Model: CO2L, Carbon Footprint for companies
Advanced, easy to use and with extensive database
CO2L ("c-o-tool") is a sophisticated, yet easy to use model to calculate a carbon footprint (CF) of your company, production processes and / or products.
A CO2-footprint (carbon footprint or CF) is a measure for the emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG, mainly carbon dioxide CO2, methane CH4 and nitrous oxide N2O) that is attributable to a specific consumption, production, product, company or a region or country.
A carbon footprint of a company results in a total for all GHG emissions (expressed in CO2 equivalents) that can be attributed to that company. A CF can be expressed in absolute units (eg kilotonnes) or in a relative unit (eg tonnes CO2-equivalents per tonne production, per employee or per million earned €).
The CF-model is fully compiled in Excel. Anyone with some experience in the use of Excel can use the model easily.
CO2L includes a large database of emission factors (in terms of CO2-equivalents) of all kinds of (green) energy, substances and raw materials in the production chain 'upstream' ('cradle-to-gate').
The database can be expanded with new items, eg emission factors of materials and (semi-) products from your own suppliers.
Within the model, the total footprint can be differentiated into separate products, processes or company locations.
The model is very flexible and can be customized upon request.
The complete CO2L model with extensive database costs € 30 and is available on request by sending an e-mail to TME (details on the contact page).
If you wish to get the complete model with some support (up to 2 hours), the all-in costs are € 99. In addition, extensive support of TME is possible.
FREE to use fully functional demo version
By the links below a fully functional demo version of CO2L and a manual for the model is freely available.
The demo model works exact the same way as the full model. However, the demo version has a few limitations compared to the full model:
the database of the demo model is limited and cannot be modified or extended by the user
the demo model contains fewer lines per heading
The demo version of CO2L for companies is a spreadsheet-file (266 kB).
The manual for the model is a pdf-file (131 kB).
