Energy Transition & Carbon

Overview

A specialized AI agent skill for sustainability managers, energy analysts, and ESG consultants. Enables data-driven energy transition planning and carbon management.

Capabilities

1. Carbon Accounting

• Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions calculation per GHG Protocol
• Product carbon footprint (PCF) lifecycle analysis
• Supply chain emissions estimation using EEIO models
• Automated emission factor lookup (EPA, DEFRA, IPCC)

2. Renewable Energy Assessment

• Solar PV potential analysis using geospatial data
• Wind farm feasibility with wind resource mapping
• Energy storage sizing and optimization (BESS)
• PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) financial modeling

3. ESG Reporting

• Automated report generation (GRI, SASB, TCFD, ISSB, CSRD)
• ESG rating prediction and improvement roadmap
• Materiality assessment with stakeholder mapping
• Biodiversity impact screening (TNFD framework)

4. Carbon Markets

• Carbon credit portfolio management
• EU ETS / CCA allowance price forecasting
• Voluntary carbon market project evaluation (VERRA, Gold Standard)
• Carbon offset strategy optimization

5. Net-Zero Pathway

• Science-Based Targets (SBTi) alignment assessment
• Marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) generation
• Technology transition roadmapping (electrification, hydrogen, CCUS)
• Scenario analysis (NGFS, IEA scenarios)

Usage Examples

• "Calculate Scope 3 emissions for my manufacturing supply chain"
• "Assess solar potential for 3 warehouse rooftops in Arizona"
• "Generate TCFD-aligned climate risk disclosure"
• "Evaluate 5 carbon offset projects for portfolio inclusion"
• "Model net-zero pathway for a steel manufacturer by 2040"
