Software to measure carbon footprint wins top award

摘要

A carbon calculator sot ware tool developed by chemical engineers at Manchester University clinched the top prize last month at the IChemE 2010 innovation and excellence awards. The CCalc helps companies to measure and reduce their carbon footprint and has been developed in collaboration with chemical engineers from the university and a range of industry partners. The project, led by professor of sustainable chemical engineering Adisa Azapagic, was deemed the best entry across all award cat- egories and awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Chemical and Process Engineering Prize (sponsored by Rowan House).
