net-zero transition opportunity scoping review

The SmartOSR™ Solution

Plan a decarbonisation pathway for your net-zero transition

We develop scoped opportunities that will define the pathway to your net-zero transition

SmartOSR is a cutting-edge opportunity scoping process that identifies and prioritises energy efficiency and carbon reduction projects, resulting in positive productivity impacts across your operation. 

Unlock hidden potential with opportunity scoping

Our process establishes the current state of your operation’s energy balance, resulting in a clear understanding of what projects and targets are to be implemented to improve its operational performance.

We develop meaningful and effective energy, carbon emissions abatement and productivity targets aligned with your business’s strategic objectives.

Our Energy, Carbon and Productivity Management Plan links these scoped, high-impact opportunities to the achievement of these developed targets.

Charting a course for the net-zero transition

The Scope of Work includes identifying opportunities for Energy Efficiency Improvement and Carbon Emissions reduction projects. This involves:

  1. Conducting a current state review of the operation to establish a baseline, an inventory of energy consumption and carbon emissions, benchmarking energy intensity and determining energy flow to identify useful energy and energy losses
  2. Developing projections for energy consumption and carbon emissions for the agreed estimated period
  3. Formulating a portfolio of energy efficiency improvement and carbon emissions reduction projects
  4. Assessing the impact of the projects on energy consumption and carbon emissions projections
  5. Generating Business Cases for priority opportunities
  6. Presenting a Final Report
