The new Carbon Analysis capabilities enable infrastructure engineers to simplify carbon reporting, easily visualize embodied carbon, and rapidly explore alternatives for better designs. Embodied carbon is the carbon footprint of an asset before it is built, encompassing the greenhouse gases emitted during the construction process. Bentley’s new Carbon Analysis capabilities deliver a “cradle-to-gate” assessment of a design’s carbon footprint, from raw material extraction until it leaves the factory’s gate—which represent the largest contributors to embodied carbon. “Between now and 2050, embodied carbon linked to new infrastructure, is projected to be
