The demand for carbon accounting and CO2 data is increasing. HASLE Refractories experienced this increased demand and at the same time wanted to gain a deeper insight into their emissions. With help from Transition, HASLE Refractories made carbon accounting for 2022 and got a customized CO2 calculation tool.
HASLE Refractories develop, produce, and supply refractory materials to high-temperature industries, including the cement, electricity, waste, biomass, steel, glass and paper industries.
HASLE Refractories has previously prepared carbon accounting with the tool Klimakompasset. However, the company wanted to update their data and gain a better understanding of their emissions.
Carbon accounting and a tailored calculation tool
Transition helped HASLE Refractories prepare their carbon accounting for 2022 using our in-house developed carbon accounting tool. The tool is based on the GHG protocol and includes emissions from Scope 1, 2, and 3. To ensure carbon accounting with high data quality, we assisted with data collection and obtaining emission factors.
In addition to the carbon accounting for 2022, Transition has also prepared a tailored calculation tool based on data and emission factors from HASLE Refractories’ carbon accounting. The tool can estimate CO2e emissions at product level (from cradle-to-gate).
The tool gives the company deeper insight into the emissions of their products, which not only enables product optimization, but also strengthens their position in a market with an increasing demand for this type of data.
Anchoring the work within the company
HASLE Refractories wanted the results from their climate accounting and the CO2 calculation tool to be anchored internally with the company’s production employees and sales personel.
Therefore, Transition facilitated two workshops for HASLE Refactories, one in Bornholm for the company’s management and employees, and one in Copenhagen for their sales personel.
The two workshops gave the company’s employees a better insight into the work with sustainability and an understanding of both the carbon accounting and the products’ CO2e emissions. The two workshops also focused on how the insights and results can be used in the company going forward – both internally, but also in dialogue with customers.
