5. CO2 and GHG EMISSIONS
• There is natural process of CO2 and GHG Emission generated by the Planet its self.
• Fortunately there is a natural cycle of Emission – Absorption and the Planet is self adjusting over the
millennia.
• Unfortunately all human industrial activities which are sustaining the whole civilization are emitting CO2
and CHG ( Anthropogenic).
• Unfortunately the whole humanity from 3B to 6B is emitting CO2 and GHG from its very core existence.
• The humanity desire for progress and discovery is “ written” in our human ADN and the fundamental
right of a human being is the right to live.
• So the Humanity have once again a PARAMOUNT mission : to deal with success with CO2 and GHG
emission in order to preserve at the best, his habitat and the Planet as a whole.

The CanadianGHG Challenge Registry is a voluntary,
publicly accessible national registry of GHG baselines,
targets, and reductions. Administered by the Canadian
Standards Association, its aim is for participants from all economic sectors
and geographic regions to demonstrate meaningful contributions to
reducing Canada’s GHG emissions. Participants developGHG inventories, set
GHG targets, and prepareGHG action plans.

• EU GHG Emissions from Electricity Generation vs. Oil Sands GHG Emissions

10. CO2 and GHG EMISSIONS
Oil Sands emissions are within the same range as many others crude oils.
Recent independent studies have shown that
oil sands emissions are similar to a number of
crudes both heavy and light, imported and refined
in EU, in particular when emissions created by flaring
and venting practices are considered.

11. CO2 and GHG EMISSIONS
70 to 80 percent of life cycle
emissions come from vehicle’s
tailpipe.
GHG emissions from oil production should be
considered in their full contest, taking into
account the emissions produced when the oil is
consumed. For example final combustion
emissions of gasoline emerging from tailpipes
account for 70-80% of life cycle emissions.These
vehicle emissions are the same regardless of the
crude oil from which the gasoline is derived.

14. YOU CAN’T MANAGE IFYOU DON’T MEASURE
What is the Carbon Footprint
• A carbon Footprint measures the total GHG emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person,
organization, event or product.
• A Carbon Footprint is measured in tones of CO2 equivalent ( tCO2e ).
• The Carbon Dioxide equivalent allows the different GHGs to be compared on a like-for-like basis
relative to one unit of CO2. tCO2e is calculated by multiplying the emissions of each of the 6 GHG by its
100 year Global Warming Potential ( GWP).
• A Carbon Footprint considers all of six of the Kyoto Protocol GHG’s.
• The Carbon Footprint can be calculated for the upcoming projects and / or activities along with their
Basis of Design.

16. YOU CAN’T MANAGE IFYOU DON’T MEASURE
1. Decide on the Method to be followed
It is important to use a consistent method to ensure an accurate result.
Methods:
-The GHG Protocol
- ISO 14064
2. Define Organizational and Operational Boundaries
- Set clear, explicit boundaries on what is included in the footprint.
- The operational boundary determines which emission source will be quantified.
- Material scope 1 and 2 emissions should be included. Scope 3 emissions is at individual discretion.
- Make sure you consider the practicalities of collecting complete and accurate data.
Emission sources :
Scope 1 : Direct Emissions that result from activities within an organization’s control.This might include
on-site fuel combustion, manufacturing, process emissions, refrigerant losses and company
vehicles.
Scope 2 : Indirect emissions from purchased and use electricity, heat or steam.
Scope 3 : Any other indirect emissions from sources outside the entities direct control

The organization shall establish and document its operational boundaries.The establishment of operational
boundaries includes identifying GHG emissions and removals associated with the organization's operations,
categorizingGHG emissions and removals into direct emissions, energy indirect emissions and other indirect
emissions. It includes choosing which of the other indirect emissions will be quantified and reported.
The organization shall explain any changes to its operational boundaries.
The organization may comprise one or more facilities. Facility-level GHG emissions or removals may be
produced from one or moreGHG sources or sinks.
The organization shall consolidate its facility-levelGHG emissions and removals by one of the following
approaches:
a) control: the organization accounts for all quantified GHG emissions and/or removals from facilities over
which it has financial or operational control; or
b) equity share: the organization accounts for its portion of GHG emissions and/or removals from respective
facilities.
18. YOU CAN’T MANAGE IFYOU DON’T MEASURE
3. Collate the Data
- The accuracy of the Footprint relies on collating consumption data for all of the 6 Kyoto GHG emission sources
within the Company established Boundary.
- For Gas and Electricity collect the data in KWh from meter readings or bills.
- For transport emissions collect fuel consumption, by fuel type in a variety of units as liters, KWh, MJ but better
to convert everything to KWh.
- It is important to clarify any gaps in the data and list any assumption that have been made in calculating the
footprint.
- Within its organizational boundaries, the organization shall quantify and documentGHG emissions and
removals by completing, as applicable, the following steps:
identification of GHG sources and sinks
selection of quantification methodology
selection and collection of GHG activity data
selection or development of GHG emission or removal factors
calculation of GHG emissions and removals

4. Apply Emission Factors
The Carbon Foot print is measured in tCO2e and is calculated:
MJ or L or Kg or KWh x CO2e emission factor
Scope 1 emissions are direct GHG emissions occurring from sources that are owned or controlled
by the company and within the organizational boundary (eg, emissions from combustion of fuel in
owned or controlled vehicles).

Scope 2 Emissions are indirect GHG emissions,
occurring from the generation of purchased
electricity consumed by the company.
Purchased Electricity
Scope 3 Emissions are other indirect GHG emissions
occurring as a consequence of the activity of the
company but generated from sources not owned or
controlled by the company ( air travel ).

23. HOW ? …… CASE STUDY
In order to calculate the Carbon and GHG Footprint, the principles
highlighted above will be applied to a hypothetical Oil and Gas Exploration and
Production Company, owning different shares percentages for 3 Assets.
For simplicity, Scope 3 (Indirect Emissions) is not considerate in this
example.
Please note that the same principles are valid for calculating the Carbon
and GHG Footprint for any activity, business, product, service, project starting
from a house holder to national per capita CO2 and GHG footprint.

31. WHAT ISTHE BENEFIT
Calculating the Carbon and GHG Footprint allows you…… at least to:
- Depict the emissions in your Company so you can track and reduce them.
- Rank your emissions vs. other competitors emissions or allows you to
realize where are your business into industry or in the Country.
- Offers an engineered background for finding out to cut off emissions.
- Offers a data recurrence in order to build a real statistic.
- Offers a technical background for discussion with the related Regulatory
Bodies.
- Build an effective Carbon Management system.
- Build the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) accreditations and
adherence to ISO standards and Regulatory Bodies in regard with the
GHG emissions.
