Software for Carbon Footprinting - new version

Software Umberto for Carbon Footprint with more data, functions and additional standards.

A new version of Umberto for Carbon Footprint breathes fresh air into Carbon Footprinting. Most important is the enrichment of data available beyond the ecoinvent LCI data with BioGrace for GWP data of bio fuels and GWP data from Korea and Colombia.

Getting started with the software and new projects has again been improved. The enlargement of the help system and handbook offers optimal support. An even easier introduction to the solution is provided by an updated tutorial and an optimized project assistant. The latter enables directly setting evaluations according to PAS 2050 with 3 or 5 life cycle phases, to GHG Protocol Product Standard with 3 or 5 life cycle phases, and to GHG Protocol Corporate Carbon Footprint.

Especially by its variety Umberto for Carbon Footprint is not only suited for carbon calculations. As it is already integrated immanently in the method itself the software provides the ability to address clear economic goals as well by comprehensive calculation and modeling features, such as energy and resource efficiency. That is based on a solid and broad data base and visualizations of material and energy flows. Thus, the benefit of the tool goes far beyond the assessment of climate impact and contributes to a sustainable and economically successful development.

You can test it, for 30 days free of charge.
