What is an Energy and Carbon Audit?

An energy audit, also known as a carbon audit or carbon assessment, systematically measures and analyzes greenhouse-gas emissions across operations, supply chains and activities.

Scope 1: Direct Emissions

  • Company vehicles and fleet operations
  • On-site fuel combustion
  • Manufacturing and chemical processes
  • Refrigerant and fugitive emissions

Scope 2: Energy Emissions

  • Purchased electricity from the grid
  • District heating and cooling
  • Purchased steam for industrial processes

Scope 3: Value Chain

  • Purchased goods, capital goods and logistics
  • Travel, commuting, waste and leased assets
  • Product use, end-of-life and investments
Why audits matter

Climate impact is also human impact.

Food Security

Extreme weather, changing precipitation and ocean acidification threaten livelihoods and nutrition.

Water Availability

Drought, glacial melt, flooding and contamination intensify water stress.

Public Health

Air pollution, heat, disease vectors and displacement create significant health burdens.

Economic Displacement

Sea-level rise and climate migration disrupt exposed communities and operations.

GGC methodology

Six phases from data to verified action.

PHASE 01

Comprehensive Data Collection

  • Energy, fuel, BMS and utility data
  • Fleet, travel, commuting and freight
  • Procurement, suppliers, waste and water
PHASE 02

Calculation & Analysis

  • GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1
  • Direct measurement, mass balance and activity data
  • Transparent emission-factor hierarchy
PHASE 03

Benchmarking & Context

  • Peer, sector and carbon-intensity comparisons
  • 1.5°C pathway and historical trend analysis
  • Geographic and physical-risk context
PHASE 04

Hotspot Prioritization

  • Pareto and contribution analysis
  • Marginal abatement cost curves
  • Abatement potential and complexity
PHASE 05

Reduction Roadmap

  • Short, medium and long-term initiatives
  • CAPEX, OPEX, payback, NPV and IRR
  • Governance, sequencing and KPIs
PHASE 06

Verification & Reporting

  • Third-party assurance preparation
  • CDP, GRI, TCFD and SASB support
  • Annual reporting and monitoring
