Greenhouse

“It’s an old aphorism that what gets measured gets done.”

Measuring your company’s greenhouse gas emissions is the first step to reducing your emissions and reducing your risk in a future carbon constrained economy.  The Australian Emissions Trading Scheme will begin in 2011 and companies that measure their emissions now and take steps to reduce them will stay ahead of the competition and cut business costs associated with energy consumption and a carbon price. 

Even businesses that fall below the carbon threshold have the opportunity for a market advantage by determining their carbon footprint and taking steps to reduce emissions through improved energy efficiency.

Decora Carbon can assist you with your Life Cycle Inventory, Life Cycle Assessment and Emissions Monitoring Plan – all required for certification and to ensure your project is independently verified and accredited.

• The Life Cycle Inventory calculates the greenhouse gas emissions – in units of carbon dioxide equivalent – arising from stationary energy (electricity, gas and fuel), transport and plant vehicles, industrial and unit processes, waste treatment and disposal, space heating and air-conditioning and other relevant sources.
  
  
• The Life Cycle Assessment report details the methodology used in compiling the inventory, discusses the accuracy of the data, the procedures and calculations used.
  
  
• The Emissions Monitoring Plan details the business systems and processes in place and steps required to improve the accuracy of the data, inventory and assessment.
