Welcome to CPLAN
The greenhouse auditing tool especially designed for land based industries
Launch CPLANv2 Greenhouse gas calculator
Products and advice to reduce your footprint
Since launching our web based greenhouse gas auditing tool (carbon calculator for land based industries) in June 2007 the web site has received over 10,000 unique visitors. Being the first UK based provider we have received the majority of our enquiries from the UK but now regularly attract hundreds of visitors from around the world since the launch of our international livestock calculator.
We have listened to the feed back we have received over the last two years and are proud to announce we are now launching a new product. All our products are based on the offical national reporting methodology recommended by the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which countries use to report national emissions.
CPLANv2 builds on the simple, easy, intuitive format we have used in our free CPLANv0 calculator. CPLANv2 returns a higher level of precision than our earlier products but consequently require more input data. As all farmers know, the quality of the end product depends on the quality of the inputs.
CPLANv2 – is becoming a globally comprehensive greenhouse gas auditing tool for all land based industries around the world. We now include livestock equations and tables supplied in the IPCC methodology for all countries in the world and are developing the other sections – just be sure to click on the right region using the 'Edit settings' function before you enter your data!
We also have two models for calculating emissions from livestock - standard and customised. The latter has a much great degree of precision on the livestock sector because we have implemented the Tier II IPCC methodology. This requires the user to enter more farm specific data but consequently allows farm specific ‘what if’ scenarios.
There is no registration required for the free calculator but to use the CPLANv2 we ask you please to register. Registation is free we only ask for payment if you actually use the calculator.
