Bars and cafés

Your bar, a meeting point. For the planet too.

Know the emissions of your energy consumption, reduce where possible, and consider offsetting by supporting documented projects.

Contemporary counter of a café

The venue in operation

From breakfast to the last cup.

The bill combines many uses together. The calculator avoids adding up individual appliances again.

Espresso machine and equipment

Their consumption is already part of the electricity bill: it is not added a second time.

Counter and refrigeration

Energy is included in the bill; any refrigerant leaks require separate technical data.

Washing and any kitchen use

Dishwashers, hot water and preparation affect consumption through electricity or fuels actually declared.

Lighting and air conditioning

Lighting and comfort of the venue are included in annual consumption, without estimates per individual appliance.

Barista preparing an espresso at the counter

Readable data starts with the right period.

Twelve full months allow you to understand seasonality, air conditioning and the bar's real pace.

From data to action

Understand, reduce, then offset.

  1. 01

    Data

    Collect twelve months of bills and separate the energy sources actually used.

  2. 02

    Estimate

    Calculate the CO₂ of consumption with stated factors, units and year.

  3. 03

    Reduction

    Review hours, temperatures, maintenance and equipment without duplicating consumption.

  4. 04

    Documented contribution

    After reduction, the remaining emissions can be complemented by documented projects and retirements.

Offsetting complements emission reduction. The calculator's result does not prove that a contribution or retirement took place.

Bar calculator

Estimate the emissions of energy consumption.

Enter your bills' annual data. Empty fields remain excluded; no standard consumption is attributed to a cup.

Enter the annual consumption from your bills. Leave a source blank if it is not used. Natural gas must be entered only once: either in cubic metres or in kWh, not both.

It is only used to split the energy share; it does not estimate the footprint of a drink or a receipt.

Transparent method

How we calculate emissions

For each source we apply annual consumption × kg CO₂ factor per unit. We only sum results expressed in the same CO₂ indicator. We do not arbitrarily convert m³ into kWh and do not include WTT or life cycle.

Included

Purchased electricity and on-site combustion of the stated sources over twelve months.

Excluded

Coffee, milk, ingredients, refrigerants, packaging, waste, deliveries, equipment and life cycle.

Primary sources, rows and limits

Electricity: final Italian national consumption factor for 2024 from ISPRA, 192.6 g CO₂/kWh, i.e. 0.1926 kg CO₂/kWh. Natural gas and LPG: only the Scope 1 CO₂ component from DESNZ 2026 used as a UK proxy, respectively 2.02231 kg/m³, 0.18194 kg/kWh GCV and 1.55491 kg/l. No WTT.

From the counter to people

A gesture at the till, a contribution that keeps going.

In the agreed journey, customers can choose to take part; the till prints a code on the receipt to redeem online. Compatibility and configuration must be checked for each system.

Badge and documentation

Communicate only what actually happened.

Badges, certificates and project references are linked to the actual journey and its documentation. The energy estimate alone does not certify the bar.

The supported project, the period and any retirement must remain verifiable and separate from the preliminary calculation.

How documentation works

Frequently asked questions

Clear boundaries at the counter too.

Bring your bar's real consumption into the HapGree journey.

We assess together data, reduction, offsetting and documentation.
