… Carbon audits allow organisations to understand their carbon footprint, identify key opportunities to reduce emissions, set robust targets, and to develop the best strategic approach to achieve them. Greenhouse gases can be categorised into three scopes when conducting a carbon audit. These are: Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3 Direct emissions – a result of direct fuel combustion…
…’? A carbon budget is the permitted and cumulative total amount of carbon dioxide that can be released over a specific period of time. It stands as a cap on the total greenhouse gas emissions, which should not be exceeded, to meet emissions reduction commitments. Carbon budgets have become a core component for analysing the potential implications…
