Explore greenhouse gas calculation and reporting across national, city, corporate, and product levels using ghg protocol tools and iso guidance for energy, industry, agriculture, land use, and waste.
Explore ISO 14,064 international standards for greenhouse gas assessment and reporting, including parts 1–3, correlations with the GHG protocol, and validation and verification.
Explore how international programs stimulate greenhouse gas accounting and reduction through reporting mandates, the EU Green Deal, and the carbon border adjustment mechanism.
Learn two energy accounting methods—location based, using region-weighted emission factors, and market based, applying factors via contracts or renewable energy certificates.
Calculate scope 2 greenhouse gas emission factors from consumed energy using location based and market based methods, applying authoritative regional data and contract or certificate based emission factors.
Compute CO2 emissions from heat and electricity using emission factors, energy content, and plant efficiency, then apply losses and cogeneration data to derive a weighted emission factor.
Welcome to the second module of Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculation Methodology by International Practices Course by HPBS BV company. The program was developed by HPBS experts and is part of an ecosystem of educational trainings in the field of sustainable development, green economy and reducing the ecological footprint.
Before starting this second part of our educational program we expect you to pass through Module 1 (Scope 1: Green Houses Emission Calculation Methodology), which you can find in our Instructor profile.
In this course you will learn about international Greenhouse Gas accounting and reporting standards and Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculation Methodology by Scope 2.
First section describes standards for greenhouse gas emissions calculation and reporting, you will see what international standards exist, at what level greenhouse gas emissions can be measured and reported, what sources of greenhouse gases exist in companies and what factors encourage companies to assess their emissions.
Second section includes next topics:
What is the scope 2 emissions
How to identify them
When to apply location based and market based approach for emission factors
What can be the evidence for application market based emission factors
How to calculate scope 2 emissions
And how to document and report results.
After this module we highly recommend you to continue studding GHG Emission Calculation Methodology for Scope 3 with the course which you can find in our Instructor profile.
