Decarbonization & Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management 

Empowering clients to avoid, measure, manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while planning practical pathways to decarbonization

Decarb_GHG-155098898

Pressure to decarbonize is accelerating and translating ambition into practical, cost-effective pathways remains a major challenge.

We work with clients to turn greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and decarbonization goals into action. Combining engineering, data and delivery solutions, we quantify emissions, set baselines and build practical net zero roadmaps — embedding emissions reduction across assets, infrastructure, fleets, facilities and supply chains.

Cutting emissions across assets, operations and supply chains 

Aligning carbon data, technology and investment to accelerate practical, scalable decarbonization

  • Decarbonization

    From ambition to delivery

    Combining strategy, engineering and program management to move beyond target setting — delivering practical, scalable decarbonization solutions across assets, infrastructure, supply chains and portfolios.

  • Decarbonization

    Whole system decarbonization

    Addressing emissions across the full lifecycle — Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy) and Scope 3 (value chain) — integrating energy, process, technology and operational transitions to achieve measurable, long-term impact. 

  • Data

    Data-driven, investment ready

    Using robust modeling, marginal abatement cost analysis and performance tracking, we turn complex carbon data into clear investment pathways that align climate targets with financial performance and technical readiness. 

Understanding emissions and how to reduce them

From baselines and targets to investment decisions and supply chain action

Organizations measure greenhouse gas emissions by developing an inventory that quantifies Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions using recognized reporting standards and activity data. 

A marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) is an analytical tool that compares emissions reduction options based on their cost and impact. It enables organizations to prioritize the most cost-effective measures to decrease emissions and guide capital investment decisions. 

Companies can reduce Scope 3 emissions through multiple strategies, including characterizing their baseline, understanding the materiality of emissions on the value chain, engaging suppliers and influencing procurement, redesigning products and adopting lower-carbon materials and technologies across the supply chain. 

Low-emission solutions reduce greenhouse gas emissions across assets, operations and value chains. They include energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy, clean hydrogen and other technologies that lower whole-life carbon while maintaining performance.  

Decarbonization strategies support sustainability framework reporting by linking emission baselines, transition plans and risk analysis to financial disclosure requirements. Clear targets, measurable progress, governance assurance and scenario analysis strengthen regulatory compliance and investor confidence. 

Science-Based Targets are emission reduction targets aligned with the latest climate science to limit global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C. Organizations align by establishing verified greenhouse gas baselines through the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), setting near- and long-term reduction targets across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, and implementing measurable transition plans.
