Our buyer now wants carbon data every quarter. How do we keep up?
Build the quarter from the same records you already keep: electricity bills, fuel invoices and production. Close each month as it ends, so the quarter is three months added up, not a scramble. Send the same fields in the same format every time, and flag any estimate.
Monthly routine
- Collect the month's power and fuel bills.
- Record production for the month.
- Work out emissions and intensity per unit.
- Note anything estimated and why.
What buyers compare
Quarter on quarter intensity. Explain swings from production mix or one-off events before they ask.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
