Avoided Emissions Platform (AEP)

Quantis developed the Avoided Emissions Platform (AEP) with iCare by BearingPoint through a collaborative approach with international financial institutions, corporates, data providers and a scientific committee.


AEP empowers financial institutions to invest in transformative solutions that drive decarbonization.

Avoided emissions

What are avoided emissions?

Avoided emissions refer to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that occur outside a company’s scope 1, 2 and 3, made possible when its products or services enable others to lower their emissions. Historically, inconsistent methodologies have resulted in fragmented estimates that are difficult to compare.

The Avoided Emissions Platform (AEP) fills this gap by offering a robust, solution-level calculation framework. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, empowering corporations and financial institutions to credibly integrate avoided emissions into strategic and investment decisions. 

Solutions backed by science

Advised by a scientific committee, the AEP is built on a transparent methodology that is aligned with established carbon accounting frameworks.

Companies can select a climate solution, input key characteristics, then obtain the specific volume of avoided emissions with both year-on-year and forward-looking approaches.

AEP includes a curated database of default avoided emissions for products, services and technologies. Companies are able to customize 60+ solutions across 8 sectors to understand the impact of their products.
