Scope 1 Emissions: How to inventory, quantify, and report
Identifying sources of emissions are the first step in quantifying emissions. Typical Scope 1 emissions include combustion, flaring, venting, and fugitives. Knowing your sources and understanding how the system functions are crucial for accurate quantification.
The course will conclude with a real facility example, giving students the chance to put their new skills to use by identifying typical emissions sources, quantifying them, and reporting them.
Learning Outcomes:
After the course, the learner will have the basic tools needed to develop emissions profiles for their facilities and to quantify their site emissions. Students will be equipped with a strong foundation for what data is needed for reporting and how to develop a greenhouse gas emissions inventory. Students will be led through the following steps:
- Determination of consumption of fuel sources
- Determination of fugitive emissions sources
- Determination of other emissions sources
- Methods for quantifying the emissions sources
- Methods for reporting the emissions
- As a result of this course, learners will be equipped with the following skills:
- Ability to identify which equipment/ processes lead to emissions
- Ability perform a basic calculation of Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions
- Ability to interpret public and company GHG emissions reports
- Ability to support verification activities to confirm emissions quantification
- Handouts will be delivered at the end of the class giving an overview of specific reporting requirements in select reporting jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.
