## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Chase Carbon?
A: Chase Carbon is a NZ-based SaaS platform for measuring, reporting and reducing carbon emissions.
   It serves businesses (BET), event organisers (CCT), hotels and travel operators (HET), individuals (PET),
   and nature credit buyers (CCNC/CCC).

Q: What is the Hospitality & Travel Emissions Tracker (HET)?
A: HET is Chase Carbon's product for hotels, holding companies and travel operators (coach, rail, ferry,
   tour, rideshare, travel intermediaries and attractions/venues). It tracks accommodation, F&B, fleet and
   passenger-km activity, and reports per-guest-day, per-passenger-km and per-departure intensity metrics.
   Hospitality is priced by guest rooms (including a Multi-Site option for portfolios/holding companies/
   management companies); travel operator plans are priced by trips tracked per month, never per-passenger.

Q: What emission factors does Chase Carbon use?
A: The default factors are the NZ Ministry for the Environment (MfE) 2025 emission factors.
   The platform also supports UK DEFRA, US EPA, EU, and Australian factors via a multi-zone system.

Q: What is the difference between carbon credits and nature credits?
A: Carbon credits (CCC) represent verified tonnes of CO2 avoided or removed - e.g. reforestation, renewables.
   Nature credits (CCNC) represent broader ecological outcomes - biodiversity, water quality, soil health -
   not just carbon, using the Chase Carbon Nature Standard (CCNS) methodology.

Q: Is Chase Carbon GHG Protocol compliant?
A: Yes. The Business Emissions Tracker covers all three scopes and all 15 Scope 3 categories
   per the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Reports can be exported for regulatory disclosure.

Q: How does the Conference Carbon Tracker work?
A: Hosts create an event and invite attendees, exhibitors and venues. Each role logs their own data
   (flights, accommodation, energy, catering). The CCT aggregates these and produces an event carbon report
   aligned with ISO 20121. Attendees can offset their footprint via integrated carbon credit purchasing.
