Plan decarbonization investments
The Decarbonization Planner compares reduction initiatives by cost per tonne of CO₂e reduced and helps you choose a portfolio that fits your budget.
Open Plan → Decarbonization.
Add initiatives#
Select Add Initiative and enter, for each project:
- capital cost, operating cost and expected savings
- lifetime and discount rate
- the emissions scope it reduces and the expected reduction
- confidence in the estimate
- groups for initiatives that overlap or exclude each other (for example two alternative boiler replacements)
Set the planning context at the top: Carbon target, Available budget, Internal carbon price and Discount rate.
Read the MACC#
The chart ranks initiatives by cost per lifetime tCO₂e reduced — a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC). Initiatives on the left reduce emissions most cheaply; negative costs mean the project saves money over its lifetime.
Build a portfolio#
- Select Suggested Low-Cost Pathway to let ErgOps pick the lowest-cost initiatives that fit your budget and respect exclusive groups.
- Adjust the selection.
- Select Save Portfolio. Portfolios are saved as drafts.
An Organization Manager can approve a portfolio. Approved portfolios are locked; duplicate one to create a new version.
Note The suggested pathway is a financial ranking. Engineering feasibility still requires your own review.
