In this Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) attendees will learn how to perform an effective greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory ( carbon footprint ) per global and US standards.
Why Should You Attend:Climate change, energy conservation, and sustainability are major issues to business these days. Savvy businesses recognize that these are more than environmental concern; they actually represent core business concerns. Many firms are also learning the many business benefits of having a robust program, whether it be called a green , energy conservation, or climate change program, such as reduced energy costs, potential revenue from carbon credits, satisfying customers (most importantly, Walmart), and others. In addition, Congress has wrestled with Climate legislation and will likely promulgate some GHG emission reduction rule in the future. In the meantime, a number of states and regions are passing such rules.
This presentation will cover the US- and internationally-accepted techniques to perform a baseline GHG emissions inventory or carbon footprint, including what data to collect, how to do so, how to perform the calculations, roles and responsibilities, and what to do with your baseline inventory when complete. They will learn the many financial benefits of such an effort. Attendees will learn how to set up the inventory, what types of data are commonly found in the plants and other records needed, and how GHG emissions are calculated.
