NRG 173: Carbon Footprints for Climate Action in Complex OrganizationsSpring Term 2011Class 19 of 19June 2, 2011 Kelly Hoell Good Company Eugene, OR
final overview • continue reviewing for final exam
objectives • Review course material for integration into the real world! (and to get ready for the final…)
Review for final exam: class 2 What do you measure? • Kyoto gases and Global Warming Potential (GWP) • carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e)
Review for final exam: class 2 global GHG emissions by gas type Source: Vattenfall
Review for final exam: class 3 GHG accounting 101: Scopes 1, 2 and 3 Source: World Resources Institute
Review for final exam: class 3 activity: boundaries and data
Review for final exam: class 3 GHG accounting using life-cycle thinking? Source: World Resources Institute
Review for final exam: class 2 GHG accounting and action: business case There may also be alignment with mission.
Review for final exam: class 2 conducting a GHG Inventory – an overview identify relevant protocols and tools set inventory boundaries collect data revisit inventory boundaries finish data collection calculate emissions write report share results with stakeholders develop climate action plan (Plan as much as reasonable. Be ready for loops.)
Review for final exam: class 7 understanding calculations: math is fun! business activity (driving owned fleet) GHG emissions (CO2e) other math emissions factor (CO2 / gallon gas) unit (gallons of gas)
Review for final exam: class 7 calculate emissions - it’s as easy as 1,2,3! activity data (kWh, therms, gallons, etc.) emissions factors for each activity unit conversion factors
Review for final exam: class 8 tricky emissions factors: electricity electricity consumption GHG emissions (CO2e) other math emissions factor (CO2e / kWh) unit (kWh) What emissions factor do you use? Electricity Emissions Factors Matter!
Review for final exam: class 8 electricity sensitivity analysis
Review for final exam: class 8 emissions scenarios, example 2
Review for final exam: class 2 two views of US emissions Source: EPA’s Opportunities to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Materials and Land Management Practices
applied thinking two views of US emissions • implication: transform our economy *
Review for final exam: class 4 climate impacts from Medium Standard Home
Review for final exam: class 4 “before”: materials “during”: energy consumption “after”
Review for final exam: class 5 climate impacts
Why are energy and climate impacts different for some materials and the same for others?
Review for final exam: class 6 meat vs. miles
energy vs. GHG emissions from food What does this sentence mean? • “…Many of the analyses have used life-cycle energy use as the relevant measure of sustainability and thus have not included the substantial non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions associated with agriculture.” (page 1)
