Realization of #SDG’S, net zero emissions our Enviroment is more important. Removing more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits is increasing the energy efficiency of our operations.

Hi everyone. I've done the CEP training below and found it very useful for learning more about carbon reduction. Jeff Smit is a great trainer with lots of real world examples. #carbonandenergyprofessionals #carbontraining

Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is essential for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact ↓ What are Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions? 🚛 Scope 1 involves direct emissions from owned or controlled sources 🔋 Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy 🛍️ Scope 3 encompasses all other indirect emissions in a company's value chain Carbon removal technologies play a vital role in addressing emissions across all scopes, offering a means to offset challenging-to-eliminate emissions. High-quality, long-lasting carbon removal solutions, like enhanced rock weathering, can be crucial for achieving net-zero targets sustainably. By rapidly decarbonising and then employing durable carbon removal methods, especially in Scope 3 emissions, companies demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and climate action 🌎 For a deeper understanding of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and how UNDO contributes to helping businesses achieve their net-zero goals - check out our latest blog post: https://bit.ly/3VIEZxb #CarbonRemoval #Emissions #NetZero #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow #CarbonOffset #CarbonOffsetting #CarbonCapture #GreenBusiness #BCorp #SustainableBusiness #ScopeEmissions #EnhancedWeathering #EnhancedRockWeathering

I agree with AIM that standards will need to evolve to help accelerate value chain decarbonization. The world doesn’t need greenwashing…..what we need is real emission reduction. Market based systems enabling companies to get the payback on decarbonization efforts will be key to this. The quicker decarbonization investments can be paid back the more investments we will be able to make and the faster decarbonization will happen. It’s a virtuous cycle.

European Suppliers of Waste-to-Energy Technology (ESWET) praised the recent provisional agreement between the European Council and the European Parliament on the Carbon Removals Certification Framework, highlighting its recognition of biogenic permanent carbon removal. This framework, aligned with IPCC standards, aims to capture 50 million tons of CO2 annually by 2030, crucial for meeting Europe's climate goals. ESWET emphasized the significance of technologies like bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), particularly in sectors like waste-to-energy. The framework provides clarity for investors and emitters, fostering an international market for carbon removals. ESWET emphasized the importance of aligning the framework with existing policies like the Net Zero Industry Act and integrating it with the Emissions Trading System (ETS) for effective industry decarbonization and the journey towards net-zero emissions. https://buff.ly/42QXLUQ.

In some sectors as high as 95% of GHG inventories are scope 3 related emissions, making our value chain investments one of the corner stones of efforts to decarbonise sectors and reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Read below is the first of a series of blogs by the AIM platform (created by ourselves at Gold Standard, Neotetic and C2ES) deep diving into the problems around value chain investments and how to solve them. This first blog is written by our Chief Technical Officer Owen Hewlett, give it a read and comment your thoughts, questions and opinions!

Interesting article about Avoided Emissions or also called Scope 4 and how to differentiate them from Emissions Reductions. Scope 4 is still at a very early stage. The article explains the methodology of how these avoided emissions should be calculated and communicated externally. #ghgemissions

Value Chain Abatement (VCA), the act of abating sources of emissions within a company’s value chain (scope 2 or 3 emissions inventories), is a cornerstone of corporate voluntary climate action. With value chains often accounting for over 90% of company emissions, the opportunity for mitigation is vast. But value chains are extensive, complex, dynamic and almost never fully visible or accessible to the companies responsible for them. If time were on our side then traceability and data quality improvements would resolve some, maybe most, of these issues, allowing direct abatement with the specific suppliers of specific companies. Time is not on our side, however. Companies need flexible tools that enable them to take responsibility for emissions they can’t address.

The UK has set out in law the target of achieving Net Zero by 2050. To achieve this, the annual emission rates will need to be cut by over 260 MtCO2e (Metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent). Carbon offsetting is the final step of the Net Zero journey. But what does that actually entail? Carbon offsetting is a process that involves a reduction in, or removal of, carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. This can range from planting trees and preserving wildlife to installing insulation and renewable energy. In 2021, the UK’s Environment Agency produced a report reviewing the evidence behind 17 different carbon offsetting approaches which included mainly nature based solutions and a smaller number of built environment approaches.
