Carbon Accounting

Calculate real carbon emissions from verified energy consumption attestations. EnergyAS provides the ground truth that carbon accounting tools need.

The Challenge

Scope 2 emissions — indirect emissions from purchased energy — are notoriously difficult to measure accurately. Most companies rely on regional grid averages or utility estimates, not actual metered consumption. The result is carbon accounting that is more fiction than fact.

Verified Consumption Data

With EnergyAS, a facility can attest its actual energy consumption at regular intervals. These attestations are on-chain, timestamped, and tied to a specific project. Carbon accounting tools can then calculate emissions from verified data instead of estimates.

The method field in each attestation indicates how the data was collected — IoT metering, manual reading, or estimation. Auditors can see at a glance which readings are meter-verified and which are estimated.

Scope 2 Reporting

By combining consumption attestations with energy source data (from generator project attestations), it becomes possible to calculate facility-level Scope 2 emissions with real data — not averages. A data center powered by a specific solar farm can prove its energy source, not just claim it.
