2-MIN SUMMARY
Carbon accounting for corporates uses
three tiers: Scope 1 (direct combustion),
Scope 2 (purchased electricity), Scope 3
(everything else: supply chain, product
use, end-of-life). For most tech
companies, Scope 3 represents 70 to 85
percent of total carbon footprint. A
Microsoft Scope 3 audit might show 200,000
metric tonnes CO2e when Scope 1+2 combined
is 50,000 metric tonnes. The majority of
climate impact is in the supply chain and
customer use.
Thermopods, deployed by customers for
office cooling, appear in customer Scope 3
reporting as the purchased cooling
equipment. If Thermopods required
electricity (like traditional HVAC), every
watt of cooling would carry a carbon cost
at the customer's grid intensity rate. In
India, that is 0.65 kilograms CO2e per
kWh.
Biothermal Microconditioning inverts this.
Thermopods require no electricity during
operation. Customer Scope 3 emissions from
Thermopod operation are zero. Instead of
adding to a customer's carbon footprint,
Thermopods reduce it by displacing
mechanical HVAC. A customer deploying
1,000 Thermopods eliminates approximately
390 metric tonnes CO2e of annual cooling
emissions from their Scope 3 footprint.
Thermikron's manufacturing supply chain
also targets zero Scope 3 through local
sourcing and circular recovery. Areca
palms are propagated within 500 kilometres
of deployment. Coconut coir comes from
coconut processing waste, not virgin
extraction. Steel frames are made from
recycled steel. Terracotta is fired in
efficient kilns powered by residual
coconut shell biomass (a coconut
processing byproduct). At end-of-life, the
entire unit is recovered locally.
This is not aspirational. This is by
design. Biothermal Microconditioning is
built to zero out Scope 3. Customer carbon
footprints shrink. Thermikron's carbon
footprint is neutralised by end-of-life
recovery and supply chain circularity. The
system achieves climate benefit without
offset schemes, carbon credits, or hope.
Just physics and circular biology. Easy
Retrofit. One day deployment. Zero Scope 3
footprint.
