Main benefits of ZEROInfra

Lifecycle carbon management

ZEROInfra covers all stages of a project, from initial planning and design to construction and maintenance.

Detailed emission analysis and design optimization

ZEROInfra identifies emission-intensive components, work phases, and materials, providing a detailed analysis that informs better decision-making.

ZEROInfra also facilitates the identification of climate-smart alternatives by helping comparing different design solutions and materials and steering the project toward sustainable options.

Informed decision-making

ZEROInfra supports project teams and clients in making informed decisions by presenting clear data on emissions and costs. The tool also adheres to standards like EN 17472:2022, ensuring that it meets both global and national requirements for carbon management in infrastructure projects.

Visualization, communication and target setting

The tool offers clear visualizations and transparency in calculations, making it easier to communicate the carbon impact and benefits of sustainable design choices to stakeholders.  ZEROInfra assists in setting realistic emission reduction targets and provides the data needed to achieve them. It offers a strategic approach to managing emissions, enabling projects to meet their sustainability goals efficiently.

Application and impact

ZEROInfra has been successfully implemented in various infrastructure projects across Finland, Denmark, Germany, and Great Britain. Its application ranges from small-scale projects to large-scale developments, providing tailored solutions that address the specific needs of each project.

The tool's ability to integrate emission into the design process ensures that carbon management is an integral part of the project from the outset. This proactive approach not only reduces the environmental impact but also contributes to cost savings by identifying resource-efficient solutions.
