How do we meet our emissions targets, at what cost and in what order?
Sets the decarbonization path and the sustainability priorities, with the cost, the volume and the timing of each lever.
What you receive
The emissions path, the levers ranked by cost per tonne and the investment plan.
Each lever by its cost per tonne of emissions avoided and the volume it removes, from lowest to highest cost.
When to open it
- Your sustainability team must meet emissions targets set by regulation or customers.
- Carbon and energy prices change the economics of the business.
- Investors and lenders ask for a transition plan with costs and dates.
What the project covers
- Emissions baseline by scope, site and product
- Abatement levers with their cost per tonne and volume
- Regulation, customer requirements and carbon prices
- Material sustainability topics for the business
- Investment plan, financing and the target path
What your team brings
- Energy use and emissions by site and process
- Fuel, power and raw material purchases
- Capital plan and asset lifetimes
- Customer and regulatory requirements on emissions
- Sustainability reports already published
In your report
- Exhibit 1
An abatement cost curve ranks levers by cost per tonne
Each lever by its cost per tonne of emissions avoided and the volume it removes, from lowest to highest cost.
- Exhibit 2
The emissions path shows each lever's timing against the target
Projected emissions year by year as each lever takes effect, against the target path.
Where it applies
- Agriculture and food
Which emissions in our supply chain should we cut first, and who should pay for the change on the farm?
Emissions by product and origin, the cost per tonne of each measure and what buyers will pay for lower-carbon products.
- Chemicals, materials and mining
Which decarbonization route should our largest site take: electrification, hydrogen or carbon capture?
Cost per tonne avoided, the energy supply each route needs and when the technology can run at scale.
- Transport, logistics and infrastructure
When should we switch our truck fleet to electric, and on which routes first?
Total cost of ownership by route, charging access at depots and what shippers will pay for lower emissions.
- Real estate and construction
In what order should we retrofit our buildings to meet the energy standards tenants and lenders ask for?
Energy use and emissions by building, the cost of each measure and its effect on rent and value.
