How it works

From a folder of bills to a filed report.

You already keep the data. Carbon Visio turns it into a report you can put your name on - here is exactly how, step by step.

The short version

Three steps from a folder of bills to a filed report.

Upload your bills

Drop in the electricity and gas spreadsheets you already keep for each site. No new meters, no consultants.

Excel · CSV

We build one canonical ledger

Your readings reconcile into a single ledger, frozen DEFRA factors are applied, and every figure is labelled.

DEFRA 2024 v1.0

Export an audit-ready report

Generate a formatted SECR report - Scope 1 and 2, intensity ratio, coverage statement and a full audit trail.

Step 01

Upload the bills you already keep.

You drag in the electricity and gas spreadsheets for each site. Carbon Visio reads the meter numbers, dates and kWh straight from the file - you do not reformat anything.

If a month is missing - say one Birmingham gas bill never arrived - it is flagged, not quietly filled. You see the gap before it reaches your number.

Step 02

We build one canonical ledger.

Every reading reconciles into a single ledger. Frozen DEFRA 2024 factors are applied - grid electricity at 0.207, gas at 0.183 kgCO₂e/kWh - and each figure is labelled with how it was obtained.

You end with 497.5 tCO₂e across both sites, split Scope 1 gas 184.5 and Scope 2 electricity 313.0 - and you can see how much of it you can defend.

Step 03

Export an audit-ready report.

One click gives you a formatted SECR PDF: Scope 1 and Scope 2 totals, your intensity ratio of 11.76 tCO₂e/£m, the coverage statement, and the full workings behind every figure.

The factor set is frozen into the file, so the number you file this year still reconciles when you open it next year. Nothing recalculates behind your back.

Scope 1 + 2 · intensity ratio · frozen per report
Measured · Estimated · Assumed

Every figure says how it was arrived at.

This is the difference. Most tools give you one confident number. Carbon Visio classifies every reading by where it came from, and discloses the parts it had to fill.

Measured

Sourced from a Carbon Visio metering device. A reading taken from the equipment itself, traceable to the device that recorded it.

Estimated

Derived from a supplier-issued utility bill. The bill is your source of record, and the figure is only ever as good as the reading behind it.

Assumed

Gap-filled from a prior-period average where no data was available. Every assumption is disclosed in the report rather than folded quietly into the total.

The export

What you can hand an auditor.

Every SECR report Carbon Visio generates carries the same working, drawn from your own ledger.

Beyond the bills

Turn an estimate into a reading.

A bill-derived figure is classified as estimated; a reading from a meter on the line is classified as measured. Carbon Visio's own metering hardware is in development, and the platform already treats a meter reading and a bill line as the same kind of record.
