The challenge
What energy & utilities are facing
Complex Scope 1 from generation and treatment
Combustion in power generation, methane from water treatment, process emissions from gas networks — energy and utility Scope 1 is technically complex and requires sector-specific calculation methods.
Regulatory reporting per licence
Ofgem and Ofwat require environmental reporting tied to specific licences and operational permits. This is granular, site-specific reporting that goes beyond company-level SECR.
Fugitive emissions are hard to track
SF₆ from electrical switchgear, methane from gas distribution, nitrous oxide from water treatment — fugitive emissions are significant but often poorly measured because they don't show up on energy bills.
TCFD mandatory disclosure
As large, often listed companies, energy and utility firms face mandatory TCFD. This requires climate risk assessment and scenario analysis alongside operational emissions data.
SF₆ has a global warming potential 23,500 times that of CO₂. A single switchgear leak can dwarf months of energy-related emissions.
The solution
How Climatise helps
Industrial process calculations
Sector-specific Scope 1 calculations for generation, treatment, and distribution operations.
See this feature →Fugitive emission tracking
Calculate emissions from SF₆, methane, refrigerants, and other fugitive sources using sector-appropriate methodology.
Regulator-ready reports
Generate reports in the format Ofgem and Ofwat require, tied to specific licence conditions.
See this feature →TCFD disclosure support
Metrics and targets for your TCFD disclosure, generated from the same data set as your regulatory reporting.
Common questions
Energy & Utilities carbon reporting FAQ
Climatise includes calculation methods for SF₆ (from electrical switchgear), methane (from gas distribution and water treatment), and refrigerant losses. You input the activity data — top-up quantities, leak rates, asset inventories — and the platform applies the correct global warming potentials.
Yes. Data can be tagged to specific sites, licences, or operational permits. Generate reports at whatever level of granularity your regulator requires.
Water companies use Climatise to track operational carbon across treatment works, pumping stations, and offices. Under AMP8, water companies have specific carbon reduction targets that flow down to their supply chain.
