Emvide is more than just a tool; it’s a transformative platform designed to empower organisations to achieve their sustainability goals with precision and efficiency. Our AI-driven Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) platform offers unparalleled value by enabling quick, accurate, and comprehensive environmental impact assessments. Here’s how Emvide delivers value to your organisation:
To truly achieve net zero, organisations must address the challenge of Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 encompasses all indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions. This is often the most complex and challenging part of carbon accounting due to the difficulty in obtaining accurate data across the product lifecycle.
If we want to meet our net zero targets, focusing on Scope 3 is imperative. It often represents the largest portion of an organisation's carbon footprint, yet it is the most difficult to quantify and manage. To get accurate emissions associated with procurement for Scope 3, organisations are going to have to provide more accurate embodied emissions details for the products and services they provide. You need to undertake a Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) in order to get these details. The issue is that the traditional methods of conducting LCAs are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and often fall short in providing the detailed insights needed for effective Scope 3 management. We intend to change this with Emvide.
To better understand the complexities of Scope 3 emissions and the necessity for a tool like Emvide, let’s look at two critical diagrams:
This diagram illustrates the broad spectrum of GHG emissions, divided into Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions). Within Scope 3, categories such as C1-2 (purchased goods and services) and C10-12 (use of sold products and end-of-life treatment) are particularly challenging. These areas are often the hardest to measure due to the extensive data required from multiple sources across the value chain. Emvide was built to address these challenges by providing a streamlined, AI-powered platform that can handle complex data and provide accurate emissions reporting.
Traditional LCA processes are often plagued by high time-consuming areas such as data collection, validation, and report generation. This flow diagram shows the bottlenecks and inefficiencies in traditional methods, which can delay critical sustainability initiatives. Emvide’s advanced algorithms and AI capabilities significantly reduce these time-consuming steps, allowing for rapid data processing and analysis. This efficiency enables organisations to quickly identify and address key carbon hotspots, making the journey to net zero more achievable.
Let's take a real world example to give some context....
Imagine a company with 1,000 products, obtaining accurate embodied emissions data manually is a daunting task. If an LCA consultant/professional takes 3-5 days to analyse each product, this would equate to 3,000 to 5,000 days of work. Assuming a 5-day workweek, this translates to 600 to 1,000 weeks, or approximately 11.5 to 19 years. In stark contrast, Emvide can deliver accurate results in just 5-10 minutes per product. This means the entire portfolio can be benchmarked in roughly 83 to 167 hours, or about 2 to 4 weeks. This immense time saving allows businesses to make faster, more informed decisions, significantly accelerating their journey towards net zero.
