Our mission
The objective was to measure the company’s carbon footprint for the year 2023 and to identify areas where emissions could be reduced.
The main challenge was to model the carbon footprint of the power plants built. This analysis will serve as a foundation for Orion to implement long-term reduction measures and track their impact. For example, we analyzed:
- The relevance of using low-carbon certified solar panels and their impact on the total carbon footprint of the plant.
- The difference in impact of the supporting structure (steel, concrete, or wood) between a new construction project and a renovation project.
Carrying out our first carbon assessment with Kapstan was an enriching experience that enabled us to discover and appropriate the method. Ronan was able to adapt his approach to our sector.
