IMPEL+ hosted a Carbon Tools webinar on March 7 to help Innovators estimate the impact of their small business towards reducing carbon emissions. These estimates could be used to help Innovators gauge the efficacy of their service or technology, while providing them with science-backed estimates to substantiate their pitch to a potential investor or partner.

This webinar featured three embodied and operational carbon tools, and their relevance to the buildings sector:

• SCOUT Tool

• GREET Tool

• Life Cycle Assessment Data & Tools

These tools were presented by experts from the Department of Energy Building Technologies Office (DOE-BTO), Carbon Leadership Forum, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), and Argonne National Lab (ANL). IMPEL+ thanks these featured speakers for engaging with our Innovators and advancing their projects towards a zero-carbon future.
