2 days live workshop on 8th and 9th November 2024. Timings: 5 to 7 PM.

Workshop Modules

1. Introduction to Greenhouse Gases

Greenhouse Gases, Greenhouse Effect, Types of Greenhouse Gases, and the Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Breakdown (2022) explain the role of gases in trapping heat in the atmosphere. These concepts are crucial for understanding climate change and the impact of human activities on global warming.

The history of GHG introduction involves key figures who brought greenhouse gas concerns to global attention, alongside driving authorities and guidance institutions. Significant moments include landmark climate agreements that have shaped the global response to climate change.

Primary Sources of Greenhouse Gases identify the main contributors to emissions, including fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, agricultural practices, and waste management. Additionally, Sector-wise Greenhouse Gases Emissions Globally highlights the distribution of emissions across various sectors such as energy, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing, providing insights into the sectors that require targeted mitigation strategies

Ozone Depletion Potential, Global Warming Potential (GWP) of Greenhouse Gases, Carbon Dioxide Equivalent, and Emission Factors

2. GHG Accounting Overview

What is GHG accounting and how is it different from carbon accounting

Why GHG Accounting is Essential, focusing on the corporate needs for accurate emissions tracking and management. It delves into the various ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) related regulations globally, emphasizing the importance of compliance for businesses and the role of GHG accounting in achieving sustainability goals

3. GHG standards Overview

Key GHG Standards include GHG Accounting Principles, the GHG Protocol, and its associated standards. The International Organization for Standards (ISO) – 14064 further complements these standards, detailing requirements for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions in ISO 14064 – Part 1, 2, and 3.

GHG Accounting Standards Comparison analyzes various GHG accounting standards, highlighting the differences and similarities in methodologies, reporting requirements, and applicability across different sectors. This comparison helps organizations choose the appropriate framework for their emissions reporting and management.

4. Step by step GHG accounting

An overview of the steps included in GHG Accounting

Inventory Design focuses on Setting Inventory Boundaries, which involves understanding the Organizational Boundary and Operational Boundary. It also includes a discussion on the Inventory Boundaries of an Example Company and outlines the Next Steps for effective inventory management in GHG accounting.

5. Scope 1

Scope 1 Emissions covers the direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. It includes a Step-by-Step Process for Calculating these emissions and outlines the Categories for Calculating Scope 1 Emissions, ensuring accurate measurement and reporting.

Process for Calculating Scope 1 – Stationary Combustion Emissions includes several key steps: Identify Emission Sources, Collect Activity Data, and Gather Appropriate Emission Factors. Next, convert data to common units and Calculate GHG Emissions in CO2e. A Calculation Example is provided to illustrate the process.

Process for Calculating Scope 1 – Mobile Combustion Emissions involves several key steps: Identify Emission Sources, Collect Activity Data, and Gather Appropriate Emission Factors. Following this, convert the data to common units and Calculate GHG Emissions in CO2e. A Calculation Example is included to demonstrate the process.

Process for Calculating Scope 1 – Fugitive Combustion Emissions includes several essential steps: Identify Emission Sources, Collect Activity Data, and Gather Appropriate Emission Factors. Next, convert the data to common units and Calculate GHG Emissions in CO2e. A Calculation Example is provided to illustrate the process.

6. Scope 2

Introduction of Scope 2 Emissions provides an overview of indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by an organization. Understanding Scope 2 emissions is crucial for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and enhance sustainability efforts, as these emissions are often significant in overall greenhouse gas inventories.

Identify Emission Sources, Collect Activity Data, Select Approach and Gather Appropriate Emission Factors, Convert to Common Units, and Calculate GHG Emissions in CO2e. A Calculation Example is also included to illustrate the process.
