Course Overview

Course length: 5 days 

Course description 

Waste and emission reductions can be achieved through pollution prevention (P2) practices. This can be accomplished by adopting best management practices and cleaner production technologies such as reducing material inputs, re-engineering processes to reuse by- products, improving management practices, and substituting toxic chemicals with those less toxic. Some smaller facilities are able to actually get below regulatory thresholds by reducing pollutant releases through aggressive pollution prevention policies. 

This course is intended to give a detailed understanding of Greenhouse Gas projects to project developers and practitioners. Several case studies from across different industry sectors are used as a means of applying the requirements of ISO 14064 in a comprehensive way. Upon completion of this course, participants will be better prepared to plan and manage GHG project. The course is also designed to help organizations set emission reduction targets, account for their progress, meet domestic or international emissions reporting objectives, and ensure that efforts to reduce emissions are achieving their intended results.
