    Summary

    GreenCollar Climate Solutions's view on the role of carbon offsets in addressing climate change

    "Offsets are likely to become increasingly important as a means for meeting greenhouse gas emissions as reduction targets inevitably increase and alternative reduction and abatementA reduction in the amount or intensity of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of actions taken by a company or individual. options become over subscribed.
    Our organisation works to assist organisations in both the public and private sector to first understand both their exposure to climate change risk as well as the opportunities presented to those able to adapt early on. From this starting point we assist clients in the development of robust carbon management strategies and associated project development and procurement activities."

    Do you provide a carbon footprint calculation service for your customers?
    [Q12]- Yes, personalised assessment
    Carbon calculation - methodology, standards or guidelines
    [Q13]- NGA FactorsThe National Greenhouse Accounts (NGA) Factors is an Australian guide to emission factors from a range of sectors that is used by companies to calculate greenhouse gases. It is prepared by the Department of Climate Change and replaces the AGO Factors & Methods Workbook. For more information, see here.
    - GHG ProtocolSee WRI / WBCSD GHG Protocol
    - ISO 14064A global GHG accounting, reporting and verification standard. The goal of the standard is to 'provide a set of unambiguous and verifiable requirements or specifications to support organisations and proponents of GHG emissions reductions projects.'
    To calculate customer emissions do you apply National Greenhouse Accounts Factors full fuel cycle emissions conversion factors?
    [Q14]- Yes
    In your calculation of customer emissions which of the 6 Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases do you include?
    [Q15]- Carbon dioxideA greenhouse gas that is produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, burning fossil fuels and biomass, as well as from all animals, plants, and a number of other natural sources. Carbon dioxide is the principal anthropogenic greenhouse gas that affects the earth’s temperature.
    - MethaneMethane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with a GWP of 21.
    - Nitrous oxideAgriculture accounts for the majority of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in Australia, The transport sector also contributes to emissions of N2O. N2O has a high global warming potential of about 310 times that of CO2.it breaks down very slowly – over about 120 years
    - HydrofluorocarbonsMajor releases of HFCs are from leakage from refrigeration equipment during operation and its end-of-life destruction. Minor releases arise from the use of HFC-containing aerosols, air conditioners and metered dose inhalers.HFCs have very high global warming potentials (140 to 11,700 times that of carbon dioxide).
    - PerfluorocarbonsMost emissions of PFCs in Australia are generated during aluminium production. PFCs have extremely high global warming potentials (5000 to 10,000 times that of carbon dioxide). However, because they are only released in relatively small amounts, their contribution to global warming is minor. Due to their stability they have very long atmospheric lifetimes (thousands of years).
