  1. LLamasoft GHG Modeling Solution Project Briefing: Date Updated: Dec. 27, 2007

  2. Project Briefing: Topics • Problem Background and Environment • Supply Chain + Green: definitions and examples • Current Market + Players • Data sources and calculators • Supply Chain Guru GHG Modeling Solution • Marketing Opportunities and Next Steps • References and Links • Supplementary Data

  3. Discussion of Background and Definitions

  4. Background • Global consensus has been reached that greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities are having a negative effect on the climate • Without reducing emissions, the cost of impacts associated with a unit of emission, will increase dramatically1 • Interest in social responsibility is transforming to a customer and regulatory requirement

  5. Background: Crisis and Opportunities • Consumer awareness, can make conscious choice to purchase products with smaller carbon footprint • Enable companies to compete on green credentials • Some Products already labeled with their carbon footprint (UK) • Walkers crisps • Tesco • Timberland • Many Companies considering labeling (pilot projects): • PepsiCo • Cadbury • Wal-Mart

  6. Background : Bottom Line • Customers and governments have introduced a new point of differentiation for market players • There is still a great deal of confusion, uncertainty, and irrationality in this new important issue • This creates an opportunity for advice, tools, technology, and leadership

  7. Supply Chain + Green, Carbon Footprint Definition • What does carbon footprinting mean?2 • Common: “Total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted over the full life cycle of a product or service” • 1. Direct emissions that result from the activities the organization controls • 2. Emissions from the use of electricity • 3. Indirect emissions from products and services • Transport and production of raw materials (upstream) • Disposal of products (downstream) • Decisions to be made: • Include only CO2 vs. all greenhouse gases • If all, also include non-carbon based ones? • Units: grams of CO2 equivalents vs. area-based unit • Which indirect emissions to include and which to exclude? • Employee commute to plants, offices • Customer usage of product, e.g. refrigerate or cook product

  8. Supply Chain + Green, Why Calculate the Footprint? • To manage the footprint and reduce emissions over time • To report the footprint to a third party • Marketing • Consumers • Government • In general, an organization should KNOW and QUANTIFY what environmental impact it is having in order to make ANY sound decision (even if that decision is “do nothing”)

  9. Calculating a Carbon Footprint • Define the methodology • Specify the boundary • Collect emissions data and calculate the footprint • Verify results • Disclose the footprint

  10. Calculating a Carbon Footprint: 1. Define the Methodology • GHG Protocol: www.ghgprotocol.org • ISO 14064: www.iso.org • Custom (most prevalent)

  11. Calculating a Carbon Footprint: 2. Specify the boundary • CO2 only or all GHG? • Direct emissions from fuel use onsite and from transport? • Direct emissions from mfg process onsite? • Emissions from the electricity purchased? • Indirect Emissions from the supply chain? • Outsourced activities • Manufacture raw materials • Transport of raw materials? • Other?

  12. Calculating a Carbon Footprint: 3. Collect data • Onsite fuel consumption • Transport utilization • Chemical reactions in mfg processes • Electricity consumption and source of power (Oil? Gas? Coal? Nuclear? Geothermal?) • Employee travel by air, rail, vehicles not owned by the organization • Suppliers’ emissions

  13. Calculating a Carbon Footprint: 4, 5: Verify and Disclose Footprint • Third party verification and audits can improve credibility • Disclosure should include footprint and how it was calculated (boundary, methodology, etc.)

  14. Definition: Carbon Offsets • When companies or individuals cannot decrease their own carbon footprint, they can undertake action to mitigate these emissions through: • Tree-planting • Renewable energy • Energy conservation • Methane capture • Purchase of emission trading credits. Companies need to adhere to the rules of the Clean Development Mechanism11 arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol

  15. Notable Organizations: NGOs • Carbon Trust, UK • Private company set up by Government. Provides free advice, survey and online calculators; commercial consulting services. • The Climate Trust • A non-profit organization, which invests funding from power plants, businesses, organizations and individuals into projects that offset GHG emissions. Also provides free carbon footprint calculator. • GHG Protocols • Multi-stakeholder partnership of businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), governments, and others convened by the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). • Mission to develop internationally accepted greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and reporting standards for business and to promote their broad adoption. The GHG Protocol Initiative comprises two separate but linked standards: • GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard: step-by-step guide for companies to use in quantifying and reporting their GHG emissions • GHG Protocol Project Quantification Standard: a guide for quantifying reductions from GHG mitigation projects

  16. Current Players: Companies • Infor SCM12 • Consulting and commercial software (previously CAPS Logistics) • Barloworld Optimus13 • Software and consulting services. One of the products is CAST, which was acquired when Barloworld acquired Radical Limited in 2005. • Supply Chain Consulting14 • Global provider of enterprise software solutions and services, maker of CarbonView for visibility. Claims to have “optimization” but not sellable or demonstratable • Surya Technologies15 • Small software and consulting firm • Provider of modeling, analysis, optimization and simulation software and technologies in semiconductor and electronic design automation industries • Shifting focus to apply similar combination of custom software products and services to solve problems in environmental sustainability, business processes, and public policy. • Maker of SEAT: desktop tool for carbon modeling and optimization • LLamasoft • The new leader…

  17. Summary of Commercial Software Tools • Network Design (Infor SCM): • uses CO2 Social Costs in optimizer • additionally, can minimize emissions • databases used for calculations not defined • CAST-FE (Barloworld): • add-on to CAST to calculate footprint of previously determined/optimized network • GHGs not taken into account while optimizing • Carbon View (Supply Chain Consulting): • minimizes carbon emissions vs. cost • methodology not described • SEAT (Surya Technologies): • simulation, including carbon emission calculations • need to manually determine where options are to cut emissions and generate scenarios for comparison

  18. Market • Every company in the world that sources, manufactures, and/or distributes physical materials has a need • Companies facing regulatory pressure (UK, EU) have greater urgency • Companies with global brands or sales direct to consumer will face increasing pressure
