Energy and carbon footprinting is the process of estimating the greenhouse gas emissions caused by a company’s operations, products, or services. At Blue Marble, we use certified methods to estimate CO2 emissions across all scopes (direct, indirect, and value chain), helping businesses and consumers understand their climate impact and act towards carbon neutrality.
We assist companies in achieving their GHG emission reduction targets by offsetting their unavoidable emissions.
With our ISO 14064-2 certified projects, we provide measurable and permanent offsets, reinforcing their commitment to sustainable, long-term environmental goals.
Our projects are aligned with the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard in order to reach both short and long-term goals.
We assist companies in managing their corporate carbon footprint in line with the GHG Protocol, helping them effectively measure and reduce emissions to meet sustainability targets.
Carbon insetting:
We help companies directly reduce emissions within their operations and supply chains, fostering sustainability across their entire value chain.
By integrating digital twins and tools, we streamline the management of emission sources, enabling data-driven decisions that reduce emissions across operations and supply chains.
Blue Marble Environmental Fuel Catalyst
The Blue Marble Environmental Fuel Catalyst is an innovative product that reduces the carbon footprint which is generated by internal combustion engines and burners.
It is a high value-added product that optimizes the use of liquid fossil fuels.
Upon fossil fuel combustion it reacts with O and OC radicals, decreasing the flame temperature and restraining the small Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) from growing. This reaction changes the characteristics of Black Carbon particles, including the reduction in crystallite size and thermal stability, as PAHs are the necessary precursors to black carbon formation.
Black Carbon, even when not visible in form of soot, ranks as the 2nd largest human contributor to Climate Change; it carries two-thirds the climate impact of CO2. It is composed of particulate matter, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxides.
Blue Marble Environmental Fuel Additive decomposes existing combustion residues, carbonate and other particles, and leads them to full combustion, while in parallel acts as a multifunctional catalyst, allowing the full energy potential of the fuel. Internal combustion is by itself a process of voluntary and accelerated oxidation, and the use of Blue Marble optimizes this process.
Blue Marble also acts on Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) renewing their service life, as it regenerates them passively without requiring exhaust temperatures of 350 - 500 °C. This process is especially important to vehicles which are not reaching high speeds throughout their regular service (city cycle) and new GenSets with DPF that are programmed to operate at low rpm.
Reduced CO & HC: in all engines, and regardless of the type of fossil fuel, emissions of carbon monoxides (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) are being reduced by a value range between 60% and 95%.
Reduced PM: the reduction in particulate matter emissions (PM) from diesel engines with diesel particulate filters (DPF) is typically 90% while the corresponding reduction from diesel engines without DPF is typically 65%.
Reduced Fuel Consumption: in all engines, and regardless of the type of fossil fuel, fuel consumption is being reduced by a value range between 10% and 22%.
Further Reduction of Emissions: the reduction of fuel consumption reduces further the emissions, including CO2 and ΝΟx, as it doesn’t increase the concentration (ppm) in the volume of outstanding emissions.
Blue Marble Environmental Fuel Additive costs less than the value of fuel that its use is proven to save.
Clean Thermal Energy
Heat is the largest energy end-use, accounting for 50% of global final energy consumption, significantly more than electricity (20%) and transport (30%).
Fossil fuels continue to dominate heat supplies, which contribute 40% (13.3 gigatons [Gt]) of global CO2 emissions. About 50% of total heat consumed is used for industrial processes and another 47% is consumed in buildings for space and water heating; the remainder is used in agriculture, primarily for greenhouse heating.
The geothermal heat pumps (water to water) offer the greatest COP among all types of heat pumps but also the greatest installation cost in retrofit applications, and they require radiant floors rather than radiators.
The solar-thermal panels, widely used in the Mediterranean countries, can secure warm water for use during daytime but not after sunset hours or under adverse weather conditions. More importantly, they cannot support the hydronic or fan coil system of a building.
The thermal– photovoltaic systems are utilizing the heat that concentrates within a photovoltaic panel to warm water for use during sunshine but not after sunset hours or under adverse weather conditions. Similarly, they cannot secure the hydronic or fan coil system of a building.
Blue Marble Advanced Thermal Photovoltaic (ATPV) System
Unrestricted production of thermal energy in form of warm water at 60 °C using an innovative thermal panel which is mounted behind a PV panel to absorb its wasted thermal energy (85% of solar radiation) in a closed circuit of glycol.
Disruptive heating technology that utilizes the advantages of a geothermal heat pump to produce thermal energy 24/7 under all weather conditions (down to -20 °C), securing the thermal requirement of a hydronic system (radiators) and warm water for use without underground geothermal installation.
Surplus of renewable electricity on an annual basis.
New category of 100% renewable source to secure the heat energy requirement of buildings without district heat networks, underground installations or radiant floors.
