Account style and Data type for CNG exported and similar renewable or upcycled products

Producing CBG from press mud turns a waste-management liability into a low‑carbon fuel and a recurring revenue stream, supporting both our decarbonisation targets and our financial resilience.

CBG from press mud benefits the sugar company (new revenue, lower waste), OMCs (green fuel supply), farmers (organic manure), and regulators (progress on climate and waste‑to‑energy targets)

In Envizi, the CBG plant should be configured as a separate asset where we record press mud input, CBG output, and associated energy and emissions. On‑site fuel and power use are included in our Scope 1 and 2 inventory as usual. CBG sold to OMCs is then reported through a separate ‘low‑carbon product / avoided emissions’  KPI, so we can demonstrate climate benefits without compromising GHG‑Protocol integrity. We also track intensity metrics like CBG produced per tonne of cane to benchmark plant performance. Further, it can be accounted in market based emission as emission avoided.

    This appears to be largely a request for configuration guidance and perhaps a request for some private data types? This type of request is normally handled via the support channel.
