Emissions Reporting Across
Heavy Industry

Product emissions data is currently collected and shared across supply chains using inconsistent methodologies and incompatible data formats. This leads to inaccurate emissions disclosures and inefficient data transfers from production to the end product. The lack of comparable and transparent product-level data — along with challenges in the effective application of such data — hinders informed business decisions and impedes industry-wide decarbonization efforts.

With the support of industry leaders, the Horizon Zero project has commenced a series of pilot tests to enable consistent emissions calculation and streamlined emissions data transfer at each stage of industrial supply chains. The case studies below examine the benefits and efficacy of sector-specific Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reporting Guidance documents and accompanying Excel tools and data formats that allow for next-generation emissions accounting in hard-to-abate sectors.
