We calculate your carbon footprint and help you reduce emissions and comply with legislation
All organisations, services and products require the use of energy and other resources in their life cycle. Today, energy comes mostly from fossil fuels. These fuels and other elements, such as the use of refrigerant gases, produce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere that are the cause of Climate Change.
Knowing and evaluating the incidence of our activities in relation to climate change is vital when trying to reduce GHG emissions. In the process of managing these CO2 emissions, calculating the carbon footprint produced by an organisation, event or product directly or indirectly will be essential to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and identify the possibilities of reduction in both emissions and costs.
Benefits of calculating the carbon footprint
1
It allows to quantify the GHG emissions of an activity and, consequently, take the necessary measures in order to reduce them, optimizing resources and reducing the environmental impact of the activity.
2
It allows you to easily obtain an official environmental quality certificate, such as the Carbon Footprint Registration granted by the Spanish Climate Change Office, which recognises those organisations that are committed to reducing Greenhouse Gases.
3
The comprehensive analysis of the production system and the organisation’s facilities that is carried out in the calculation of the carbon footprint allows us to find inefficient points and reduce both emissions and energy and resource consumption.
4
The calculations are certifiable, which allow products to be labelled as «Calculated Carbon Footprint», without the need to have a production system that follows the ecological production standard.
5
Being expressed in kg CO2-eq, it allows the comparison of the carbon footprints of different activities.
6
It reduces energy costs, which subsequently implies economic savings and the improvement of corporate image, productivity and competitiveness. At the same time, it demonstrates a greater awareness of respect for the environment.
How can we help you
with the carbon footprint?
Nordiik can help you create a Carbon Footprint Plan based on the analysis, calculation, reduction and compensation of greenhouse gas emissions in your organisation, product or service.
- An initial evaluation of the carbon footprint calculation with the definition of scope and limits.
- The analysis and identification of Greenhouse Gas emissions within the limits of the organisation, the product or the service. This data must be as reliable as possible in order to ensure a realistic inventory.
- The analysis of waste if it exists.
- The evaluation of environmental impact with the professional Life Cycle Analysis software Air.e LCA.
- The drafting of a results report according to reference standards ISO 14064 and ISO 1406.
- The drafting and development of the Emissions Reduction Plan for organisations and monitoring of the plan.
- The realisation of Greenhouse Gas Inventories for organisations.
- Review and accompaniment during the inventory registration process.
- Preparation of carbon footprint verification reports.
- GHG emissions are measured by mass and converted to CO2 equivalent using the coefficients proposed by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
