A block of seats is being held aside for students at $ 100/ seat for this "Measuring and Reporting your Carbon Footprint Workshop" at Pinchin Environmental in Mississauga. Sorry about the expense, but it does include a "binder" with all reference materials, lunch, breaks and parking.
We will follow the ISO 14064 GHG standard and GHG Protocol Intiative. It is interesting that a "Growing numbers of businesses are expected to adopt a "shadow price" for carbon when making infrastructure decisions. The budgets will include a "shadow spot price" for carbon, which will be used to determine emissions costs for future design, construction and maintenance of its electricity and gas networks, management of its fleet and facilities, and any potential new investments."

Measuring & Reporting your Carbon (GHG) Footprint Workshop
Date: May 12, 2010
Location: Mississauga, Ontario
Student Rate: $ 100
Regular Registration Rate: $ 650
In a carbon constrained world, is your organization ready for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) measurement and reporting?
GHG reporting is already a requirement for large emitters (power plants) in Canada and in the U.S. Increasingly Canadian companies are conducting internal GHG inventories to understand their "carbon risk" and to report to shareholders or customers like Wal-Mart.
Do you know how many tonnes of Greenhouse Gases your company generates through direct and indirect emissions? Are your customers or shareholders among the increasing majority requiring the reporting of your GHG emissions? Are they asking to see the reduction plan?
In this "hands-on" workshop you will work on the development of your GHG inventory and management plan. You will learn about greenhouse gases and their effect on the environment and international and national efforts to reduce GHG emissions. By the end of this workshop you will be able to develop your company's GHG management plan and understand how to quantify, report and verify your total GHG emissions.
"Kick Start" your GHG Inventory in this Workshop
Using current case studies, best practice examples and hands-on activities you will:
· Understand the effects of GHG's on the planet and international efforts to reduce GHG's.
· Make the business case for GHG measurement, management and reporting.
· Appraise the principles of ISO 14064 and this standard's use in GHG measurement, management, reporting and verification.
· Apply direct GHG emission accounting to your operations and do GHG calculations for your direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) emissions.
· Comprehend indirect GHG emission accounting and identify the other indirect (scope 3) GHG emissions in your operation.
· Discuss GHG quantification methodologies and their implications to your reporting and verification system.
· List options for GHG reduction including mitigation and offset strategies. Identify steps to ISO 14064 GHG verification processes.
· Create a plan of action for GHG Management for your enterprise.
