Carbon Value Analysis Tool (CVAT)

World Resource Institute

Released in June 2006, this downloadable tool helps corporate energy managers to assess the value of emissions reductions and make decisions on financing new projects. The Microsoft Excel-based program that allows energy managers to compare the emissions and financial impacts for a full range of energy-efficient and renewable energy projects. CVAT is designed to be especially useful for multinational corporations with greenhouse gas reduction targets as well as facilities that operate under carbon-limiting government mandates, such as those throughout Europe.

The tool was developed under the auspices of the Climate Northeast Project, a partnership between WRI and a dozen Fortune 500 companies. Through the project, participants work to devise winning strategies to allow companies to thrive in a carbon-constrained future. On the CVAT homepage, find case studies on corporate climate action.
