The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) is a widely accepted framework for calculating and reporting carbon footprints across different sectors.
The energy sector contributes the most carbon emissions globally, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels for electricity and heat production.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to global warming due to its high concentration and long atmospheric lifetime.
A carbon footprint assessment measures the total greenhouse gas emissions produced directly and indirectly by an entity, activity, or product.
Transitioning to renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar, significantly reduces an organization’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon offsetting involves compensating for emissions by investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gases, such as reforestation or renewable energy.
