3.1.2 Carbon Footprint Organization Calculation Tool
In the context of the Clim’Foot project, the Bilan Carbone® Clim’Foot tool has
been developed and used for the voluntary program. The tool has been developed
starting from the French tool “Bilan Carbone®” by ADEME, in collaboration with
the Association Bilan Carbone (ABC), and is currently managed by ABC. More in
detail, the Bilan Carbone® has been adapted to the national contexts of the Clim’Foot
partners through the integration of the national and European EF databases developed
during the project.
The Bilan Carbone® Clim’Foot allows the GHG accounting in compliance
with the GHG Protocol [6] and ISO standard 14064-1 [8] and provides formats
for reporting accordingly. It consists of an Excel file including the following
spreadsheets:
• A first spreadsheet, where to describe the organization performing the CFO and to
select the approach to the CFO calculation (financial control, operational control,
share of capital)
• Several spreadsheets to fill in the main activity categories described below
• A spreadsheet reporting all emission factors available for the calculation
• A supporting spreadsheet including references for conversion between several
units of measure describing activity data
• Four spreadsheets reporting results in terms of graphs, CO2eq general overview,
summary results tables compliant to ISO standard and to the GHG Protocol.
The Bilan Carbone® Clim’Foot tool allows GHG emissions calculation for all
activities considered in the value chain of an organization, structured into 10 main
categories:
• Energy sources, where it is possible to account for emissions from heat and
electricity consumption
