About This Carbon & GHG Assessment Tool

This free Carbon and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Assessment Tool is designed for SMEs, commercial buildings, corporate offices, warehouses, and mid-size industrial facilities in India and globally. It provides a structured, indicative estimate of your organisation's total annual CO₂e emissions across all three GHG Protocol scopes.

What Are Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions?

🏭 Scope 1 — DirectEmissions from sources your organisation owns or controls: diesel generators, company vehicles, gas boilers, and on-site fuel combustion.
⚡ Scope 2 — EnergyIndirect emissions from purchased electricity. Typically the largest category for offices and commercial buildings. Reducible via renewable energy procurement.
🚛 Scope 3 — IndirectAll other indirect emissions across your value chain: employee commuting, business travel, waste disposal, water use, and supply chain activities.

Emission Factors Used in This Tool

This tool uses internationally recognised emission factors based on the GHG Protocol and IPCC guidelines:

  • Diesel / Petrol: 2.6 kg CO₂e per litre
  • Natural Gas / LPG: 2.9 kg CO₂e per kg
  • Company Vehicles: 0.21 kg CO₂e per km
  • India Grid Electricity: 0.82 kg CO₂e per kWh (CEA, 2023)
  • Air Travel: 0.15 kg CO₂e per km
  • Employee Commute: 0.21 kg CO₂e per km
  • Waste (Landfill): 0.5 kg CO₂e per kg
  • Water Treatment: 0.0003 kg CO₂e per litre

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free to use?
Yes. This Carbon & GHG Emissions Assessment Tool is completely free, requires no signup, and is non-binding. It provides an indicative estimate to help you understand your emissions profile before engaging in a formal carbon audit.
How accurate is this carbon footprint calculator?
This tool provides a directional estimate using standard emission factors aligned with the GHG Protocol. It is not a replacement for a certified carbon audit. Actual emissions may vary depending on your specific operations, energy mix, and supply chain. We recommend this as a first step toward understanding your carbon exposure.
What is a carbon audit and why do I need one?
A carbon audit is a professional, verified assessment of your organisation's GHG emissions. It provides certified emissions data required for ESG reporting, regulatory compliance (such as BRSR in India), carbon credit projects, and Science Based Targets (SBTi) alignment. It goes far beyond this indicative assessment.
Which Indian regulation requires GHG reporting?
The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) mandates Scope 1 and Scope 2 disclosures for the top 1,000 listed companies in India (SEBI mandate). Scope 3 disclosure is increasingly expected. Many global supply chains also require GHG data from Indian suppliers as part of their ESG due diligence.
Can SMEs and warehouses use this tool?
Absolutely. This tool is specifically designed for SMEs, warehouses, commercial buildings, corporate offices, and mid-size industrial operations. The questions and emission factors are calibrated for these business types, not individual households.
Disclaimer: This tool provides an indicative estimate of GHG emissions based on user-submitted data and standard emission factors. Results are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a certified carbon audit or professional environmental assessment. Emission factors are based on GHG Protocol methodology and CEA/IPCC reference data. Actual emissions may vary. This assessment does not replace a professional carbon audit conducted by a qualified environmental consultant. © Elion Technologies and Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
