Rising Demand for Efficient Energy Management Solutions to Aid the Carbon Footprint Management Market

There is a rising use of integrated digital solutions for carbon footprint calculation, carbon reduction, and carbon offsetting that are tailored to meet the requirements of customers. The market players are offering efficient carbon footprint management solutions that help organisations to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality and enable them to use cost-effective and reliable, clean energy sources in order to coexist with the global environment.

In July 2023, Alibaba Cloud introduced its Energy Expert, a software-as-a-service offering that allows customers to measure, analyse, and manage the carbon emissions of their activities and products. The platform offers energy-saving insights and energy-efficient technologies that enable clients to attain sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint. The initiatives taken by the key players in offering such innovative solutions that meet the customer expectations are likely to support the carbon footprint management market in the long run.

Also, there are carbon footprint management services that provide the expertise and resources to enable the clients to aggregate, calculate, and track carbon emissions annually. These services help with the complexity of carbon accounting, deliver digital tools, and offer a comprehensive view of carbon emissions through inventory management plans.

For instance, in December 2021, Fujitsu Limited and Ridgelinez Limited announced new services that support the customers in the Japanese market to bring their carbon emissions to zero and achieve carbon neutrality. These consulting services offered by Ridgelinez help the clients to measure and visualise carbon emissions in their supply chains.

Growing Use in the Manufacturing Sector to Support the Carbon Footprint Management Market Growth

The growing awareness about the detrimental effects of carbon emissions is leading to the rising adoption of carbon footprint management by small and mid-size manufacturing companies. These solutions and services are used to analyse and visualise the emissions throughout the supply chain from procurement of raw materials to disposal or recycling of the materials, further helping measure the carbon footprint of the individual products. This helps the manufacturing sector to achieve carbon neutrality through integrated cloud applications and reduction measures.

The stringent government regulations, such as the setting of heavy-duty GHG regulations to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, are resulting in the increased demand for carbon footprint management. These solutions help vehicle owners know the carbon footprint of all types of vehicles, such as petrol, hybrid, and electric, to help them reduce their impact on the environment, which is expected to support the carbon footprint management market development. Moreover, they offer suggestions to reduce the carbon footprint, such as turning off the engine when not needed, changing the oil, switching off the air conditioning, and others.

The surge in eco-consciousness among the refiners is resulting in the need to lower the carbon intensity by reducing emissions on a per barrel of refined crude basis. Thus, the emerging need for net-zero emissions in oil refineries is leading to the growing need to calculate carbon footprint, thus resulting in the demand for carbon footprint management solutions or services.

The market players are developing innovative solutions using technologies to reduce carbon emissions from buildings by helping owners optimise energy use. In June 2023, Honeywell Building Technologies introduced its cloud-based carbon and energy management software with data, analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to enable buildings to reduce carbon emissions and achieve sustainability. The software calculates the carbon data from emission sources, such as gas, electricity, and fuel source and also offers a roadmap for carbon neutrality.
