Data sits in many places
Invoices, meter exports, ERP purchases and production records rarely line up in one place.
Solutions · Manufacturing
From the production floor to a defensible carbon number.
Map your plants, lines and equipment, bring in electricity and gas from invoices and meters, and turn them into Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions — then carry the same data into product footprints and reduction plans.
For manufacturers that need plant-level visibility, product-level footprints and evidence that holds up in review.
The challenge
Energy data lives in plants; carbon questions arrive from everywhere
Customers ask about products
Buyers increasingly want the footprint of what you sell, not only your corporate total.
Reductions need proof
Efficiency projects are approved on estimates — few teams can show what actually changed afterwards.
What ErgOps gives manufacturers
One workspace from meter to footprint
Operational hierarchy
Model facilities and assets — production lines, boilers, compressors, chillers, solar systems — and map meters to them.
- Direct or shared meter mapping, with allocations that total 100%
- Submeter reconciliation against the parent meter
Energy to Scope 1 and 2
Upload electricity and gas invoices or import meter readings, choose source priority and factors, and run the utility carbon calculation.
- Only approved invoice values are used
- Missing data shows as “Needs data”, never as an estimate
Product carbon footprints
Build versioned footprints with bills of materials, allocated production energy, transport and waste.
- Cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, gate-to-gate or custom boundaries
- Energy allocated by production quantity, mass or machine hours
Plan and measure reductions
Compare facilities, set targets, rank initiatives by cost per tonne reduced and measure what changed after an action.
- Benchmarking across comparable facilities
- Decarbonization planner with a marginal abatement cost curve
- Verified Impact keeps expected, observed and verified apart
How it works
A practical path for a first plant
01
Model the plant
Add the facility, its main assets and its meters.
02
Bring in energy
Upload invoices or import meter readings, then review and approve.
03
Calculate and compare
Run the utility calculation and compare facilities like for like.
04
Act and prove it
Plan initiatives, assign actions and measure the result.
Framework readiness
Prepare for the frameworks manufacturers meet most
Readiness helps you organize requirements, controls and evidence.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Most teams start with electricity (Scope 2) and natural gas (Scope 1). Upload invoices or import meter readings in kWh and m³, choose the emission factors and run the utility carbon calculation.
Yes. The product carbon footprint wizard covers materials, production energy, transport, waste and allocation for a defined boundary and period. Footprints are versioned; finalized versions are locked.
No. When data or a factor is missing, results show “Needs data”. Data confidence is shown next to results so you can see how reliable they are.
