HE2071 : ISO 14064-1:2018 for GHG Emission Quantification

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of ISO 14064-1:2018 for GHG Emission Quantification. It covers the climate change context and GHG fundamentals, international agreements and protocols, structure of ISO 14064-1:2018 and key GHG principles in ISO 14064-1; the GHGs covered by ISO 14064-1 including GHG accounting and reporting concepts, organizational boundaries and operational boundaries; the GHG sources and sinks and GHG inventory design and developments, quantification methodologies and base year setting and recalculation; the data collection strategy, emission factors and conversion factors and calculation tools and techniques; and the data quality management, managing uncertainty, documentation and record keeping.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the required content of records, reporting formats, public disclosure versus internal reporting and legal and stakeholder requirements; the third-party verification, internal review and improvement and GHG performance indicators; the GHG reduction projects and offsets, types of reduction initiatives, criteria for offset eligibility, additionality and permanence and integration into inventory; communicating GHG information, sector-specific GHG practices, managing scope 3 emissions and integrating with management systems; and the emerging trends in GHG accounting covering science-based targets, Net zero commitments, digital tools and AI in GHG management and blockchain for GHG tracking.
