White papers: shared with customers and on request
Rejoose is build upon methods and calculation principles defined in our White papers. This is extensive work, with over 200 pages of descriptions and documentation. As a customer, you will always have access to the newest White papers in your E/tool or E/insights workspace.
Data collection: Rejoose has extensive data collection
And all this data is aggregated and refined to be standardized, comparable and compliant. We utilize this to build country and company specific carbon data packages for each financial transaction. So each data package is unique, traceable and compliant.
We even support special handling from your supplier, like Carbon zero last mile transportation.
Carbon terminology from A to Z
1.5°C.
The Paris Agreement commits countries to limit global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, ideally following a more ambitious trajectory of 1.5°C. Any greater level of warming than 1.5°C could lead to vastly more destructive climate changes. Scientists have calculated that in order to follow a 1.5°C trajectory, the world must cut its emissions in half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
Accuracy gap
The accuracy gap is the difference between the emissions a company calculates and those for which it is accountable. When businesses successfully close the accuracy gap, they avoid risks – including legal non-compliance – and earn benefits like increased brand equity. The accuracy gap can be traced back to the methodologies and data used in emissions estimates. Comprehensive and science-backed carbon accounting helps businesses overcome the accuracy gap.
Additionality
Additionality is a principle for evaluating carbon removal projects. A carbon removal project is additional if it will lead to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that would not have happened otherwise.
Base year
To set emission reduction targets and embark on the net zero journey, one must first specify a base year. The yearly reduction targets are set by the percentage of the total emissions in the base year.
Bio-oil
The production of bio-oil is a method of carbon removal. It is created by heating agricultural waste without oxygen. The resulting bio-oil is then injected deep underground.
Biochar
The production of biochar is a method of carbon removal. Biochar is a charcoal-like substance created by heating agricultural waste (corn husks, stems, leaves, etc.) until its chemical composition changes. After the CO₂ has been stored in this way, the biochar is used to create a substance that can be added to the soil, such as a fertilizer. This means that the CO₂ is almost permanently removed, and won’t be released back during decomposition.
