Precisely identify the carbon content of electricity
In an era where companies intensify efforts to understand their climate impact and commit to emission reductions, accurate measurement of electricity's carbon content is crucial. Traditional methods often rely on broad averages or focus on marginal emissions, which do not fully reflect the actual dynamics of electricity flow on the grid.
Kevala's platform revolutionizes this process through highly granular analysis, enabling precise determination of carbon intensity anywhere and anytime. With our advanced Total Carbon Accounting (TCA) framework, developed in partnership with leading global utilities, we provide actionable insights that help utilities, regulators, and businesses make informed decisions to effectively reduce their carbon footprint and achieve their decarbonization goals.

The advantage of Localized Carbon Intensity
Traditional methods of measuring electricity's carbon intensity often use long-term averages or broad market areas, which may not accurately reflect real-time power flows and their impact on emissions. Such approaches, while progressive, fall short in meeting the demands of a decarbonizing global economy and can lead to inaccuracies in energy market carbon assessments.
Kevala's TCA offers a solution by enabling decision-makers to accurately assess the carbon emissions associated with specific loads in precise locations and times. This granularity supports the most effective and accurate investments in climate strategies, driving true decarbonization efforts.

Discover Total Carbon Accounting
Launched at COP26 in Glasgow, the Total Carbon Accounting (TCA) white paper—co-published by Kevala, National Grid, Exelon, and ComEd—introduces a pioneering methodology for measuring carbon intensity on the electric grid.
TCA combines locational carbon intensity with advanced accounting methods to pinpoint emissions accurately at any location and time. This approach enhances climate action policies, supports strategic program and rate designs, and bolsters procurement strategies for policymakers, utilities, and energy consumers, serving as a foundational tool for carbon reporting efforts.
