Unclear emissions?
Define what the assessment covers, map the relevant sources and identify the data needed.
Carbon & Energy AssessmentKnow where you stand.
Know where you stand.
Find where to start.
Turn utility bills and operating records into a clearer picture of your carbon footprint and energy priorities.
Your records hold
the starting point.
Unexplained consumption?
Review energy use alongside operating hours, production and major equipment to identify questions worth investigating.
Gaps in the information?
Document missing records and assumptions so the next measurement or data request has a clear purpose.
What VR1 can help you prepare.
A baseline and a practical next-step brief
CarbonScan supports activity records and emissions calculations. VR1 helps interpret the information, organise evidence and identify where a more detailed technical assessment is needed.
The agreed output can include an emissions summary, energy-use review, data-gap register and a shortlist of opportunities for further evaluation.
Decide what to investigate next.
An initial assessment is not a substitute for a specialist engineering audit or independent GHG verification. The scope is agreed before work starts.
Energy-saving opportunities
Review potential improvements in lighting, cooling, equipment and operations.
Explore energy savings →A reduction plan
Set priorities around your baseline, resources and business needs.
Explore transition planning →A specific project
Evaluate the technical scope and commercial case before committing.
Prepare the project case →Connect records with operations.
Review available bills and operating data alongside the equipment and processes that use energy.

Learning alongside action
Explore Carbon Scan Academy
Help the people collecting data and making decisions understand carbon measurement and reporting. Explore the Academy and its course catalogue to find training relevant to your team.
Training is an optional support for your transition. Course completion does not establish net-zero status or independent verifier approval.

Existing users can open the CarbonScan application. If you need help getting started, speak with VR1 about an appropriate assessment and onboarding scope.
Why measure carbon?
Because business decisions need evidence.
From a customer request to a lower energy bill: start with the business problem, then choose the right assessment and action.
Respond to customer requests
Organise emissions information and supporting records for buyer questionnaires and tenders.
