Carbon Credit Audits
Carbon/Greenhouse Gas Management ~ Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the burning of fossil fuels has contributed to a 40% increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and GHG emissions have increased at an average rate of ~1.5 per year since the 1970s in the United States alone. As a global issue, collaboration is one of the keys to success in managing GHG/Carbon gases.
Rigel works within the industry standards and protocols to assist in not only the accounting of GHG/Carbon but also in providing Carbon Output Calculations, Carbon Credit Verification and Carbon Credit Markets for our clients.
WHAT'S MY CARBON FOOTPRINT?
The carbon footprint is quantified using indicators such as the Global Warming Potential (GWP). As defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)2 , a GWP is an indicator that reflects the relative effect of a greenhouse gas in terms of climate change considering a fixed time period, such as 100 years (GWP100).
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol celebrates its 15th anniversary. A joint initiative of WRI and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the GHG Protocol was established to develop and promote the use of best practices for accounting and reporting GHG emissions. It since has become the preeminent standards-setting organization in the field of GHG accounting, with the Corporate Standard considered the "gold standard" for corporate emissions measurement around the world.
Have your carbon footprint accurately calculated.
VERIFY YOUR CARBON CREDITS
Using the GHG Protocol standards, companies are able to determine their GHG emissions profile, identify reduction opportunities and set and track progress toward reduction targets.
Success stories include:
-
Office Depot: The company adopted a goal of reducing its U.S. GHG emissions by 20 percent between 2007 and 2012. In 2011, Office Depot had reduced its emissions by 29 percent through investments in energy efficiency and green building initiatives.
-
Sony Corporation: Sony had committed to achieving a 7 percent reduction in emissions from all Sony Group sites by fiscal 2010, relative to 2000 levels. As of 2009, it reduced its emissions by 2 percent through changes to its manufacturing processes and the installation of advanced energy systems.
