White Paper: Building Trustworthiness in Carbon Data to Achieve Net-Zero Across the Life of Highway Assets Jinying Xu, Kristen MacAskill, and Francesco De Toma The decarbonisation of the transportation sector is critical to achieving a Net Zero Economy. PAS2080:2023 provides an overarching guidance for carbon management in infrastructure and buildings, but does not extend to covering how the underlying collection, sharing, reporting, and analysis of carbon data takes place. Data trustworthiness issues emerge from stakeholders often relying on obtaining data from others, using different methods and systems. This whitepaper addresses the data trustworthiness issues, identifies its four key pillars and key success factors, and discusses how technology can help. It sets the scene for developing a standardised carbon data model and calls the engagement of value chain stakeholders. 2023 University of Cambridge |
