We are fully committed to supporting our clients on their journey to net zero, helping them manage and reduce emissions for both existing assets and new developments across multiple sectors. Emissions reduction is the first step in understanding a company’s or facility’s emissions profile, forming the foundation for developing effective reduction strategies. This goes beyond regulatory reporting, as it focuses on analysing emissions holistically to create actionable pathways toward net zero, recognising that companies are at different stages of their journey.
Scope 1 and 2 Emissions: The first stage in emissions reduction is identifying the sources of emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Using advanced tools, io can analyse and estimate Scope 1 and 2 emissions on an hourly basis, providing detailed insights into the intensity, frequency and causes of emissions. We evaluate how equipment, such as gas turbines, boilers, compressors and pumps, is operated to identify opportunities for emissions reduction. Solutions range from near-term operational changes, like improving efficiency and addressing intermittent flaring, to mid-term equipment upgrades and long-term investments in projects like electrification, carbon capture and hydrogen conversion. Through techno-economic analysis, io develops tailored roadmaps and targets that align with different regulatory regimes and government commitments.
Fugitive emissions: while a smaller part of overall GHG emissions, are a significant source of methane, which has a much higher global warming potential over a 20-year period. Reducing methane releases is essential in combating climate change, and io advises on Leak Detection And Repair (LDAR) strategies, technologies, and compliance with OGMP2.0 and Responsibly Sourced Gas (RSG) standards.
Scope 3 emissions: which include emissions from the value chain, often make up the largest portion of an organisation’s carbon footprint. io helps clients estimate Scope 3 emissions and develop reduction strategies, which may involve technical, commercial, and strategic solutions. Given the complexity of the value chain, Scope 3 abatement often requires a strategic approach, involving alignment across the entire supply chain to achieve meaningful reductions.
