From Supply Chain to Factory Floor: Advice That Gets Delivered.
Most consultants hand you a report and leave. Our engineering-led team finds the savings, engineers the fix, and delivers it.
Carbon Stream Mapping and our technology follows your emissions across the whole value chain, from farm gate to finished product, so decisions are tied to your real footprint, not just estimates.
How to start with us
Expertise for every stage of your journey.
Talk to us and we will design an initial FAST® program for your business.
Or tell us the challenges you have in your agricultural supply chain and we will give you the solution with VSAg.

FAQs
Your questions, answered.
-
What is the FAST program?
-
What do we receive at the end of it?Six deliverables: a carbon baseline, an opportunity register, a climate action roadmap, an investment plan, staff training and strategic targets. The roadmap is sequenced so low-cost and no-cost measures come first.
-
Will the work support ISO 50001 certification or our SI 426 obligations?Yes. Audits are carried out to EN 16247 and ISO 50002 by SEAI Registered Energy Auditors. That is the basis both for SI 426 compliance in Ireland and for the energy review stage of ISO 50001.
-
Is funding available to cover advisory work?Often, yes. In Ireland we help clients navigate Enterprise Ireland and SEAI supports, including the Climate Action Voucher up to €1,800, GreenStart up to €5,000, Strategic Consultancy up to €35,000, GreenPlus up to €50,000 and EXEED up to €3 million subject to program criteria. In Massachusetts, Mass Save provides assessments, rebates and custom incentives depending on the project and the technology involved.
-
How is this different from a consultant's report?Most consultants hand over a report and leave. The same engineering team that finds the savings designs the fix and delivers it. Carbon Stream Mapping traces emissions across the value chain, from farm gate to finished product, so decisions rest on your real footprint rather than estimates.
