Calculating the net environmental impact of (your) digital solutions
December 02, 2022
This webinar, organised by the European Green Digital Coalition Pilot Project, introduced the case study calculators which are being developed within the Pilot Project, which aim to assess the net environmental impact of real-life digital solutions. The first two calculators are currently being developed for the building sector and the transport sector. 1
The case study calculators will estimate the net environmental impact of the digital solution to determine whether the solution is indeed a Green Digital Solution. The calculators will also assess the net environmental impact of the digital technologies that are part of the Digital Solution.
The calculators that have been presented in this webinar consist of Excel sheets with the calculations, as well as a supporting methodology document, outlining assumptions, data sources, etc. Upon finalisation, the calculators will aim to be used by companies to either assess the impact of similar solutions or as a template to develop calculators for other solutions in that sector.
