Agenda
Session 2, 9th
May,
Best practice in carbon management:
1. MEASURE: Carbon footprinting
2. REDUCE: the impact of improved driving
techniques and how fleets can be
monitored via telematics and tools
3. REPLACE: lowering your carbon footprint
through making alternative choices
4. NEUTRALIZE: how carbon offsetting can
work as part of a broader carbon
management strategy
5. CERTIFICATION: Documentation &
validation

Measuring your carbon footprint
• Annual measurement, relating to a 12 month data period. The first time you do this
represents the ‘base year’
• Be clear on what you are looking to include. Are you looking to measure all of your
emissions (scope 1,2 & 3) or just elements such as emissions from fuel use.
• Think about what you are looking to measure. Climate change is caused not just by CO2
emissions but by other Green House Gas emissions including methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF
6)
• Make sure the data is coming from robust sources
• FORS performance management toolkit which supports the baseline of data. Once a
member gains a silver award they must show progression in carbon reduction
Measure – carbon footprinting
6
Using fuel supplier information to baseline emissions
• Suppliers of fuel often have systems which
can provide robust data
• BP uses Fleet Expert across Europe to
provide customers with information on fuel
purchases and associated CO2e emissions
• It also allows other supplier information to be
imported, so users can get a complete
picture
• Integrated with our fuel cards
• Log C02 emissions based on vehicle type
and fuel spend
• Build a report on annual fleet C02 emissions
Measure – carbon footprinting

FORS offer a range of training and support to help fleets improve driving efficiency and fuel savings
Efficient driving can slash fuel bills, reduce maintenance and
CO2 emissions
11
Reduce – The impact of improved driver techniques
Here are some simple ways you can improve the efficiency of your fleet
Check tyre pressure
Remove excess weight
Air Conditioning Smarter driving
Telematics
Reduce – The impact of improved driver techniques
12
Telematics helps in three ways:
Idling
It is estimated you can burn around 2/3 litres of fuel per hour idling
depending on the type of vehicle
Route Optimisation
Saving 15% on journey time and fuel by using real time map, traffic updates,
historic speed data
Driver Behaviour
Supporting a safer and more fuel efficient driving style
Advanced route planning
Live traffic information
Live updates
CO2 reports
Active driver feedback
Question: Which of these techniques are you using across your
fleet?

Key elements to consider:
All of this must be considered in light of your business, as you are a unique
organisation with circumstances specific to you
Vehicle Choice Tyres Lubricants Fuels
Vehicle Choice
A wide range of alternative transportation modes is becoming available, each with its own advantages and drawbacks.
Lets explore a few of them:
Electric Vehicles
• Increasingly viable as costs are falling, and distance range is increasing.
• EV’s can typically do 150 miles on a single charge
• Recharging is also becoming faster making it more viable (30 mins, 80%
charge)
• From a carbon perspective they can be a great alternative…if the
electricity supplying them is low carbon
EV sales are growing fast with nearly 20,000 new EV registrations across Europe in Jan 17. In the US, Jan 17, EV’s accounted for 1% of total auto sales. This is in line with BP’s Energy Outlook 2017 which forecasts growth of EV’s from 1.2 million in 2015 to around 100 million by 2035 But EV growth has been seen in passenger cars, not in the HGV market…but that could be about to change

Can tyres help you achieve fuel efficiency?
Increasingly tyre manufacturers are producing products with fuel efficiency claims
Case Study: Samworth Brothers
Rplace
• Conducted a year long trial with Michelin energy saving tyres • After testing against another premium brand, Michelin's regional
tread pattern tyres to be 1.19 more fuel efficient, saving around 252 tonnes of CO2 emissions has been reduced annually across Samworth Brothers' national fleet of 124 tractor units and 200 refrigerated trailers
• This also creates a carbon saving in the need for fewer tyres to be produced

Lubricants – achieving fuel efficiency
Replace – making alternative choices
- New lubricant technology is supporting fuel economy
- In 2016 Castrol launched a new low viscosity in partnership with VW
- Provides 2l diesel drivers with 4% fuel saving over the course of a driving year compared to reference oil
- Customers using Castrol EDGE LL IV FE 0W-20 will, on average, only need to change their oil every 2yrs at 30,000km instead of every year at 15,000kms

Premium Fuels
• Dirt is a hidden enemy…It can form and build up
on critical engine parts over time, and can
contribute to:
• Reduced engine performance
• Loss of responsiveness
• Reduced smooth running
• Critical engine parts, such as fuel injectors, needing
repair
Replace – making alternative choices

Question – Which of these activities are you undertaking to
replace higher emissions alternatives?

Carbon Offsetting is about creating a balance between those activities which release CO2 into the atmosphere between those activities which decrease or avoid or CO2 being released
By creating a market where people can buy and sell co2 credits - an emission released on one part of the planet can be offset by a reduction somewhere else
Carbon Offsetting explained
Neutralize – using carbon offsetting
22
Building carbon offsetting into your plan
• Seek high-quality, certified carbon credits which meet the following criteria: • From approved schemes (e.g. Clean Development Mechanism, Gold Standard or Voluntary Carbon Standard)
• Support co-benefits by providing more than just carbon reduction. • Carbon offsetting can support communities in environmental, economic and social development as well
• BP Target Neutral seeks co-benefits through projects which deliver against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
