Decarbonization

GHG Inventory & Emissions Accounting

Our decarbonization process begins with setting up a comprehensive GHG inventory, quantifying emissions across:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., company facilities, vehicles).
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling.
• Scope 3: Indirect emissions from upstream and downstream activities are often the largest component of an organization’s carbon footprint.

Scope 1: Direct Emissions

• Emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization.
• It includes fuel combustion, company vehicles, and industrial processes.

Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from Purchased Energy

• Emissions generated from the production of electricity, steam, heating, or cooling that a business purchases for operations
• We help businesses assess energy efficiency measures and explore renewable energy options to reduce Scope 2 emissions

Scope 3: Indirect Emissions Across the Value ChainScope 3 emissions often account for the largest portion of an organization’s carbon footprint, making them critical for decarbonization strategies. We conduct detailed Scope 3 assessments covering all 15 reporting categories, including:

• Purchased goods and services – Emissions from raw materials and supply chain activities
• Employee commuting & business travel – Transportation-related emissions from daily operations
• Waste disposal – Emissions from landfill, recycling, and waste-to-energy processes
• Transportation & distribution – Logistics-related emissions for goods transportation
• Use of sold products & end-of-life treatment – Emissions from product lifecycle and disposal

Decarbonization Strategy & Roadmaps

We develop custom decarbonization strategies, including:

• Net Zero Roadmaps aligned with the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
• Carbon Neutral Roadmaps to achieve operational and value-chain decarbonization
• Emission reduction strategies, including energy efficiency, electrification, and renewable energy integration

Strategy & Implementation

CDP is a global environmental reporting platform focusing on climate change, water security, and deforestation.

At Clenergize, we go beyond planning—we support end-to-end implementation. Our team:

• Identifies and integrates energy efficiency measures and carbon reduction initiatives
• Supports in deploying renewable energy solutions and low-carbon technologies
• Implements GHG monitoring tools for real-time emissions tracking
• Assists in securing green financing and incentives for decarbonization projects

Climate Risk & Vulnerability Assessments

Understanding and mitigating climate risks is essential for long-term resilience. Our Climate Risk Assessments and Vulnerability Assessments help businesses:

• Identify physical risks (e.g., extreme weather, rising temperatures, resource scarcity)
• Assess transitional risks (e.g., policy changes, carbon pricing, investor expectations)
• Strengthen business continuity plans to mitigate climate-related disruptions

TCFD Reporting

Transparency in climate-related risks is critical for investors and regulators. We help organizations align with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, covering:

• Governance and climate strategy integration
• Climate risk management frameworks
• Metrics, targets, and scenario analysis

CDP & SBTi Reporting

We support organizations in disclosing climate-related data through global ESG disclosures platforms and frameworks:

• CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project): We assist in data collection, impact analysis, and submission, helping businesses improve CDP scores and demonstrate sustainability leadership
• SBTi (Science-Based Targets Initiative): We help organizations develop science-aligned decarbonization targets, ensuring compliance with Net Zero and carbon neutrality commitments

Financed Emissions for Banks

Financed emissions are essentially greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a bank’s lending and investment activities (not Banks’ direct operations). These emissions come under Scope 3, Category 15 (Investments) in the GHG Protocol. These are often a large portion of a financial institution’s carbon footprint. Financial institutions play a pivotal role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. At Clenergize, we help banks and investors assess and mitigate financed emissions, ensuring climate-aligned lending and investment strategies.

Our services include:

• Assessing financed emissions using the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) methodology
• Aligning investment portfolios with Net Zero targets and sustainable finance principles
• Developing sector-specific decarbonization strategies for climate-aligned financing
• Implementing ESG and climate-risk metrics to measure portfolio-level emissions
• Ongoing monitoring and reporting to demonstrate progress in reducing financed emissions

California Carbon Law Compliance

The California Carbon Law mandates stringent GHG reductions for businesses operating in California, aligning with global climate targets. At Clenergize, we provide:

• Regulatory compliance guidance for businesses subject to California’s carbon laws
• Decarbonization strategy alignment with state and federal climate policies
• Implementation support to meet GHG reduction obligations

• Expertise in Net Zero & Carbon Neutral strategies
• Comprehensive Scope 1, 2 & 3 assessments
• Science-Based Targets & ESG regulatory compliance
• End-to-end implementation of decarbonization initiatives
• Financed emissions assessment & sustainable finance guidance
