Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly CO2 are contributing to unprecedented climate change. As the Kyoto Protocol gains greater global acceptance, and with discussions on its successor underway, more countries and regional blocs are legislating to curb and reduce emissions.
Hundreds of organizations across the world have voluntarily implemented procedures for measuring, calculating and declaring direct and indirect emissions. Effective GHG management, commonly referred to as carbon management, is helping them reduce energy consumption, and therefore costs, as well as reducing their carbon emissions.
