Carbon 101 Reduction Program PDF Print E-mail

To assist companies looking for low-cost options to account for and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), Partners in Project Green has developed the Carbon 101 Reduction Program. This program is designed to help companies complete their greenhouse gas baselines, identify reduction strategies and develop a plan for implementation.

Education of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting and Reduction

In this new and evolving field, getting a handle on the ins and outs of GHG emissions, reporting standards, accounting methods and reduction strategies can be daunting on your own. Partners in Project Green Carbon 101 Workshops and our Carbon 101 Guidebook can help make sense of it all, and start you on your path to GHG reductions.

Selection of an Enterprise Carbon Management (ECM) Tool

Enterprise Management Software allows for GHG monitoring, management, and reporting, helping companies ensure the accuracy and validity of their GHG accounting and can keep you on track with your reduction strategies. In order to assist in selecting the right ECM provider for your organization, Partners in Project Green has developed the ECM Vendor Selection Survey and Database.

Regulatory View

As of January 1, 2010, industrial facilities in Ontario that release 25,000 tonnes or more greenhouse gas annually will be required to report their emissions to the government and public. This reporting requirement is one step toward launching the cap-and-trade system to which the provincial government has committed.

While most small and medium-sized enterprises will not be required to report emissions or be regulated under a capand- trade system, the regulations may well affect small business’ clients and suppliers and will certainly become part of the context in which they operate.
