About Ark Carbon Management System¶
Ark carbon management (hereinafter referred to as Ark) is a carbon management application developed to simplify and accelerate your decarbonisation journey by providing end-to-end carbon management process with carbon accounting, target setting, abatement initiative, offset, and reports management. Ark integrates your source and activity data from operation, environment, and investments to provide a single source of carbon truth across your organization. We make your decarbonisation journey easy by integrating physical and digital world with the rigor and confidence required to meet your GHG emission disclosure and compliance needs.
- Carbon Calculations
Since different databases and systems relate to different carbon-emitting assets, the effort required to classify and integrate data from multiple business units and assets is enormous. The integration of AIoT enables the seamless acquisition of real-time activity-level data and asset inventory data from various systems. This provides an organization with the ability to efficiently integrate, collect, and convert data into reports for accurate emissions monitoring and measurement, reducing the overall effort surrounding data collection and improving data quality and reporting resolution.
- Carbon Reduction
Carbon reduction planning is very challenging due to the lack of an accurate way to measure the carbon emissions of certain processes. Ark’s AIoT technology addresses this challenge in the following ways:
Real-time data: Creates insights to better predict carbon emissions in the process.
Process data analysis and learning: Improve the performance evaluation of emission reduction measures and optimize emission forecasts.
- Carbon Neutral
Our platform offers near real-time verification for renewable energy certificates (REC) and provides an access channel to the carbon neutrality marketplace. You can efficiently manage your RECs and carbon credit purchases, perform digital certificate retirements, and maintain up-to-date records in the system for auditability and traceability. We connect businesses to a global market pool, providing reliable carbon reduction and offsetting options to boost the feasibility of your carbon trading and emission strategies.
- Carbon Reporting and Certification
We offer industry-standard inventory reports and inventory table formats recognized by accredited certification bodies, streamlining the verification process for businesses. Our partnerships with reputable certification organizations enable efficient and continuous online digital verification for confident data disclosure and progress tracking.
Main Function¶
Ark monitors the carbon footprint of corporate organizations in real-time and automatically generates carbon emission reports to visualize the data. Our system also provides an optimized carbon reduction road map for future carbon reduction and carbon neutrality plans. We provide a true end-to-end solution for the journey to net zero emissions.
Carbon Overview¶
Present overall carbon emissions, emission reductions, and offset data for each business entity in a group, regional, or site view. Showcase the distribution of emissions under relevant group view’s organizational framework, and track emission details of operational units to assist in formulating strategies for corporate emission reduction.
Carbon Management¶
Track and analyze carbon emissions and carbon neutrality progress over previous years, visualize your energy balance, and conduct online verification and tracking of green certificates.
Carbon Footprint Analysis¶
Analyze carbon emissions produced from the operational and production activities of your corporate organization. By examining the carbon footprint, you can visually trace the transfer and neutralization process of carbon emissions within the internal units of your organization.
Carbon Target Management and Simulation¶
Set science-based emission reduction targets or tailor them to your organization’s objectives. Monitor progress, adjust plans and strategies, simulate target pathways, document goal completion, and visually showcase your achievements.
Product Advantages¶
Quick Access to Comprehensive Data¶
IoT data access: supports instant provisioning of IoT energy consumption meter data to cloud through code scanning and automatic data mapping to the cloud model, this greatly shortens the onboarding cycle and onboarding costs, at the same time, prevents mapping errors caused by manual data verification.
Non-IoT data access: provides offline collection template and online configuration function, support customers to import non-IoT data and historical data flexibly.
Flexible Carbon Calculation Model¶
Provide extensive carbon calculation models and supports managing local and international carbon calculation standards, and updating emission factor libraries by year. Offer an online configuration feature that allows customers to conveniently select the carbon calculation model of their choice.
Integrated carbon offset market¶
Ark is docked to the Envision Green Certificate Trading Service, providing customers with convenient green certificate purchase, verification and tracking services, and supporting customers to complete carbon emission offsets.
Convenient and fast SaaS online subscription and deployment¶
Convenient access method, deployed in the cloud, accessed through the Internet, not restricted by time and place.

Ecological Advantages¶
Envision Group is a world-leading green technology company. With the mission of solving challenges for the sustainable future of mankind, Envision group owns Envision Energy, a smart wind power technology company, Envision AESC, a smart battery company, and Envision Digital, which develops the world’s leading intelligent IoT operating system. Envision continues to promote wind power and photovoltaic to become “new coal”, batteries and hydrogen fuel to become “new oil”, and the smart Internet of Things to become the “new grid” to create a better zero-carbon world. Envision’s business ecosystem can provide one-stop solutions for wind power, photovoltaic power, energy storage and energy efficiency optimization for customers’ carbon management.
Forming a carbon-zero closed loop EnOS Cloud has connected over 50% of China’s wind power assets, and will onboard more than 30 GW of power plants in the future. These power plants will continuously generate green certificates every year. At the same time, Envision cooperates with APX and I-REC, two internationally recognized green certificate certification agencies, to support verification of green certificates, providing a one-stop solution powered by EnOS based on blockchain. The solution integrates asset registration, green certificate application, green certificate issuance, green certificate transaction and green certificate verification all in one place. Through Ark, the traceability, reliability and immutability of each green certificate will be guaranteed, and enterprises have visibility over the history of each certificate.
Cloud carbon management Ark can upload a large amount of energy data related to carbon emissions to the cloud in real-time. A wide variety of energy data is supported, such as electricity, heating, steam, and natural gas.
Smart operation
Based on supercomputing and digital twin technologies, Ark enables carbon footprint analysis, carbon-neutral route planning and progress measurement.
Based on EnOS Cloud, Ark can monitor the energy consumption of critical equipment, adjust power usage, and run preventive measures. For example, the HVAC system consumes the most energy in a building.
Target Users¶
Users such as government agencies, park and districts, corporate groups, and general businesses with carbon management needs.
