ISO 14064-1 : Theory and practical cases

Examine the six greenhouse gas emission categories, distinguishing direct and indirect sources, with practical examples from stationary and mobile sources, industrial processes, energy use, product life cycles, and land use.

Category 2 covers emissions from burning fuels for final energy production, such as electricity, heat, steam, and compressed air, excluding upstream emissions, using location based and market based approaches.

Explore category three transport emissions, including fuel combustion in supplier and logistics vehicles, refrigerant leaks, upstream and downstream freight, and transport modes, with emissions classified by financial or operational control.

Examine category four emissions across the cradle-to-supplier exit door lifecycle of purchased goods, including raw-material extraction, production, transport, upstream energy emissions, and emissions from capital goods and used products.

Explore life-cycle emissions, including use, end-of-life waste management, and downstream leased assets, and define end-of-life scenarios under ISO 14064-1 category 5 and category six.

Explore ISO 14064-1 concepts through hands-on exercises that classify category one, category two, and category three emissions, using a GHG inventory to calculate the carbon footprint.

Apply advanced methods to measure electricity emissions, including location-based emissions with the energy mix and baseline year, and explore RECs, guarantees of origin, and PPAs for renewable procurement.

Examine the national residual mix, where energy origin is untraceable, and learn how guarantees of origin and traceability drive transparent disclosure of carbon footprints and environmental impacts.

Identify, measure, and monitor all greenhouse gas sources and absorbers within reporting boundaries to quantify emissions and removals, using transparent, consistent methods for scope 1, 2, and 3.

Define the base year and reference period for GHG inventories, align with ISO 1064 one, apply the location-based approach, guarantees of origin, energy mix, and residual mix to track emissions.

Examine sensitivity analysis to see how variables affect carbon footprint calculations and illustrate mitigation initiatives. Learn to document direct and indirect GHG reductions with clear boundaries and indicators.

Explore mitigation initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including energy demand management, efficiency improvements, transport planning, renewable energy adoption, and waste reduction that promote circularity and transparent reporting.

Explore science-based targets (SBT) to guide company decarbonization toward 1.5°C, with measurable targets and transparent monitoring aligned to the Paris Agreement and 2050 decarbonization goals.

Assess greenhouse gas information quality under ISO 14064-1:2018 by enforcing data procedures, auditing records, and ensuring accuracy, completeness, verifiability, and transparency.

Assess random and systemic uncertainty in carbon emissions calculations, using qualitative and quantitative estimation, Monte Carlo simulations, and life cycle data to improve transparency and decision making.

Prepare a clear GHG report aligned with ISO 14064-1:2018, covering direct and indirect emissions, boundaries, and verification. Ensure completeness, accuracy, and transparent reporting with third-party audits.

Highlight your organization's GHG report, detailing policies, strategies, and programs to reduce emissions, quantify reductions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and report emission credits, and separate direct and indirect emissions.

Quantify Robin Wood S.p.A.'s greenhouse gas inventory for 2020 across locations A and B. Classify direct and indirect emissions within defined reporting boundaries per ISO 14064.
