NEW! - STS Develop Carbon Audit Tool


For organisations wanting to come up with an accurate measure of their carbon 'footprint' STS have developed a comprehensive transport carbon auditing tool.  The spreadsheet tool provides a user friendly method for quantifying all transport carbon emissions that might arise from an organisation’s activities; including fleet vehicle emissions, employee business travel emissions and employee commuting emissions.

The tool has been designed to allow users to specify different methodologies depending upon what data they have available.  For example car emissions can be calculated from either fuel usage or mileage.  The tool also calculates all upstream fuel emissions, taking into account emissions from the extraction, production and distribution of a fuel as well as what comes out of the vehicle exhaust.  This enables more robust comparisons to be made between different fuels such as biofuels and electric.

Commenting on the tool STS’s Simon Collings said “whether its used by local authorities for complying with NI 185 or by companies to demonstrate their environmental performance this tool will be invaluable for organisations wanting to measure and monitor their transport carbon emissions.”
