 I know we are ending the day and this is the last session of the day. I hope we are not going to bore you and we'll try to engage you. Thank you for joining us, guys. All right. So, I'm so sorry. All right. So, we are from Shridjan. I just wanted to share this news. First of all, last week there was a press release that Material Plus Company has a co-ed Shridjan. So, we are actually now Shridjan, a Material Plus Company. I'm not sure if you are already aware of it, but I thought I should share this good news with you. So, yeah, I'm in this collaboration with Material Plus. We are quite positive about it and I hope things will work the way we wanted. If you want more details, maybe you can just browse Shridjan.net and you will get more details about it, how this collaboration happened and what is the strategy behind it and all the stuff you will get to know more about it from there. All right. So, this is the introduction here. I'm Rina Tripati. I'm based in London. I'm playing the role of an account manager and the delivery director. Based on the projects, actually, we have to switch the roles and yeah. So, it's been seven years with Shridjan now and yeah, things are going pretty well here. Sid, Arunimami, please introduce yourself. Hi everyone, I'm Sidharth Goswami. I'm the delivery manager. I have been with Shridjan for almost close to seven plus years, leading a delivery management role in sustainable domain currently, handling sustainable projects. And working with the two of my colleagues in the same project. Thanks, Sid. Hi everyone, I'm Arunimami. I'm a senior product manager with Shridjan, been with Shridjan for four years and I've worked across diverse domains but primarily very passionate about learning, sustainability and inclusion. All right, so yeah. Today's topic is delivering an enterprise application on the carbon emission side, how we measure the carbon footprint and what are the abatement we are doing around it. So, the pathways around it, how we can reduce the carbon emission. So, this is all about the IT solution which we are building for one of our key customer here. The agenda for today's discussion would be about net zero carbon emission. We are going to detail you about what exactly it is, the terminology. We'll explain that and also what is the road path around it. With regards to the project, we'll explain what is the context, what is the solution, the process workflow we are following, what is the architecture, how Drupal is introduced here. And then the application demo. This is not the real application demo but yes, we would be demonstrating the prototype which we have built. And then the feedback and the question answers. All right, so we'll start with this. I know everybody is talking about rising global average temperature. We know that this is the hot topic and everybody's experiencing it around the globe. As you see the picture here on the left-hand side, I mean this is quite interesting and quite alarming as well. If you see here on the right side, you see the graph, how this is jumping with respect to the rise in the temperature. From 1960 or 1980 onwards to 2019, you see that there is an increase of 0.18 degrees centigrade, temperature rise. But if you see on the left side, 1850, I think till 1940, there was an increase of 0.80. This is really alarming. 0.80 was the period, you know. From 1950 to 1940, this is an increase. But now every decade, we are increasing just double. What are we doing about it? What are the countries doing about it? What are the companies, organization, industry is doing about it? Now here it is road to net zero carbon emission. So first of all, let's understand what is net zero carbon emission. I hope you all have heard about greenhouse gases, right? So greenhouse gas emission, which is taking place these days because of human activities, it's rising. So when do we say that we will reach net zero carbon emission? This is when the greenhouse gases, which is being emitted through the human activities, when we come to the zero of it, when the absorption is equal in the equal amount, that time we say that it is going to be net zero emission. But how do we achieve that? And what do we exactly mean by human activities? There are fossil fuels, right? We are just doing, cutting down the trees. This is all what's happening around the globe. Now what are the countries, what are the industries? All the countries doing about it. So this is the roadmap, which you can see here, starting from 2009. There are some scientists, they have published the paper that this increase of the global warming is the impact of CO2 emission in the greenhouse gases, which is a combination of multiple gases in the greenhouse. 2013, again there was a report issued that this eventual rise is because of CO2. I mean, in all the reports you will see here, this part, in Paris Agreement 2015, what happened? 196 countries, sorry, 196 countries participated in the Paris Agreement and they talked about this global warming and there everybody took the pledge that we are not going 1.5 degree centigrade global average. We are not going beyond that. And for that we have to come up with some sort of options, the strategy and everybody started working towards that. Again in 2018, there was a report again which concludes the same thing, that we have to come up with a net zero, at least by 2050. That was the step which was taken. 2021, there was a COP26 glass glow, which happened again. I mean, where they have reviewed what was laid out in the Paris Agreement, where they talked about that this is what we have to do and they have reviewed where we stand right now with respect to this. All the countries they have presented, the options, the solutions from their side to this COP26 and from there, the strategy was laid. That by 2013, we have to reduce to 45% at least and by 2050, we have to really reach, we have to really reach net zero carbon emission. This means that we have to really work a lot around it and around this, we have started building a solution which we are going to present to you, in terms of the IT, what we are doing and we can directly relate it to it. This is what we are going to show. Sorry, my, thanks, can I have this data? Thank you. So, Rina introduced the concept of net zero to you guys, also explained what the world is doing about it. Before I go to the next slide, I just want to ask a question to you guys, like, I know it's a small audience, but have you guys just give, just spend like the next 10 seconds thinking about what your carbon footprint was, just to get here today or maybe what is the carbon footprint of this Drupalcon that's happening right now? That's the question that is answered by the solution that we built. Just the vision of the client here is to be able to build a client service platform. Why I say client service is because it's not being consumed by the, by our client, but it's actually for clients, for their clients, where they would help industry sectors, organizations transform and get to net zero and we're going to see how that's going to happen, right? There were two desired outcomes, goals, of course, one on the business side, one on the user side. The business side, obviously, is to be able to help those clients catalyze their decarbonization strategies, right? So, when we talk about decarbonization and my question earlier, right, what is the carbon footprint, let's say, of this Drupalcon that's happening right now? There needs to be a way to measure it and then a way to figure out how that carbon footprint can be reduced, right? What are the alternative technologies that can be used to do that, right? That's the decarbonization strategy building part of it, right? And does it, does it, is it only limited to a certain event and activity? So, that decarbonization extends beyond an activity or just a process, right? It extends to products, like manufacturing, industry products. It extends to processes happening within, within a system, right? It also extends to activity, right? Let's say being able to decarbonize the, you know, all the transport within a city, right? So, that's the business, that was one of the business goals, to be able to catalyze their decarbonization strategies for their client and also being able to realign and reallocate capital into sustainability transformation. Why? Because when you are adopting alternative technologies there's a cost associated with it. So, being able to define what that realignment should be, what is that additional cost that's gonna be incurred is what was the second business goal that we were tackling. When I say user as the second set of our, you know, for consumers of this tool, I'm referring specifically to those modellers who are working on these projects, who are working on these strategies. So, for them the target was to be able to reduce the cost and effort offset of for multiple clients, being able to, you know, look at, and Sir is going to later on talk about the architecture. So, I'm not going to dwell very deeply on this, but how can that multiple client set up be done? And then being able to generate and analyze the models for the different products, for different assets, for different processes. So, that's like a summary of what we did. How we did it is, so this is basically a decarbonization strategy is like a four step approach, right? You have to first measure what, first identify where are those areas where we are, where the client might be exposed to a climate risk, right? With all the floods and the droughts and, you know, landslides that are happening, there's an element of climate risk that has come up into everything, into assets, into real estate. So, being able to identify where they are exposed to such a climate risk. This could be done through, you know, which location they are placed at, what is their supply chain looking like, what is their bill of materials looking like, and other support processes. The second step once this identification has been made is to analyze the current baselines. What is the current emission like we spoke of? And this combines the processes along with the technology data. So, their current emission data sets as well as the technology data, a combination of that is used to analyze the current baseline emission and then go to exploring alternative pathways, exploring other opportunities, which again, we use a lot of technology data to do that and there's more coming up in the slides on the pathways explorer. And then finally being able to identify what's the cost of abatement, right? What is the cost that's going to go in to be able to find, to be able to pivot to this decarbonization strategy. We've got a quick demo of, oh, sorry, that's going to come later, but yeah, we're going to talk more about each of these steps in detail now, which it is going to do. And then towards the end, we'll see a quick demo of how that's going to look in real life. Yeah, thank you, Varunima. All right. So in order to understand the application better, we need to understand the underlying concept behind it. And to be able to do that, we'll be taking one of the examples and we'll drive through those. What are the different steps? The first step itself is identifying the product structure. A product, the end product is, like it's made up of different components, parts, assemblies, and raw material. And why it is important to do this is because we are following a bottom-up approach. We are trying to identify the emissions at the bottom layer and then take it to the top level. And to present this in a way, there are two ways of doing that. One is your single level of presentation where you have an end product and just associating with the raw material, but that won't help you much. Reason being you won't be able to, it's not a holistic view. Also it will not give you the ability or the flexibility to play with the different alternatives. That's why the multiple hierarchy has been chosen. Where you break down the end product into different components and then different components into different raw materials. Let's see this with the help of an example, sorry. So the first example where we have the end product and then we have the raw materials. The other one is a more like a deeper level of hierarchy where you have end products and then you have assemblies, components, and raw material. For simplicity sake, we are going to talk only about the two levels right now, which is your end product, components, and raw materials. The second step is understanding the scope. You need to understand your carbon footprint. To be able to do that, to understand your carbon footprint, you should be able to identify what are the different level of emissions which are going into it. According to GSD protocol standards, globally we are using three scopes. Scope one, scope two, scope three. We're gonna talk about that. At a broader level, they have been categorized into direct emissions and indirect emissions. The direct emissions are the emissions that you're generating directly from your plants. The indirect emissions are broadly classified into two scopes which are scope two and scope three. The scope two are your, for example, let's say, to be able to explain this in terms of an example, your any kind of components or any kind of parts that you are outsourcing it to any other vendor or utility company that is producing at an offshore site that becomes your indirect emissions. Then you have the other scope which is scope three, which is related to your emissions generating out of your value chain. Materials and logistic being the part of it. How does it transform into the example that we were taking? We already have identified the components and raw material already. What we have brought into the picture is the logistic part of it. So let's say your raw material is coming from, you are getting it from different locations through land, air, and water, and you're using railfrites and your airfrites and oceanfrites. So these are your scope three, which is your logistic part. Scope one, you are producing any of the processes that you're doing on your current plant, whether it is related to factory heating or your final assembly, you're using energies. You are consuming energies on your on-site locations. So all those become part of your scope one. And if you are outsourcing anything to, or you are producing any component or any part at an offshore location, that becomes scope three. Scope two. Once you have identified product structure, you have identified scopes associated or the different type of emissions. What we need to do is, what are the current level? We need to identify what are the current level of emissions in your current manufacturing process. Why it is needed? We should be able to visualize the areas of abatement. And this will help us in prioritizing the abatement options that we would have. Again, let's see this with an example. I've specially highlighted one of the areas which is handlebar, which is kind of a component which is using titanium and carbon fiber. Each of these raw material has an emission intensity associated with it. You already know how much of KG or a network we are using to it. So you will be able to identify what is the emission generated in your manufacturing process. Once you identify the emissions at the raw material level, you will be able to identify at the component level. And again, once you do that for the entire value chain or the entire scope that you have, you will be able to identify for a per unit of product. Now we have the current emissions. What we need to do is explore what are the abatement options available to us. And the abatement option are generally the abatement potential in terms of the carbon emission and the carbon cost. So now we were using titanium, which was as per our current manufacturing process. We can replace it with a greener technology. A greener technology titanium has been replaced as you can see in the terms of handlebar. So we know that all of these replacement is actually abating the potential in terms of carbon emissions. But what is the cost associated with it? We see that, and this is just an example of the locations I've added. It's only an example, it's not a real life scenario. Green titanium, which we are procuring from USM, maybe it's actually abating or abating the emissions, but it is actually costlier or it's actually expensive as compared to the previous raw material. But if I procure it from a different location, Taiwan, then probably I will be able to meet the abatement potential goals as well as my cost goals. At a technology level, if we have to speak about, we are using the headless approach where we are using at the backhand Drupal. And in the front end, we are using react application. The application, this is an MEP version of the entire application that we have built so far. It is hosted on AWS cloud. All the assets that goes into the application, they are hosted on Amazon S3 buckets. And at the back end, we are using relational database to store time series data to get the data out of each of the alternatives. With this, I think without further ado, I will actually take you to the demo's part of it. Okay, so what we have put here is a very brief demo of the process of how the application actually functions. Just a disclaimer upfront, all the content here is placeholder, kind of like it's not real, does not come from any client or any technology data which is being pulled from any IP protected information. So what we have first, like for all, as the basis of all the calculation that we need, we need the technology data, right? So we have, initially we load all the technology data which includes things like what's it spoke, the GAPX, the OPEX, what is the current emission of this particular technology. And when we dive deeper into any technology, we are able to see in detail what is the different, what is the emission data year on year for a certain process of that technology as well as a certain emission type and the location from where the technology is being sourced. This forms like the basic database basis which all the baselines or all the abatements are calculated. Then on the other side, we have the product data. The product data is where we are loading all our products. So for example, here we have taken for an example, an automotive parts manufacturer. So if let's say somebody, so a user here can go in, add their product details, like what are all the different components? What is the net weight of that component in this particular product? What is the quantity? What is the material type? And this material type is key because this is what ties back to the technology data for this, so you might have different types of manufacturing processes for copper with different emission intensities for each of these. And then what is the source of this particular component? Where is this being sourced from? Once all this data is loaded for a product, they can view the baseline emission of this product. So here we see that this is broken down. So the information that was uploaded into the product along with the club together with the technology data that we have uploaded previously, we club that together to extract what is the material by material emission intensity. So you can see that what is per kg of material, the emission charted and you can also see which is, so here you can actually deduce, which is for the product owner, they can deduce which is the material that's contributing the most to their carbon emission in this product. They can also switch to a component view if they want to see, which is the component that's the maximum contributor. Once this is done, which is your baseline emission, they can view it. Now they want to explore alternative pathways to see how they can reduce. So what is the switches? The switches that Sid was talking of earlier, right? How can I switch? So can I switch, let's say my transport from, can I switch it to an electric vehicle? So as I play around with, let's say the permutation and combination of technologies over here, I can see my MAC curve, which is my abatement, which shows my abatement cost and abatement potential changing dynamically. This allows the user to sort of figure out which is the pathway that they want to pick up for their eventual decarbonization strategy. So I can build out like multiple pathways for each product. And I can set goals. And this is typically how we do, right? Like we set goals saying, okay, 2035, this is my pathway. Let's say this is my business as usual, my BAU pathway, which is like the default pathway that we see. So this allows the organization to make decisions. And this can be extended from products. It can be extended to processes. It can be extended to assets, real estate assets. It can also be extended to activities at a regional or a global level. And all of this using the power of Drupal's CMS in the backend. So yeah, I think with that, I think we've run out of time and we throw it open for any questions you guys have. So any questions? Yes. So the data for the technologies, right? This is, right, that the year on year data, the different, you know, the different emission intensities and the cost, that's sourced from multiple research institutes. Most of it is purchased data. And that's why we've not really shown real data over here. It's all placeholder, but most of it is purchased from research institutes. A lot of it is also published data. So some of the commonly used materials, emission and cost data, like the CapEx OpEx is actually published and available in an open domain, as an open, yeah, in the public domain. Yes, yes, yes, we do, we do that. So based on what, you know, what we are leveraging this tool for, is it for a product? Is it for activity? Because when we say activity, so let's say the kind of data we need is very different, right? So if you're looking at, let's say activities at a regional level, like being able to decarbonize, let's say the public transport within a city, right? Or being able to decarbonize, let's say, waste management within a country. So the kind of data, technology data, you need is very different from, let's say, decarbonizing something like a product manufacturing. So depending on where we're applying this, we work out what kind of data is required in the backend. Do you have any questions? Okay, who's hope you guys are able to pick? Yes, yes, so one of these tools is live. And just to put it in, you know, to quantify the numbers, the deployments of that tool have so far helped reduce around three trillion, you know, three trillion gigajoules of carbon emission within a certain region, for a certain client, yeah. So that's been for a while. Based on that, what we are doing, we are also deploying it to other industries as well. So other one is the next one, which we have picked is retail, sorry, what is the real estate industry? Yeah, so that is under process now. I hope we will be releasing it in another two or three months. But the concept will remain the same is just that the new components based on the industry will get changed. Okay, cool, if you guys have any other questions with around, you can connect with us. Thank you.
