Decarbonisation route

From today's footprint to the target of tomorrow is a route with steps, costs and dependencies. We design the route: which measures, in which order, with which effect on emissions, cost and grid capacity.

What the route looks like

Steps with an order, and the reason for the order.

A route is not a ranking of good measures. It is a sequence in which each step waits on something specific, and below each step is the thing it waits on.

Sequence, not a forecast

The situation

Picture a reduction target and a list of possible measures, with no sense of which order makes them affordable or which of them depend on grid capacity that is not there yet. The list is not wrong. It simply cannot be scheduled.

01
Measure the baseline
Consumption per site and per carrier, allocated across own combustion, purchased energy and the chain.
Waits onMetering data per site, and a written organisational boundary. Without both, everything after this is an estimate.
02
Take what is already owed
The measures the saving obligation requires at sites above the threshold, separated out before anything is weighed.
Waits onThe recognised-measures list for your sector. These sit outside the trade-off rather than at the top of it.
03
Settle how you buy electricity
Standard supply, guarantees of origin bought deliberately, or a power purchase agreement.
Waits onA decision on the scope 2 method, because market-based and location-based reporting credit different purchases.
04
Ask the grid what is possible
What the connection can carry, for offtake and for feed-in, and what the queue looks like if it cannot.
Waits onA position from the grid operator on transport capacity at this connection. Congestion differs by direction and by location.
05
Electrify, and generate where the connection allows
Heat and process moved off gas, with own generation and storage added where there is room for them.
Waits onThe answer from the previous step. This is the step most often scheduled before the capacity is known, and it is where routes slip.
06
Decide what to do with the residual
What is left once the steps above have been taken, and which instruments are appropriate for it.
Waits onThe steps above measured rather than projected. What remains is only knowable at the end.

The order is a dependency, not a preference.

Electrification cannot be scheduled before the grid operator has answered, and the answer can take longer than the installation. Routes that slip usually slipped here, before anyone bought anything.

Step two is not part of the trade-off.

Measures required by the saving obligation are owed regardless of what the route concludes. Ranking them alongside optional investments is the mistake that makes a plan look larger than the decision actually is.

We deliberately do not draw a curve here.

How fast a footprint falls depends on your own measurements and on decisions not yet taken. A pathway drawn before step one is a drawing, not a route, and it is the part a board will later hold you to.

A general sequence and the conditions that gate each step. No footprint, target, timeline or investment figure is shown, because those follow from the first step rather than preceding it.

How we approach it

From question to execution

01
We determine the starting point: consumption, emissions, installations.
02
We inventory the measures and their effect, cost and dependencies.
03
We put them in order, including grid capacity and financing.
04
You receive a route with milestones, updated as you progress.

What it yields

This is what changes for you

A realistic path from footprint to target
Measures ordered by effect and feasibility
Grid capacity and financing included from the start

One partner for everything around your energy

We calculate, arrange and execute: procurement on the exchanges, steering of your assets, grid capacity, sustainability and subsidies. Independent, not a supplier, not a comparison site. A conversation is free of obligation.
