Climate Solver Tool
Simple calculation tool to estimate potential avoided greenhouse gas
emissions and increased energy access for climate innovations globally
• There is no established protocol for this kind of calculations
• Calculation methodology developed by WWF Sweden since 2009
• Based on established GHG accounting principles
• Climate Solver Tool makes methodology easier to use
• Tool used since 2012 by WWF in Nordics, India, South Africa and China
• Estimations for increased energy access were added as programme
expanded to India in 2012
This demonstration goes through a simplified example of a calculation for
avoided GHG emissions

• The calculations are based on
1 The potential market for the innovation
2 The climate impact of the innovation
3 The climate impact of a baseline scenario
4 The estimated market share for the innovation

A simplified example
• Imagine an innovative radiator that uses 80 % of the energy
normally used in radiators
• About 6 000 TWh is used globally for heat in residential sector
every year
• A conservative estimate is that radiators on average emitts 0.25
kg CO2/kWh
This gives 60 million tons CO2 reduction anually assuming a 20 %
market penetration

page with a list of
old calculations

7. This is what the tool
looks like, with tabs
for each part of the
calculations

8. This is the market
tab

11. The result is given in
this separate results
tab, where an
assumption for the
assumed market
share is made
This is the result,
about 60 million tons
CO2 reduction
annually assuming a
20 % market
penetration
This slide bar sets the
year, to account for
market changes and
that some innovations
will have an incremental
effect on avoided
emissions

Previous Climate Solver innovations
The following are two examples of actual Climate Solver innovations
Photovoltaic ceramic tile
If there are 25 million buildings, nearly 5% of low residential density buildings all
around the world, using photovoltaic ceramic tile by 2023, 25 million tons of
CO2 emission can be avoided per year
http://www.climatesolver.org/innovations/living/photovoltaic-ceramic-tile
SolarTurtle
This technology can reduce the use of kerosene, which is a primary energy
source in many rural communities, while increasing access to cheaper, cleaner,
safer energy for longer periods. If Solar Turtle could meet a market penetration
of 100 villages by 2024 it could service 720 000 people and provide avoided
emissions from kerosene of 7000 tons of CO2.
