Carbon Management

What is carbon management?

Measurements made by enterprises to monitor, control, and lower the number of carbon emissions along the supply chain is referred to as “carbon management.”

It primarily identifies various sources of carbon emissions and works on eliminating or mitigating them through the use of renewable energy, optimizing systems and recycling.

How do you manage carbon emissions?

Carbon offsets, which include balancing carbon emission with carbon capture, are one of the most efficient strategies to control carbon. A firm should ensure that every link in its supply chain is working to reduce carbon emissions; as a beginning point, businesses may insist on only working with environmentally friendly vendors. When efficient machinery is used, operational expenses are reduced and the environment is not negatively affected as much.

Carbon emissions are significantly influenced by logistics. Utilizing hybrid or electric vehicles, optimizing routes, taking shared routes, managing traffic, etc., all help to reduce it. Lastly, using recycled materials and commodities is preferable to raising the environmental cost of making a new product.

What are the benefits of carbon management?

• Emissions of carbon are tracked and managed as part of carbon management. These serve as proof of no greenwashing and help establish trust.
• Carbon management reduces carbon emissions by improving efficiency, using less energy, and spending less money.
• Helps to obtain incentives and tax benefits by keeping one’s reputation in good standing with the public, the government, and regulatory agencies.
• The carbon market allows for the trading or offsetting of carbon credits.

What is a carbon footprint?

The term “carbon footprint” describes the volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a result of a specific person, group, or community’s activity.

What is Life cycle analysis?

It is the methodical evaluation of the potential environmental effects that a product may have already had or may have in the future over its entire life cycle, which includes the acquisition of basic raw materials, processing, distribution, recycling, and disposal.
