# Carbon Insight > Know the carbon impact of every decision, alongside what each process is worth. Model Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon intensity with LINQ, in the same model as Economic Process Modelling, and predict how changes will affect future emissions. Source: https://thinklikelinq.com/carbon-insight/ # Know the carbon impact of _every decision_ LINQ models **Scope 1, 2 and 3** carbon intensity in the same model that shows what each process is worth, so you can cut emissions without cutting value, and predict how every change will affect future emissions.

Run models and test scenarios in record time to make the most informed decisions at every stage of the journey. ### Easily track Scope 3 emissions Many organisations struggle with Scope 3 emissions, which often account for the largest share of their carbon footprint. LINQ demystifies Scope 3 by showing you exactly where your business can act, even across complex supply chains. ### Lasting decarbonisation success Build a living model of how your organisation works, with its economic value and its emissions side by side, that can support your decarbonisation journey for the next 20 years or more. ### Showcase your decarbonisation strategy Demonstrate the completeness of your decarbonisation strategy to regulators, bankers, insurers, customers, investors and staff. ## Cut emissions, _not value_ A carbon figure on its own can’t tell you whether a step is worth keeping. LINQ’s Economic Process Modelling scores every part of a process for what it contributes to revenue, cost, risk, option value and information value. Carbon Insight puts its emissions alongside, in the same model. - **Steps that destroy value and emit carbon** The first to go: removing them cuts emissions and cost together. - **Steps that create value and emit carbon** Redesign these, rather than cut them, so the value survives the change. - **Changes you are about to make** Model them first and see the effect on value and emissions before you commit.
