Prototype/PoC of a carbon accounting & management system aimed towards manufacturing companies with complex supply chains. It focuses on product-level carbon footprint measurement & optimization and is based on the E-liability accounting method.
Beru aims to facilitate accurate masurement of a product's complete carbon footprint, which is the accumulation of its components' footprints. This enables manufacturers to understand their products better and find ways to reduce their carbon footprints.
E-liability accounting is a carbon accounting approach developed by Robert Kaplan & Karthik Ramanna that allows organizations to develop accurate & auditable carbon reports. This prototype aims to explore the feasibility of this approach. Next steps include to implement it using a blockchain platform such as Hyperledger Sawtooth, which would produce transparent and auditable records of transactions.
Beru provides an experimental dashboard to allow manufacturers to test different combinations of alternative materials or suppliers and see the impacts they have on the price and carbon footprint of a product. One idea in mind for this feature is to create a ML model to find the optimal combination of materials/suppliers that results in the lowest footprint with the lowest increase in manufacturing cost.
