enhanCing Emissions visibility iN SUpply chainS (CENSUS)

人口普查项目是一个独特的软件开发方案，旨在解决英国工业实现净零相关的最艰巨挑战之一，即监测和减少与公司产品和服务相关的排放。通常，一家公司80%以上的碳排放来自其上下游价值链的活动。这通常是购买和移动进入他们自己的业务运营的商品。最大的挑战是监控所有这些不同的活动，以便他们能够采取措施减少相关排放。这是由于缺乏来自企业价值链中与其排放产生活动相关的供应商和客户的原始数据，特别是与定制产品线有关的数据。通过人口普查，Riskoa将开发和构建其概念性的“Emvide”软件平台，以解决从运行在多个组织的产品线中开发排放信息的具体问题。“Emvide”软件在拉丁语中的意思是“**em**distions view/see”(**vide**)，它将通过建立一个在线SaaS平台，允许多个供应链合作伙伴上传其制造/服务路线/S以及为其运营的这些步骤计算的相关排放量，专注于生成多方的产品/服务排放系数。该项目的主要创新与软件产品本身及其实现的功能相关。创新有三个方面；第一，注重产品价值链排放报告，这需要将多方及其相关的业务步骤聚集在一起。大多数碳计算器都专注于报告企业的总体排放量，Emvide则解决了报告中较难的部分，即查看定制产品的排放概况。其次，使用具有高级API和用户管理的SaaS应用程序允许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，将根据组织规模和复杂性提供的定价方案进一步允许多方整合，克服准确的产品排放报告的主要障碍。这一新产品将在短短5个月的项目实施中开发，涉及三个工作包。这将包括软件设计阶段、产品构建阶段，最后是产品评估阶段。该团队已经获得了使用此应用程序的行业最终用户，他们对产品排放概况有特定需求，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.
