Bilan Carbone  is a carbon accounting method developed by Jean-Marc Jancovici in 2004 for ADEME (Agence de l'environnement et de la maîtrise de l'énergie). The aim of this method is to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a company, product, individual or community. Since 2011, the carbon footprint has been managed by ABC (Association Bilan Carbone).
