Common questions
Is there a free government carbon calculator for small businesses in the US?
Yes. The US EPA's Simplified GHG Emissions Calculator is a free spreadsheet for a small or mid-sized organisation's scope 1 and 2, plus some scope 3. Its GHG Emission Factors Hub gives the factors behind it.
Can a small manufacturer in the US get a free energy assessment?
Yes. The US DOE's Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITAC) give small and mid-sized manufacturers a no-cost energy and waste assessment. Find your nearest university centre on ITAC: find a centre.
How do I find grants for energy efficiency or solar in my state?
Search DSIRE by ZIP code for state and federal efficiency and renewables incentives. The SBA's 504 loans also fund equipment, including efficiency projects.
