Manufacturing

Carbon accounting for every plant.

Fuel, refrigerants, electricity and a long list of suppliers, across several sites. Zoru brings it into one data set, priced with UK government (DESNZ) factors, and takes it through review to signed-off reports.

What makes it hard, and how Zoru helps.

  • Challenge

    Several plants, several spreadsheets

    Data sits with each site, so pulling the year together takes weeks.

    How Zoru helps

    One data set, organised by site

    Set up divisions and sites, limit editors to their own site, and see Scope 1 and 2 intensity per unit of output for each plant. Intensity and targets

  • Challenge

    Fuel, refrigerants and energy

    Boilers, furnaces, fleets, chillers and the electricity bill all count, in different units.

    How Zoru helps

    Scope 1 and 2, read from your bills

    Drop in electricity, gas and fuel invoices. Zoru prices electricity, mains gas, diesel and petrol with DESNZ factors (electricity both location- and market-based) and holds any line it can't price for you to check. How measuring works

  • Challenge

    Hundreds of suppliers

    Raw materials and services make up most of the footprint, and every supplier is different.

    How Zoru helps

    A supplier register from your ledger

    Upload your purchase ledger and Zoru builds one supplier register, ranked by what you spent, showing the estimate your purchased-goods entries already hold for each supplier. Suppliers in Zoru

  • Challenge

    Customers and tenders want evidence

    A Carbon Reduction Plan or SECR figures, and they need to stand up.

    How Zoru helps

    Reviewed, then reported

    Every entry starts as a draft: it counts in your totals, marked not yet reviewed, until someone approves it, and the year can't be closed until every draft is reviewed. One data set produces SECR, ISO 14064-1, GRI and your Carbon Reduction Plan. The reports

Scope 1 in detail

What Zoru measures on site.

  • Fuels

    Natural gas, heating oil, LPG and biomass burned in boilers and furnaces, priced from your bills, meter readings or deliveries. Lines for other fuels, such as gas oil, are held for you to check.

  • Vehicles

    Company vans, trucks and cars, from fuel cards, mileage or a description in your own words. DVLA lookups fill in vehicle details.

  • Refrigerants

    Top-ups to chillers and air conditioning, converted to CO₂e with each gas’s global warming potential.

Process emissions, from chemical reactions such as calcination, aren't calculated in Zoru today.

An action plan for your plants.

Every paid Zoru account includes AI action plans. Each action shows its estimated saving and, where one can be estimated, a cost and payback, from quick wins like LED retrofits to capital projects like heat recovery.
