Abstract
Various embodiments are described herein for methods, devices and systems that can be used to track at least one emission type generated, directly or indirectly, by an entity. In one example embodiment, the system includes an emission tracking device coupled to the entity, where the emission tracking device receives a first emission data received at a first time and a second emission data received at a second time after implementation of one or more emission reduction steps. The system further includes an external processor in communication with the emission tracking device, where the external processor is configured to analyze the first emission data to determine an emission baseline, analyze the second emission data to determine a second emission output value, and determine an emission offset measurement corresponding to the at least one emission type based on the emission baseline and the second emission output value.
