Evaluación comparativa de contrataciones de carbono

Measures that track carbon can be improved through better reporting: for example, self reporting by companies, better reporting within procurement itself. This includes carbon calculation as part of tender scoring during the procurement process.


A $5.5m taxi contract is being let, starting on 01/01/23 and ends on 01/01/28 
Bidders must estimate their yearly emissions with supporting evidence. 

Taxi Co reported yearly emissions to perform contract = 620 tonnes
Passengo reported yearly emissions to perform contract = 635 tonnes

Taxi Co wins the contract for $5 million or $1 million a year

This self report can be benchmarked against average for that category.

Taxi service's estimated carbon emissions/$ = 603.05 tonnes CO2/$ million
(620 tonnes - 603.05 tonnes) / 603.05 tonnes = 3%
This represents a 3% greater carbon emissions compared to market

This 5 year contract therefore yields 3100 tonnes of CO2
The industry average would generate 3015.25 tonnes over the same 5 years
This represents 84.75 tonnes in excess generation

This translates to 42,375 CO2 fire extinguishers
And would need 4138 trees to be planted to offset from average
