A dealership's carbon is the site it runs and the fuel it burns
A dealership's footprint is the site it runs and the fuel it puts through demo and loan cars, with parts and workshop supplies behind them. Most of it is already in the utility bills, fuel cards and procurement the business keeps. The analyst turns those into a footprint per site or franchise.
You stay the reviewer
Fuel and utility data in, a defensible number out
The inputs are close to hand: electricity and gas for the site, fuel cards for the demo and loan fleet, and parts procurement. The analyst reconciles each to the right factor and produces a footprint you can put in front of a manufacturer or an assurer with the working attached.

Source
Fuel-card export, 8,000 L petrol
Emission factor
NGA 2025, petrol: 2.31 kg CO₂e/L (Scope 1 combustion)
Reasoning
Own fleet combustion → Scope 1. Activity-based: metered litres.

How it works
Drop in utility invoices, fuel cards and parts procurement, the analyst calculates each scope with matched factors, and you report per site, per franchise or consolidated across the group.

Showroom and workshop
A glass showroom and a workshop full of compressors and hoists draw real power. CO2 Lab reads electricity and gas per site, applies the current NGA factors, and reports location-based and market-based electricity side by side.
Grid electricity by state NGA factor
Natural gas and workshop fuels
Location-based and market-based reported
Workshop refrigerant top-ups as fugitive Scope 1
Demo, loan and courtesy vehicle fuel
Litres per vehicle from fuel cards
Petrol, diesel and hybrid
Charging of demo EVs as Scope 2
Scope 1 & 2 · Fleet
Demo and loan cars
The fuel you buy to keep demo, loan and courtesy cars running is your own Scope 1. CO2 Lab reads litres per vehicle off fuel cards, applies the current NGA factor, and treats demo EV charging as Scope 2, so the fleet is counted correctly rather than guessed.
Scope 3 · Category 1
Parts and procurement
Parts, tyres, oils and workshop consumables sit in your Scope 3. CO2 Lab starts from procurement spend with spend-based factors, swaps in supplier data as it arrives, and labels every line so you can see what is estimated and what is real.
