CCaLC TRAINING

CCaLC training courses are available - please contact us for more detail.

See below for the an example of the course we run regularly (in association with IChemE).

Two day training course

Climate change is increasingly recognised as the biggest environmental threat we face, and as such it is also becoming a critical business issue. Organisations of all types and sizes are under an increasing pressure to provide information on their carbon footprint and to demonstrate what they are doing to mitigate the effects of climate change. This course has been designed to help organisations address these pressures by providing hands-on experience on estimating their carbon footprints.

Course aims
This two-day course is aimed at understanding the fundamentals for estimating carbon footprints of products, processes and technologies. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), used to calculate the carbon footprint along supply chains, will be explained and applied in a number of practical case studies and hands-on exercises using the CCaLC carbon footprinting software tool. The differences between the ISO 14044 and PAS2050 standards will be examined. The advantages and disadvantages of carbon labelling will also be discussed.

Objectives
The participants can expect to learn about a range of issues related to carbon footprinting, including: the requirements of the LCA and carbon footprinting standards ISO 14044 and PAS2050 how to estimate a carbon footprint for business-to business and business-to-consumer communication how to identify and reduce carbon 'hot spots' along supply chains.
