Carbon Footprint/ Carbon Neutral

A carbon footprint is the measure of the Green House Gas emissions of an organization, process, person or event in a given time period. It is calculated in units of tons carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). GE3S helps it’s clients to establish a process, build organisational capacity to measure, analyze and monitor their GHG emissions that help organizations to realize their Carbon Footprint and build climate change mitigation strategy. We have successfully completed carbon footprint projects for several clients in UAE. An organization’s carbon footprint can be measured by undertaking a GHG emissions assessment.

The carbon footprint estimation involves setting the physical boundary and the time period for which it has to be calculated. It is followed by identifying significant GHG emission sources. Some of the common GHG emission sources are electricity consumption, fuel consumption, refrigerant leakage, anaerobic decay of waste in landfills, travel in fossil fuel run vehicles etc. Once these sources are identified, required data is collected and then GHG emissions are calculated using emission factors. GE3S specializes in carbon footprint calculation.

The GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting & Reporting Standard provides guidance for companies preparing a corporate-level GHG emissions inventory also known as carbon footprint. GE3S has experienced Consultants who help the clients in calculating Carbon Footprint for their company. We have developed carbon footprint for several companies using The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.

Carbon neutral is a term that arose from the idea of ​​achieving equality between the following two exchanges: What is added to the atmosphere from carbon are products of energy use and natural biological processes such as breathing of living organisms and others, and what is consumed of carbon as photosynthesis processes in the plant.

Organizations and companies use the term carbon neutral or carbon neutral, when they take measures to remove the largest amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere whenever they put carbon dioxide in it. The goal is to keep the carbon from increasing in the atmosphere to achieve a zero carbon footprint.
