Cantiere Green Protocol

How can I check and calculate the CO2eq production on the site deriving from electrical machines? According to an estimate by the Save the Planet research center, the emissions deriving from the use of electrical equipment on site are about 40% of the total GHG emissions produced. Only a small part of the builders are aware of what their sites emits, and of the possibility of supplying renewable energy with zero impact on the environment. Raising awareness among entrepreneurs allows to encourage the use of renewable energies (by increasing the demand), and to incentivize the transition and investments towards electrical energy machinery. Save the Planet uses green electricity companies for the project, which can certify the origin of the energy supplied, which must come from 100% renewable sources. In Italy these certificates are called GO (guarantee of origin), and they guarantee with certainty the type of electricity supplied. To keep the energy consumed on site under control, Iot measuring instruments (certified Smart Meters) are used; the accuracy of the on-site measurement is indicative of real-time CO2 production and savings. Through this protocol it is possible to generate carbon credits, which can be resold on the voluntary carbon credit market, creating a virtuous circuit. Each carbon credit is in fact equivalent to a ton of CO2eq saved. This mechanism for saving CO2 emissions can be perfectly integrated with the current protocols used in construction to build.
