• Key Concepts:
  The term “fan” in the context of EHS-CI SAP Carbon Impact refers to a type of calculation used to measure the impact of a company’s carbon emissions. It is based on the concept of “fans”, which stands for “fossil-fuel-adjusted net emissions”. This calculation takes into account the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a company, as well as the amount of carbon dioxide that is absorbed by natural processes such as photosynthesis.
  
  How to use it:
  The fan calculation is used to measure the total impact of a company’s carbon emissions on the environment. It is calculated by subtracting the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by natural processes from the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the company. The result is then divided by the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted, giving an overall fan score.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When calculating a fan score, it is important to take into account all sources of carbon emissions, including those from transportation, manufacturing, and other activities. Additionally, it is important to consider any offsets or credits that may be available to reduce the overall impact of a company’s emissions.
