It is difficult to measure emissions directly. Emissions may be deduced from energy consumption, as the combustion of one litre of diesel produces exactly 2.68 kg of CO₂. So, energy costs, CO₂ emissions and energy consumption are directly related to each other.

It is thus possible to identify the most effective saving-potentials by analysing the exact energy consumption within the supply chain. There are several methods and co₂lutions will help you choose and implement the right approach and evaluate the results. Such approaches may be:

• your company's carbon footprint, including or not including your partners and subcontractors, etc.
• the emissions your product causes during its lifetime
• the energy consumption of the buildings you work in

Each of these approaches will reveal different saving-potentials. Which approach is the right one for you, how to implement it best and how to gather the required data – co₂lutions will gladly be there to assist you.
