CARBON FOOTPRINTING

16TH JANUARY 2014

CARBON FOOTPRINTING TODAY’S PRESENTER

SIMON ALSBURY Technical Director at Energise and have provided energy and carbon reduction services to

over 250 organisations in the commercial and public sectors. Since founding in 2008, some highlights of our achievements:

we have delivered over £6 million in energy savings provided CRC advice to over 5% of CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme participants Project managed the delivery for Bristol SmartSpaces – a UN Big Data Climate

Challenge “Project to Watch” 9 years’ experience of working to help organisations identify and implement opportunities

for managing energy, water and waste. My focus is on implementing innovative systems and processes for effective energy management.

Simon has the following professional affiliations and qualifications: CIBSE Low Carbon Consultant, Low Carbon Energy Assessor & ESOS Lead Assessor Associate member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment

(AIEMA) Affiliate member of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers BSc (Honours) from Loughborough University Graduate member of the Energy Institute Won various awards for delivery of energy and/or sustainability programmes

CARBON FOOTPRINTING TIMETABLE FOR THIS WORKSHOP

TIMETABLE Structure of this session, and session on April 16th Carbon Footprinting – the basics

Scopes Boundaries Data Tests

Emission Scopes Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3

Discussion of examples Discussion of some projects Possible tools/reporting structures Methodology

CARBON FOOTPRINTING STRUCTURE

TIMETABLE This session is to focus as a workshop

Lessons from last years reporting How to record data What type of projects are you analysing? The aims:

Understand the carbon footprinting challenges better Develop an understanding of what level of analysis/recording is “acceptable” Review any known challenges

The next session is to focus on methodology, more of a training session Agreed principles of reporting Detail as to how to handle specific challenges identified in session one Numerous worked examples Some tools and materials will be provided to assist in your work after that session

CARBON FOOTPRINTING SCOPES

SCOPE 1 AND 2 the combustion of fuel, e.g.:

◦ Stationary combustion: combustion of fuels in stationary equipment such as boilers, furnaces, burners, turbines, heaters, incinerators, engines, flares, etc.

◦ Mobile combustion: combustion of fuels in transportation devices such as automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, boats, ships, barges, vessels, etc.

the operation of any facility◦ This category is not limited to emission sources that are permanent or land-based or stationary. This

category would also include emission sources that are: mobile; temporary e.g. mobile offices; and marine-based e.g. oil production platforms. The following types of sources of emissions should be considered when identifying emissions on which to report Process emissions: emissions from physical or chemical processes such as CO2 from the calcination step

in cement manufacturing, CO2 from catalytic cracking in petrochemical processing, PFC emissions from aluminium smelting, etc.

Fugitive emissions: intentional and unintentional releases such as equipment leaks from joints, seals, packing, gaskets, as well as fugitive emissions from coal piles, wastewater treatment, pits, cooling towers, gas processing facilities, etc.

a separate figure giving the annual quantity of emissions in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent resulting from the purchase of electricity, heat, steam or cooling by the company for its own use.

CARBON FOOTPRINTING DATA TESTS

DATA TESTS Relevance – Does it relate to the emissions scope and activities as set out? Completeness – Is the data sufficiently complete to be useful? Consistency – Is the data consistent with the data previously used to assess the same

activity/emission source? Accuracy – Is the data of sufficient accuracy for its use to be appropriate? Transparency – Can the data be audited, and the original source of the information be traced?
