Industrial Emissions Intelligence Framework

Scope 1–3, ETS Exposure, MAC Curve, Site Ranking

This system view models multi-site Scope 1–3 emissions as a capital and risk architecture. It links ETS exposure, allowance coverage, marginal abatement cost, and site readiness into a decision framework for prioritizing decarbonization investments.

Prototype environment. Illustrative data.

What it visualizes

  • emissions baseline and price sensitivity (EU-ETS)
  • allowance coverage vs unhedged exposure and forecast risk
  • site-level ranking by carbon cost, intensity, and transition readiness
  • abatement levers with cost/tCO₂, CAPEX, payback, and execution risk
  • pathway gap vs carbon budget to 2030

Used for

  • prioritizing decarbonization investments based on carbon cost
  • identifying high-impact abatement levers with optimal ROI
  • validating pathway gaps against carbon budget targets
