What is Carbon Footprint Analysis?

A carbon footprint analysis measures the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions your business produces across three scopes: direct emissions from your operations (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), and upstream and downstream value chain emissions (Scope 3). For regional Queensland SMEs, this means tracking fuel use, electricity, transport, purchased goods, and waste, then converting those into carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) using recognised methodologies like the GHG Protocol and Australian NGA Factors.

Is this right for your business?

SMEs and agribusinesses across Gladstone, Mackay, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Moranbah, Emerald, and regional Queensland, as well as businesses in the Pilbara, Hunter Valley, and other regional areas across Australia, who need a credible baseline of their emissions, whether for internal planning, tender requirements, supply chain questionnaires, or voluntary reporting.

How it works

A clear, step-by-step process designed to make this straightforward for your business.

  1. Activity data collection from your bills, records, and operations
  2. Emission factor mapping using NGA Factors and GHG Protocol methodology
  3. Scope 1, 2 & 3 categorisation and quantification
  4. Clear summary report with emission hotspots and reduction opportunities
  5. Practical recommendations tailored to your business size and sector

What changes when you have this data

Tender carbon questions stumped you

You have defensible Scope 1, 2 & 3 numbers aligned to GHG Protocol, ready to drop straight into pre‑qual and EOI submissions.

You don't know where the cost leaks are

Emission hotspots pinpoint exactly where fuel, energy, and transport spending is highest, so you know what to address first.

Customers, lenders, and supply chains keep asking for data you don't have

A credible, documented baseline you can share with questionnaires, sustainability reports, and future AASB S2 disclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically your electricity bills, fuel receipts, vehicle logs, waste records, and any purchased goods data. We'll guide you through exactly what's needed based on your business type.
For most SMEs the process takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on data availability and business complexity. We work with clients across Australia and location is never a barrier.
Increasingly, yes. Mining companies in the Bowen Basin, government agencies running Queensland procurement, and large industrial operators are all asking suppliers for verified carbon data in tender submissions and supply chain questionnaires. This is also common in WA's Pilbara region and NSW's Hunter Valley, where major resource companies drive Scope 3 data requirements down through their contractor supply chains.
