TRANSPARENT CARBON PERFORMANCE
speeds up the transition, in complete freedom
20 years into the transition, citizens and economic players still do not have the essential information they need when deciding between equivalent offers: what is their carbon performance?
Making carbon performance transparent will ensure the success of the transition.
The carbon economy promoted by Carbones sur factures and others makes carbon performance easy for suppliers to prove and for customers to factor in:
– The carbon performance of purchases with their carbon content
– The carbon performance of investments with their carbon profitability.
– The carbon performance of maritime or land surfaces with their natural captures of carbon.

Greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere are the cause of climate change, the disruption of the water cycle and are one of the main reasons for the loss of biodiversity. Their common unit of measurement is the weight in CO2 equivalents : the weight of each gas is reduced to the weight of CO2 (the main greenhouse gas or carbon dioxide) which would have the same greenhouse effect over the same period of time (100 years).
A product’s money performance is its price: the total costs that went into producing what the customer buys.
Its carbon performance is its carbon content: all the net greenhouse gas emissions required to produce what the customer buys (also called footprint, cumulative emissions, upstream scopes 1, 2 and 3…).
The money performance of a project (or its financing) is its profitability: it compares how much money the project will bring in, with the money it requires to be invested in the first place.
Its carbon performance is its carbon profitability: it compares how much carbon the project will remove from the atmosphere, with the carbon that the project obliges to emit in the first place.
As with money, carbon profitability can be positive or negative.
