Novel Process Engineering Emissions Calculator

气候变化是地球上生命所面临的最大威胁之一。温室气体在地球大气中缓慢而危险地积累，已经在全球范围内引发了极端天气状况，引发了大范围的干旱、洪水、大规模人口迁移和物种灭绝。英国政府设定了一个雄心勃勃的目标，即到2035年将全国排放量减少78%，并在2025年之前在整个经济中引入强制性的排放测量和报告。但是，在没有内部可持续发展专业知识或昂贵的外包顾问的情况下，占英国企业99.9%的中小企业（SMEs）如何衡量和了解自己的排放量？对供应商的排放负有责任的大公司如何衡量和评估其（中小企业）供应链以达到排放目标？最重要的是，这些公司如何在不依赖抵消的情况下实际减少排放？减少排放的第一步是衡量生产商品和提供服务的实际过程。然而，目前的解决方案要么太昂贵，要么太有限，无法实现。为了解决这个问题，Neutreeno正在开发一个新的排放平台，使用行业标准的工程概念，帮助公司以经济实惠的方式计算其碳排放的足迹，以报告和缓解。它旨在帮助企业同时减少排放和生产成本，揭穿了“走向绿色”意味着更高成本的想法。该项目支持开发我们先进的碳计算器，使低碳转型更便宜、更快、更公平。Neutreeno是一家位于剑桥的小型企业，由气候科学家和工程师组成，利用剑桥大学的技术知识和专业知识，将工业转变为真正的零（而不是净）零。在创新英国的支持下，Neutreeno将能够产生广泛的影响，使多个行业的个人和企业能够减少碳足迹。

Climate change is one of the biggest threats that life on earth has ever faced. The slow, but dangerous, accumulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere has already promoted extreme weather conditions across the globe, precipitating widespread drought, flooding, mass population displacement and species extinction. The U.K. government has set an ambitious goal of reducing 78% of its national emissions by 2035 and has introduced mandatory emissions measurement and reporting across the economy by 2025\.But how do small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) -- comprising 99.9% of U.K. businesses -- measure and understand their emissions without in-house sustainability expertise or expensive, outsourced consultants? How do large corporations, who are responsible for their suppliers' emissions, measure and evaluate their (SME) supply chain to meet emissions targets? Most importantly, how will these companies actually reduce their emissions without relying on offsetting?The first step to reduce emissions is measuring the actual processes used to create goods and provide services. However, current solutions are either too expensive or, if affordable, too limited in scope to be practical. To tackle this issue, Neutreeno is developing a novel emissions platform using industry standard engineering concepts to help companies affordably calculate the footprint of their carbon emissions for reporting and mitigation. Designed to help companies reduce emissions and production costs simultaneously, it debunks the idea that "going green" means higher costs.This project supports the development of our advanced carbon calculator to make the low-carbon transition cheaper, faster and more equitable. Neutreeno is a small Cambridge-based business leveraging the University's technical knowledge and expertise comprised of climate scientists and engineers transitioning industry to real (not net) zero. With support from Innovate UK, Neutreeno will be able to achieve widespread impact, empowering people and businesses across multiple sectors reduce their carbon footprint.
