Introduction
Moata is the digital platform of the engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald. Its main sustainability product is the Moata Carbon Portal, a tool to estimate and manage embodied carbon in infrastructure projects and programmes. The platform also includes solutions for biodiversity net gain, water and geospatial work.
Purpose and Target Audience
The Carbon Portal is for infrastructure project teams, engineers, contractors and asset owners such as water companies. It helps teams that work to PAS 2080, the standard for carbon management in infrastructure.
Key Features
- Carbon baseline: Set a baseline from consistent data and methods.
- Option comparison: Compare the embodied carbon of design options.
- Early estimates: Estimate carbon at feasibility stage, before detailed design.
- Shared workspace: Give project teams and delivery partners one place for carbon data.
- Standard reports: Produce reports at key project stages.
- Programme view: See carbon across a whole programme of projects, with automated calculations and dashboards.
Benefits
The Carbon Portal brings carbon into infrastructure decisions early, when design changes have the largest effect. A shared workspace and consistent methods make results comparable across projects and partners. Programme level views help asset owners track carbon targets over many schemes.
Conclusion
The Moata Carbon Portal suits infrastructure owners and delivery teams that manage embodied carbon in line with PAS 2080.
