The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is updating its guidance, including on scope 2. Revisions will most likely include more granular attributes in terms of time- and location-matching: since most regulations use the GHGP as a foundational standard, these updates will have far-reaching implications. Check out our latest blog by Shehzad Wadalawala on what the GHGP scope 2 updates mean for companies. https://lnkd.in/gp4MrthA

I am thrilled to share that I have received my Scope 2 certificate, adhering to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol methodology for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). 📝 Scope 2 covers emissions from electricity consumption, reported using location-based and market-based methodologies. The GHG Protocol 🌍📊 provides global standards to measure and manage these emissions. #Sustainability #GHGProtocol #CSRD #Scope2 #CorporateSustainability

Celebrating Three Years of GHG Verification Success! We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully achieved ISO 14064-1:2018 #greenhouse gas (GHG) verification for three consecutive years! This significant milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainability and our proactive approach to environmental responsibility. 🌍 Why It Matters By exceeding regulatory requirements, we are not only taking responsibility for our carbon footprint but also setting an example for our industry. Our achievement reflects our dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering a sustainable future. 📊 Our Impact In 2023, we reported direct emissions of 250.33 tons CO2e and indirect emissions of 23,532.51 tons CO2e, totaling 23,782.84 tons CO2e. These figures highlight our ongoing efforts to optimize energy efficiency, expand renewable energy use, and enhance waste management practices. 💡 What’s Next? We are committed to continuing our journey towards greater sustainability. Our team will keep exploring innovative solutions to further reduce our environmental impact and fulfill our social responsibilities. A heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated employees and partners! Your hard work and commitment have made this achievement possible.

This Draft Summary Report provides a detailed #overview of this stakeholder feedback. The report builds on the “Topline Findings from Market-based Accounting Approaches Survey” webinar, hosted by GHG Protocol in October 2023, by providing a more comprehensive and detailed summary of responses.

https://lnkd.in/e4CFWmY [220 Pages Report] The global emission monitoring system market size is expected to grow from USD 3.2 billion in 2023 to USD 5.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2023 to 2028. Manufacturing companies are required to ensure that their pollutant emission rates are within specified limits. To achieve this, countries have issued laws and ordinances that provide detailed instructions for emission control measures. For instance, the Federal Emission Control Act was introduced in Germany, while the United States implemented the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Air Act. The concern over hazardous gas emissions has led to an increase in demand for emission monitoring systems that help protect the environment.

Here is the fourth and final blog of our UK ETS series. This blog focusses on the allowance costs, their avoidance and mitigation and looks at the future of ETS-EfW under net zero obligations. The previous blogs introducing the scheme, reviewing the DESNZ consultation and discussing the fossil carbon of waste can be found on our website and are linked in the past three posts. #ETS #EfW #EnergyfromWaste #EmissionsTradingScheme #LocalAuthorities #NetZero

UK ETS - a game changer for reducing use of plastics ? It was mentioned this week at a CIWM Midlands Centre event that UK ETS may have more impact on plastics reduction than the Plastic Packaging Tax or Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging. Also that local authorities are deeply concerned about its impact on their costs. Therefore, really helpful to have informative blogs on the subject from Frith Resource Management Limited . #ETS #wastemanagement #sustainability

ISO 14064-1 focuses on GHG inventories, ISO 14064-2 deals with GHG projects, and ISO 14064-3 covers validating and verifying GHG assertions. Together, these standards provide a comprehensive framework for organizations to measure, report, and manage their GHG emissions effectively. #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #ikshnh #energy #ClimateCrisis #SustainableFuture #ClimateLeadership #ClimateSolutions #ClimateJustice #ClimateAdaptation #NetZero #ClimateResilience #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyConservation #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #EnergySaving #SustainableEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergyManagement #EnergyInnovation #EnergyTransition

📣 We are thrilled to share that the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market has achieved a significant milestone: the Council is embarking on the assessment of 100+ active carbon credit methodologies for adherence to the robust Core Carbon Principles (CCPs). A dedicated expert group, involving members of the Governing Board, Expert Panel, and external stakeholders, has sorted these methodologies into 36 categories. The assessments will be conducted in one of three ways: 1️⃣ Categories covering 47% of carbon credits in the market that raise complex issues in specific areas will be assessed by Multi-Stakeholder Working Groups, including Expert Panel members and external experts with relevant knowledge in areas like renewable energy, improved forest management, efficient cookstoves, and reducing deforestation (known as REDD+ ~ Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries). 2️⃣ Categories covering 8% of carbon credits in the market will be assessed internally by the Integrity Council secretariat and members of our Expert Panel. These include capturing methane from mines and landfill sites, detecting and repairing leaks in gas systems, destroying chemicals that damage the ozone layer and reducing emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas sulphur hexafluoride. 3️⃣ Categories covering 1% of carbon credits in the market are considered unlikely to meet criteria in the CCP rulebook and will only be assessed once other assessments are complete. These include new natural gas power, waste heat recovery, and industrial energy efficiency. This work represents a critical next step in our work, which aims to deliver high-integrity standards in the carbon market. Stay tuned for the first decisions expected by the end of March! 🌐🍃 🔗 Find out more - https://lnkd.in/djyB8T78 #CarbonCredits #ClimateAction
