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?
