FULTON FRANCIS IS CARBON NEUTRAL

Based on growing environmental concerns amongst its worldwide client base, Fulton Francis approached the Carbon Reduction Institute to discuss

developing a tool for measuring the actual greenhouse gas emissions associated with operating print equipment.

A standard carbon calculator can quantify the carbon emissions associated with electricity usage. Fulton Francis proposed improving the standard model to include the ability to calculate and compare actual onsite data from individual print devices located around the world.

As a result of these discussions, Fulton Francis commissioned the Carbon Reduction Institute to build a device emissions calculator to include the following three key features:

         Fulton Francis carbon calculator   

Worldwide Emissions Coefficients: Power plants around the world generate electricity in different ways e.g. black coal, brown coal, natural gas and hydroelectric. Consequently different levels of greenhouse gas emissions result from the production and use of that electricity. Whether you are in Australia, USA, Africa, Asia or Europe, Fulton Francis will be able to calculate the emissions associated with the use of your printing devices.

Actual Data Upload: Rather than assuming use patterns on devices Fulton Francis wanted to base all calculations on actual verifiable data. This is achieved by physically metering each device for an agreed period. Metering equipment will capture actual usage patterns and also capture standby periods when devices are still drawing power. Once the data is captured the upload function can calculate the results from anywhere in the world.

Save & Export Function: Uploaded data is saved in a central database.

A comparison can then be made with any future device analysis, so as to accurately quantify any carbon emission/electricity savings.

The export feature allows all data to be graphed for analysis in the summary report.

  In developing these innovations to the standard carbon calculator model, Fulton Francis has shown a commitment to accurately quantifying all costs associated with a company's print infrastructure. Clients can then make informed decisions, based on verifiable data, to optimize their printing infrastructure in order to meet their global sustainability goals.
