Carbon Emission Audit
Measuring and Reducing Your Carbon Footprint A carbon emission audit is a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It involves measuring the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emitted by various activities and identifying opportunities to reduce emissions. Using established methodologies (like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol) to calculate the organization’s total GHG emissions. Creating a detailed inventory of emissions sources, including direct emissions (e.g., from burning fuels on-site) and indirect emissions (e.g., from purchased electricity and heat). Establishing a baseline for emissions to track progress and measure reductions. Many jurisdictions have regulations or reporting requirements related to GHG emissions. A carbon emission audit can help organizations comply with these regulations.
