Green Tech & Climate Tech

Scope 1: direct emissions from owned sources (fuel burned on site). Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased electricity/heat. Scope 3: all other value-chain emissions, such as suppliers, transport and product use.

A coefficient that converts activity data (e.g. kWh, litres of diesel) into greenhouse-gas emissions (kg CO₂e).

Carbon dioxide equivalent: a way to express different greenhouse gases in terms of the warming impact of CO₂ over a set period.

Solar and wind output vary with weather. Accurate forecasts help grid operators balance supply and demand, reduce backup fossil generation and plan storage.

Use less compute (efficient code, right-sized infrastructure), run flexible workloads when and where electricity is cleaner (carbon-aware computing), and reduce data transfer and storage.

A method to measure the environmental impact of a product across its whole life — raw materials, manufacturing, transport, use and disposal.

Mitigation reduces emissions to limit climate change; adaptation reduces harm from climate impacts already happening, like floods and heatwaves.

Check data completeness and sources, use consistent emission factors, reconcile with invoices/meter readings, flag outliers, and document assumptions for auditors.

An electricity network that uses sensors, communication and automation to balance supply and demand, integrate renewables and respond to faults quickly.

It provides consistent, large-area measurements of floods, deforestation, crop health, urban heat and emissions sources, especially where ground data is limited.
