Our impact

Six measures, each with a stated basis, reported project by project. Where a figure is a design target rather than an operating result, it says so.

The numbers

What we are prepared to be held to.

A metric with no methodology is an assertion. Each row below names how it was derived, who assessed it, and when — or is marked as awaiting assessment.

Both projects combined

Totals cover 1 of 2 projects in development. They rise as the remaining design figures are published — nothing here is scaled or estimated from the project that is complete.

Method

The lifecycle assessment is the one that matters.

Everything else on this page describes scale. The lifecycle carbon figure describes whether the facility is worth building at all — and it is the number that turns “negative lifecycle carbon footprint” from a claim into a finding.

  • MethodologyThe named standard the assessment follows
  • System boundaryWhat is inside and outside the assessment
  • AssessorThe independent party who performed it
  • DateWhen it was performed, and when it is next reviewed
  • ComplianceUN Core Carbon Principles, and the registry used for issuance

Numbers first, goals second — not the other way round.
