Carbon Inventory FAQ

What types of carbon inventory systems are available in Taiwan? +

Carbon inventory systems in Taiwan fall into four categories: all-in-one platforms (like Sustaihub DCarbon, combining system and consulting), standalone carbon tools (software only, requires separate consulting), international carbon management platforms (comprehensive but lacking local adaptation), and manual Excel (zero cost but high risk). Key selection criteria include ISO 14064-1 compliance, built-in Taiwan emission factors, degree of automation, and availability of integrated consulting through to verification.

How much time does a carbon inventory system save compared to Excel? +

Implementing a carbon inventory system saves over 200 hours of manual work on average. The system automatically applies ISO 14064-1 emission factors and generates verification-ready documents and reports, significantly reducing the risk of calculation errors. By comparison, manual Excel inventory requires self-sourcing emission factors, manual report formatting, difficult version control, and error-prone multi-person collaboration.

What should I choose for my first carbon inventory? +

We recommend an all-in-one system plus consulting approach. The most common challenges in a first inventory are knowing what to inventory, which emission factors to use, and how to write the report — issues that software alone cannot solve. An all-in-one solution like Sustaihub DCarbon provides guided workflows plus consulting support, from boundary setting to successful verification.

Can carbon inventory data be used directly in sustainability reports? +

Sustaihub DCarbon carbon inventory data integrates seamlessly with the Syber ESG reporting platform, flowing directly into GHG disclosure sections for GRI, IFRS S2, and other frameworks without re-entry. Other tools or Excel require manual data transfer to your reporting system, introducing risk of data inconsistency.
