Operating in a carbon constrained world
Phylleos empowers clients to envision their sustainable futures and flatten emissions curves.
Organizational Carbon Exposure
Enterprises have varying levels of awareness of the emissions embedded in their operations, purchases, and supply chains. Phylleos enhances the ability to independently calculate both direct and implicit carbon content. Phylleos offers clients empirically and logically rigorous carbon content analysis that both transparent and defensible, along with the ability to predicting future emissions and explore alternate futures via our simulation systems.
Technological Readiness
What are the implications of technological transition for your organizations strategic platform? How will emerging technologies change the playing field, both in terms of challenges and opportunities, for business leaders and policy makers? In the context of real-world market and regulatory constraints, are emerging technologies beneficial in terms of serving the dual imperatives of economic and environmental sustainability? Are they economically viable, nor or in the future? How does public policy need to adapt to enhance their viability? Phylleos’ can help you analyze an unlimited array of scenarios, helping you better understand new and emerging technologies and what is required for them to succeed.
Carbon Content of Supply Chains
Standard life cycle analysis involves the estimation of carbon emissions in supply chains, including scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Phylleos goes further, leveraging a wider array of traditional and non-traditional data sources and powerful in-house analytical and simulation methods to help clients better understand the direct and implicit carbon content in supply chains down to the final products produced.
The Phylleos approach is built on a comprehensive exploitation of information. To better understand both the implications of human activity for climate change and the opportunities for action, we draw on the connections between the economic, policy, energy, technology, and environmental spheres. Where data is scarce, we leverage related information and apply our cutting-edge analytical methods to bridge gaps and increase detail. And we are continually developing new and more powerful ways to help you build deeper knowledge and reduce uncertainty.
We understand that coal-fired electricity emissions begin with the technology of coal combustion furnaces. But we also know that a dollar’s-worth of coal-fired electricity sold to customers includes embedded emissions from fossil-fuel powered vehicles used at the plant, the gas combusted to heat the staff lunch-room in winter, the emissions from road, rail and water transportation that delivered the coal, and even from the deforestation that supplied wood to the manufacturer of pencils used in the office.
We combine direct, observational information about emissions with data on economic flows, production technology, and supply chains to build a more comprehensive picture of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
