enhanCing Emissions visibility iN SUpply chainS (CENSUS)

CENSUS项目是一个独特的软件开发提案，旨在解决与英国工业实现净零排放相关的最困难的挑战之一，即监测和减少与公司产品和服务相关的排放。通常情况下，公司80%以上的碳排放来自其上游和下游价值链的活动。这是典型的购买和货物的移动进入自己的业务运营。这方面最大的挑战是监测所有这些不同的活动，以便他们能够采取措施减少相关的排放。这是由于缺乏来自企业价值链中的供应商和客户的与其排放产生活动相关的原始数据，特别是与定制产品线相关的数据。通过CENSUS，Riskoa将开发和构建其概念性的“Emvide”软件平台，以解决从跨多个组织的产品线中开发排放信息的具体问题。“Emvide”软件，意思是“**em** missions viewing/seeing”（** 见拉丁文 **），将侧重于产生多个缔约方的产品/服务排放系数，通过建立在线SaaS平台，允许多个供应链合作伙伴上传其制造/服务路线/项目的主要创新与软件产品有关它本身和它所能做的。创新是三方面的;第一，侧重于产品价值链排放报告，这需要将多个缔约方及其相关的操作步骤聚集在一起。大多数碳计算器专注于报告一般企业排放，Emvide解决了报告定制产品排放概况的困难部分。其次，使用具有高级API和用户管理的SaaS应用程序，可以让不同规模的多方参与到一个平台上，将价值链的所有部分聚集在一起。最后，根据组织规模和复杂性提供的定价方案进一步允许多方集成，克服准确产品排放报告的主要障碍。这一新产品将在5个月的短期项目实施中开发，涉及三个工作包。这将包括软件设计阶段、产品构建和最后的产品评估阶段。该团队已经通过该应用程序找到了一位对产品排放概况有特定需求的行业最终用户，为完成的产品提供了理想的测试案例和启动客户。

The CENSUS project is a unique software development proposal designed to tackle one of the hardest challenges associated with achieving net zero for UK industry, the monitoring and reduction of emissions associated with companies' product and service offerings. Typically, over 80% of a company's carbon emissions emanate from their activities from their up and downstream value chains. This is typically the purchasing and movement of goods that go into their own business operations. The biggest challenge for this is monitoring all these different activities so they can take steps to reduce the emissions associated. This is due to a lack of primary data from suppliers and customers in the businesses value chain relating to their emissions generating activities especially in relation to bespoke product lines.Through CENSUS, Riskoa will develop and build its conceptual "Emvide" software platform to tackle the specific issue of developing emissions information from product lines that run across multiple organisations. The "Emvide" software, meaning "**em**issions viewing/seeing" (**vide** in Latin), will focus on generating product/service emissions factors across multiple parties, by building an online SaaS platform to allow multiple supply chain partners to upload their manufacturing/service route/s with associated emissions calculated for these steps of their operations.The primary innovation in the project is associated with the software product itself and what it enables. The innovation is threefold; firstly, the focus on product value chain emissions reporting which requires bringing together multiple parties and their associated operational steps. Most carbon calculators focus on reporting general corporate emissions, Emvide tackles the harder part of reporting looking at bespoke product emissions profile. Secondly, the use of a SaaS application with advanced APIs and user management allows multiple parties of different sizes to engage on one platform bringing together all parts of the value chain. And finally, the pricing offering that will be available depending on organisation size and complexity again further allows for integration over multiple parties overcoming the main barrier for accurate product emissions reporting.This novel product will be developed over a short project implementation of 5 months involving three work packages. This will include a software design phase, product build and finally a product evaluation phase. The team have already secured an industry end user with this application who have a specific need for a product emissions profile, providing an ideal test case and launch customer for the completed product.
