Carbon Footprint Sample Clauses

Carbon Footprint. ‌ Anthropogenic climate change has created a need to measure and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon footprint is a concept that describes the greenhouse gas emissions and removals over the life cycle of a product expressed as CO2 equivalents (BSI PAS2050:2011). Benefits of carbon footprint as an indicator are that it is easily understandable, globally interesting, broadly applicable and easy to implement for different strategies (Xxxxxxx et al. 2016). Carbon footprint of products (ISO/TS 14067:2013) standard provides principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification and communication of the carbon footprint of products, including both goods and services. Partial product footprints are also addressed. Calculations on organisational level can also be made. The calculation is based on life cycle assessment using the single impact category of climate change. The quantification and reporting of a carbon footprint of a product (CFP) in accordance with this technical specification is based on the principles of the LCA (ISO 14040:2006; ISO 14044:2006). Life cycle assessment using climate change as the single impact category creates a method for carbon footprint assessment, facilitates performance tracking in GHG emissions reduction and supports reporting and communication of carbon footprint information. Double-counting of emissions and removal is avoided within both the studied product system and other product systems (in the context of allocation). Public communication of carbon footprints can support providing of information to consumers and other interested parties as well as show company commitment to address climate change challenges. The carbon footprint communication options are external communication report, performance tracking report, CFP label and CFP declaration (ISO/TS 14067 2013). Carbon footprint study calculates the contribution of the studied product to global warming potential. The most important greenhouse gases are fossil carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and dinitrogenmonoxide (N2O). The impacts from different greenhouse gases are converted into carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2 eq.) by multiplying the inventory results of each greenhouse gas with factors given by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The factors describe the global warming potential of emissions within the next 100 years, which is the most common time frame used. The CO2 equivalents are then summed together and reported as carbon footprint. Th...

Carbon Footprint. The college takes its climate change commitments seriously. Since 2015 we have reduced our emissions by 28% against a target of 20%. The college appreciates that we need to intensify efforts in light of the recently declared Climate Change Emergency and as such has identified this as a key priority going forward. All areas of the college have been asked and challenged to identify areas for improvements for reduction of carbon footprint. A cross college Climate Emergency working group has been formed from all areas of academic and support staff as well as student representatives. This group xxxx xxxxxxxx and progress ideas to lead and influence the wider college population to participate in as many carbon footprint saving projects as possible. In addition to this the college will: • Create a new Climate Change Action Plan with set targets to meet in terms of carbon reduction. The aim will be for a minimum of 5% reduction year on year. • Increase sustainability within the educational delivery. • Continue to look at new and innovative ways of delivering education and increasing our reach without increasing our carbon footprint.

Carbon Footprint. The Supplier will support Institutions with their carbon footprint calculations arising from waste management contracts. Typically, Suppliers will provide quarterly fuel consumption and mileage figures per Institution and will be expected to demonstrate the use of vehicle route planning equipment. The Supplier will provide quarterly CO2 tonnage data associated with waste disposal methods per Institution. The conversion factors to be used to formulate this data are to be agreed with the institutions prior to their submission.
