Carbon Accounting 101: Why its important and how to get started

In this article, we’ll explore what LCAs actually involve and what companies can do to carry out an effective one.

How to conduct a useful Life Cycle Assessment

In 2 minutes, find out what a life cycle analysis (LCA) is, what it involves, and the benefits of carrying out an LCA.

What is LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)?

Life cycle assessment is an important tool for making industries more sustainable. It allows industries to calculate the environmental impacts of their activities and determines options for improvement. It forms a bridge between the 'grey' environment (industry, world of man) and the 'green' environment (nature).

What is carbon accounting? Why is it important for your business? 

Greenly can help you make an environmental change for the better, starting with a carbon footprint assessment to know how much carbon emissions your company produces.

What is carbon accounting and how to do it?

CARBON ACCOUNTING❓- This is what you need to know - There are two main approaches when performing Life Cycle Assessments: Spend-based and Activity-based approaches. Choosing one or the other can significantly impact the understanding of your emissions.

ReFlow has developed a platform that makes it easy to perform LCA assessments based on the Activity-based approach, which provides the clearest picture and uses more data through its granular approach.

The video below introduces Climate Chats, a concept that aims to discuss and explain relevant sustainability topics. Once a month or more, our in-house engineers will discuss these topics.

This time we are sitting down with our teammate Xueqian Zhang, who has a Ph.D. in Eco-industrial System Analysis and is an LCA Specialist at ReFlow - the environmental performance experts

Have a topic in mind? Feel free to suggest topics to us, as we aim to answer questions that are relevant to you!

What are scope 2 emissions, and how do they affect global warming and pollution?

What Are Scope 2 Emissions?

We have set to go for net zero GHG emissions by 2035. With 792,000 tons of CO2 equivalent as the baseline from 2019, we intend to reduce our emissions by 20% by 2025 and by 50% by 2030. This first milestone will be reached largely through the reduction of our scope 2 emissions. How will we tackle this? Watch the video to learn more

Scope 2 Emissions explained

Making progress to net zero emissions requires leveraging as much data, expertise, and solutions as are available. That is why we asked our internal experts for guidance on effective strategies for addressing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Watch Sak Nayagam, Tyler Espinoza, and Katherine Canoy, Directors in the 3Degrees Energy and Climate Practice detail how your organization can build a framework and start delivering results on its journey to Net Zero.

What are scope 3 emissions, and how do they affect global warming and pollution?

What Are Scope 3 Emissions?

🚚 Last, but not least, we have Scope 3!

Accounting for your company’s GHG emissions doesn’t just stop at your energy consumption and direct emission. Scope 3 is the focus area of GHG impact that follows a company’s value chain, allowing for decisions to be made all throughout every component of what makes your business what it is.

In the video below, we give you the whole breakdown on what this exactly means and how it could impact your sustainability reporting! 💚

What is Scope 3? | Greenly  #climatechange #scope3

What's included a company's carbon footprint? How to measure corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions? Every business leader should know what to consider as part of their company footprint, this video explains what's included.

Often we tend to think about facilities, energy use, and perhaps the fleet - but these account only for a part of a company’s total carbon footprint. The Sustainability Speaker Susanna Hasenoehrl helps you to better understand this, walking you through the concept of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.  

Scope 1 and 2 emissions arise from a company’s operational activities, such as a production facility, or heating or cooling an office. These can be controlled somewhat easily - for example, by switching to renewable energy, or to an electric fleet.

So what about Scope 3? Pukka, a Unilever brand, reports that 49% of their emissions come from boiling the kettle, to make a 'cuppa'. This is an example of Scope 3 emissions, which are more indirect - yet related to the usage of a company’s products and services. 

For most companies, Scope 3 makes up most of their carbon footprint. Scope 3 emissions can be quite difficult to measure, as it includes things like emissions from waste - when a product is disposed of - the supply chain, outsourced activities, and even business travel.

Nonetheless: when you come across a company’s carbon disclosure, do ask whether Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are included.

What is Scope 1, 2 & 3 in Greenhouse Gas accounting?

This presentation introduces course participants to the fundamentals of calculating organizational greenhouse gas emissions. The segment covers the different strategies available for choosing the start year of a GHG inventory, and describes events that trigger the need for recalculation. The module details how structural changes such as mergers and aquisitions, the outsouring of certain activities, and emergence of new data can alter the emission profile, and discusses procedures for restating figures.
 
Narrated by industry expert Mark van Soestbergen, the course was produced by CarbonSolutions for use at higher education institutions in their academic and continuing education programs.
