Decarbonalize, our CO₂ calculation tool

Calculating your organization's CO₂ emissions

The clock is ticking. We only have limited time left to make the transition to a sustainable future. It is key that all organizations – big and small – take responsibility. We believe that becoming aware of your organization’s CO₂ footprint is a crucial step in moving forward.

Our team helps many organizations with calculating and reducing their CO₂ emissions. This can be a complex matter that requires expertise. For some organizations, for example those with a small budget, little time, or limited sustainability knowledge, it can prove to be difficult to gather insight into their CO₂ emissions themselves. As we believe this should be achievable for everyone, we have developed a free, transparent, and publicly available CO₂ calculation tool. Together we can ensure that everyone plays their part in accelerating the transition to a sustainable world.

*Please note that this tool is currently only available in Dutch

Why we have developed a publicly available CO₂ tool

We think it is important that everyone has the right tools to work on climate plans. Calculating a carbon footprint should be freely accessible and understandable to everyone. That inclusion is important to us. With our calculation tool, everyone can calculate their own organization’s CO₂ footprint. After that, you can start with setting credible reduction goals and developing plans to achieve them.

By working together on a cleaner economy and society, we keep our planet habitable. Mapping and reducing CO₂ emissions leads to creative entrepreneurship, improved business results and future-proof organizations.

How can you calculate your CO₂ emissions with Decarbonalize?

You can use our tool to calculate your scope 1, 2 and part of your scope 3 emissions. All you need in order to do so, is have your company data at hand. Our tool is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This is worldwide the most widely used standard and is also part of laws and regulations. This allows you to calculate your CO₂ emissions professionally.

What do you gain from insight into your organization's CO₂ emissions?

Gaining insight into your CO₂ emissions prepares you to future-proof your organization. Decarbonalize is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which is part of emerging laws and regulations, but also customer and other stakeholder requirements. By using the tool, you will already be familiar with your sustainability data and have made a start with your climate plans.
You have a clear idea about where you can save on costs. For example, by reducing your energy consumption, you can emit less CO₂ and save on your energy bill at the same time.
Depending on the organization, understanding your footprint can have all kinds of other benefits. These include meeting supplier obligations, access to better loan terms from capital providers and reputational benefits to customers.
