How does Carbon Clear measure carbon footprints?
Carbon Clear bases its carbon footprint measurements on the ISO 14064 standard. ISO 14064 is essentially identical to the older WRI/ GHG Protocol employed by the Carbon Disclosure Project, and we will use the older standard if requested. Carbon Clear calculates emissions by looking at the main activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere – transport, energy consumption, resource use. Then we use internationally recognised conversion factors to determine how the CO2 emissions that activity represents.
