Details

The biofuels carbon calculator is for fuel suppliers to calculate the carbon saved on a batch of fuels.

The calculator:

  • calculates the carbon intensity of your biofuel on a consignment basis
  • includes all the biofuels, feedstocks and biofuel production processes
  • includes emissions from regional cultivation of biofuel feedstocks
  • generates monthly reports
  • retains information provided
  • can be run ‘offline’ on your own systems

The carbon calculator incorporates a dedicated portal for those users reporting under the Irish Biofuel Obligation Scheme (the BOS).

Software support is available at carboncalculator@e4tech.com.

Read further information on complying, reporting and verifying with the RTFO process for fuel suppliers, independent verifiers and those supplying road transport biofuels.
