO₂ accounting with GridVis®
Both hardware and software solutions are required for CO₂ accounting, such as
Janitza measurement devices and data loggers for storing consumption data
Flow meters for liquids and gases (optional)
GridVis® software for energy and CO₂ monitoring as well as connectivity to higher-order systems
GridVis® simplifies the complicated processes behind evaluating CO₂ emissions. Data imports and inclusion of meters via Modbus enable integration of all energy sources and auxiliary materials into the software. Virtual devices mean that all consumption data can be converted directly into CO₂ emissions and KPIs can be created for simple analysis of consumption, costs and CO₂.
Our demo project enables you to get to grips with the features that GridVis® provides. This can be found under: https://www.gridvis-energy.de (Registration with user: demo, Password: demo). When in the CO₂ Monitoring section you gain an insight into the dashboards for recording CO₂ emissions, an overview of the different energy media and CO₂ reductions.
From practical experience: Recording all company CO₂ emissions worldwide
Data plays a key role in CO₂ accounting. For this reason, generation of measured values on site and integration of such into a central database is the basis for further processing and analysis of such data. This demands not just precise coordination, but also needs standardized yet adaptable solutions that can handle such specific requirements. Janitza’s expertise in data acquisition for CO₂ accounting as well as its hardware and software solutions provide everything you need to master such challenges.
A standardized system worldwide for locally storing energy consumption for production locations and development centers in various countries was developed and installed as part of a customer order for a company active worldwide with many different locations. In addition, Janitza provides services such as planning support, training and technical support.
Dashboards with GridVis®
Potential energy savings are shown with GridVis® software.
In addition, the measured parameters can be analyzed in order to detect potential production interruptions in good time and also to optimize the time for which operating equipment is used. This makes the scalable, user-friendly software perfectly suited for developing ISO 50001-compliant energy, RCM and power quality monitoring systems.
