GHG inventory/carbon footprint
Understanding the sources - and sinks - of your greenhouse gas emissions, and the significance of those, is critical to managing your impact. At a facility, organizational or product level, a comprehensive GHG inventory - often also called a 'carbon footprint' - is often a first step in GHG management, but may also be a frequent effort, as part of internal or external monitoring and reporting processes.
Firefly has experience working with municipal, community, institutional and industrial clients reporting under:
-
WBCSD/WRI GHG Protocol
-
ICLEI/PCP framework
-
CSA Challenge Registry
-
Alberta SGER (now TIER),
-
and other reporting standards.
GHG reduction and offset projects
Properly quantifying the benefit of your efforts to reduce your GHG impacts requires knowledge, discipline and data. Firefly has experience quantifying and reporting a wide variety of GHG reduction projects to the ISO 14064-2 standard, mostly for the purpose of creating verifiable offset credits for Alberta Emissions Offset Registry, BC and voluntary standards such as the CSA Clean Projects Registry.
This includes:
-
Wind power, solar, biomass, anaerobic digestion (biogas)
-
Acid gas injection, enhanced oil recovery, high-low bleed pneumatic controller swapouts, engine fuel gas management, reduced pipeline blowdowns and waste-heat-to-power projects.
-
Energy efficiency, micro-CHP, fuel-switching
-
Ozone-depleting-substances (ODS) destruction, and
-
Landfill avoidance.
