Introduction to Carbon Footprint Calculation and the Importance Janathakshan Gte Ltd
A presentation by Janathakshan on GHG, its impact, climate change and global warming, carbon footprint and global situation and the importance of measuring it.
This tutorial on Carbon Footprint gives you a brief introduction to Emission of Carbon Dioxide from our daily activities.
This tutorial covers the following topics:
1. About Carbon Footprint?
2. Measuring CO2
3. Calculate CO2 based on fuel
4. Types of Carbon Calculator
5. Carbon Footprint Calculators
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organisation, event or product, and is expressed as a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). A carbon footprint accounts for all six Kyoto GHG emissions:
• carbon dioxide (CO2)
• methane (CH4)
• nitrous oxide (N2O)
• hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
• perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
• sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
There are different types of carbon footprint and this report focus only Organisational carbon footprint. (Figure 1.0) An organization’s carbon footprint is a measurement of their human activity based environmental damage, quantified by the amount of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 the organization emits. More specifically, the result is defined as equivalent “unit carbon dioxide”.
Carbon footprint analysis services include an assessment of an organization’s carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) assessment. All related activities that the company has are examined in detail. Activity based GHGs emission inventory is extracted and results are reported according to ISO 14064 standards.
By calculating carbon footprint, it can manage the energy consumption of an organization (renewable energy source), check conformance with current regulation, to prepare new regulations, take attention of institutional investors, to add a prestige to certain company and also enables them to participate in carbon credit activities.

A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide—released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity. A carbon footprint can be a broad meaasure or be applied to the actions of an individual, a family, an event, an organization, or even an entire nation.
Carbon Footprint is a measure of organization's Greenhouse Gases emmissions. Many organizations nowadays are conscious with their carbon footprint.
This consciousness led to the development of PAS 2050, a standard developed by the British Standards Institute to assess the lifecycle GHG emissions of goods and services.
In this month's SlideShare we'll be covering the topic of carbon credits and carbon offsets and how these instruments are implemented to reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change. While the terms are often used interchangeably, carbon credits and carbon offsets does have certain key differences we'll be exploring. There are also important milestones to note, from the US Clean Air Act and Kyoto Protocol to UN Carbon Offset Platform. Over recent years, the carbon market value have grown significantly from EUR 186 billion in 2018 to EUR 850 billion in 2022.

Carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or
person. Greenhouse gases are gases, both natural and anthropogenic, in the atmosphere that absorb (take
in) and emit (give out) radiation from the Sun (better known as sunlight).
Carbon footprints and carbon sequestration.pptxshivalika6
Climate change being today’s major issue is concerned with the unprecedented increase in natural resource exploitation and uncontrolled population increase, reaching in an irreversible point. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) responsible for such changes are emitted by a variety of natural as well as anthropogenic sources.
Agriculture sector shares a major proportion in total GHG emission. As the food demand is increasing with the rising population, the proportion of GHG emissions from agricultural sector is also increasing.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

3. What is Carbon Footprint?
• A carbon footprint is defined as the
total amount of greenhouse
gases(GHG) including carbon dioxide
and methane produced to directly and
indirectly support human activities,
usually expressed in equivalent tons of
carbon dioxide (CO2).
• The carbon footprint is a very powerful
tool to understand the impact of
personal behaviour on global warming.

4. What is a carbon footprint?
• The sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take
place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take
place.
• Unsurprisingly, in general terms the size of a person’s carbon
footprint tends to increase with wealth.
• Origin of carbon footprint can be traced back to as a subset of
“ecological footprint” proposed by Wackernagel and Rees (1996).

6. 6
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides
information on emissions of the main greenhouse gases. It shows that
about 81% of the totally emitted greenhouse gases were carbon dioxide
(CO2), 10% methane, and 7% nitrous oxide in 2018. Therefore, carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions (or carbon emissions) are the most important
cause of global warming.

• It isn’t easy to calculate a carbon footprint; indeed, it the
“essential but impossible” measurement.
• There are simply some calculators available on the internet.
• Never possible to be completely accurate but there should be a
board idea.

The UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris reached a breakthrough on 12
December 2015: the historic Paris Agreement.
Paris Agreement: Climate Change Deal
16. PARIS AGREEMENT
The Agreement sets long-term goals to guide all nations:
• Substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global
temperature increase in this century to 2 degrees Celsius while pursuing
efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5 degrees;
• Review countries’ commitments every five years;
• Provide financing to developing countries to mitigate climate change,
strengthen resilience and enhance abilities to adapt to climate impacts.
• It entered into force on 4 November 2016. Today, 194 Parties (193
States plus the European Union) have joined the Paris Agreement.

• A carbon offset is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or
greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for or to offset
an emission made elsewhere. One ton of carbon offset
represents the reduction of one ton of carbon dioxide or its
equivalent in other greenhouse gases
• There are two markets for carbon offsets:
1. The larger compliance market
2. The smaller voluntary market
CARBON OFFSET
21. CARBON TRADING
21
Carbon trading is a market-based system aimed at reducing greenhouse
gases that contribute to global warming, particularly carbon dioxide emitted
by burning fossil fuels.

22. CARBON NEUTRAL
22
Businesses often speak about becoming carbon neutral. This means
they’re taking steps to remove the equivalent amount of CO2 to what’s
emitted through activities across their supply chains, by investing in
‘carbon sinks’ that absorb CO2.
Carbon sinks, such as forests or our oceans, absorb and store more carbon
from the atmosphere than they emit. Investment into their health is called
‘offsetting’ and allows companies to operate in good conscience, knowing
their emissions are balanced out.
24. CONCLUSION
• Measuring carbon footprint could be a great starting point for
those who care about their impact on the environment. It is
important to understand where your carbon emissions come
from as there may be a lot of surprises.
• By lowering your carbon footprint, you can help contribute to
the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In our fight
against climate change, everyone making small adjustments
can lead to big results.
24
25. FUTURE PERSPECTIVE
• Carbon footprint has emerged as a strong mode of GHG expression.
• The Personal Carbon Footprint aims to measure the environmental
impact of an individual's activities. Its calculation allows you to
reduce or optimise your energy efficiency and change your
consumption habits to minimise its impact on the planet
