Carbon Analyst

Imagine you're a detective, but instead of solving crimes, you're solving mysteries about how much carbon dioxide businesses or organisations produce. That's a bit like what a Carbon Analyst does! They are super important people who help companies understand their impact on the environment, specifically how much carbon they're releasing into the atmosphere. This involves collecting lots of data, like how much electricity a factory uses, how far its delivery lorries travel, or what materials it uses to make products. They then analyse this data to work out the 'carbon footprint' and suggest ways to reduce it. Their job is all about making businesses more eco-friendly and helping the UK meet its goals to tackle climate change. A Carbon Analyst might also help companies understand different environmental rules and regulations, making sure they are following the law. They might use special software to track emissions, create reports to show progress, and even help educate staff within a company about why reducing carbon is so important. It's a role that combines science, maths, and a passion for protecting our planet, making a real difference in the fight against climate change.
