The rising influence of CO2

1. Carbon dioxide (CO2)

2. Our climate

3. Trends, obligations & experiences

4. Why calculate, reduce and offset

5. Challenges

Agenda

1. Carbon dioxide - visually

1 kg of CO2 ?

10 km with a Prius

3 km with a Porsche Cayenne

1 tonne of CO2 ?

1/6 of an atomium ball

Brussels – New-York (r) ?

2,5 ton

15.000 km/year ?

1,5 ton

Carbon accounting

3 months heating(350 l heating oil or 450 m3 natural gas)

7.000 kmby car

(Golf 1.9 TDI)

1 return flight Brussels – Marrakech(1 passenger Economy)

230 steaks(250g)

What is 1 tCO2e? The consumption of…

500kg of paper 375kg of steel

2.Our climate

By 2050

9 billion humans

ecosystems can recycle 1.1 tons CO2 eq per person

we emit 13 tons CO2 eq per person. (US 24t, China 5t, India 1,6t....)

so our emissions should be reduced by 92% (by 2050) !

Stern Review – 1% of our GDP now…wait = more expensive

Belgian case:

Reduction of - 7,5% vs 1990 (deadline 2012)

363 units have received a quota (40% of Belgium’s CO2 emissions)

Solutions

Internal reductions (efficiency & renewable)

ETS and other trading markets

Clean Development Mechanism

Clean Development Mechanism (Developed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

Stimulates the transfer from fossil to renewable energy (in non-annex 1 countries)

EU & US are largest polluters since industrial revolution

Growing energy need in rising & developing countries

North to South technology transfer NOW

CO2 is global problem, more reductions for less cost

Benefits of strong early action outweighs the costs (Stern Review)

Developing countries will be most affected by climate change

Clean Development Mechanism Examples

Changing an activity, in developing country, which has been occurring and would continue to occur without our intervention “business as usual” or “additionally” factor.

EfficiencyCHP, isolation,…

Renewable:Windturbines, biomass, solar power…

Sequestration:Trees (not yet approved by ETS, for failing to respond to the permanence factor)

3. Trends, developments & obligations

Current trends & shaping forces

Australia signs Kyoto Protocol

Strong American signals

Cap and trade on aviation (from 2012) others maritime, trucks...

G8 decision to halt global warming at + 2°C

Carbon Tax (France) by 2010 on fossil fuels (set at 17€/ton CO2e)

Carbon labelling

Copenhagen (COP15)

Mexico (COP16)

Carbon labeling: Tesco

Ambitious: 70,000 products

Part of a media campaign + competition with Marks & Spencer

Collaboration with Manchester University (£25 millions to set up a new Sustainable Consumption Institute)

LT Objective is to provide a globally accepted carbon footprint labelling system

Collaboration with the Carbon Trust for 30 individual products in 5 categories (tomatoes, potatoes, orange juice, light bulbs and washing detergents) now also dairy

Carbon labeling: Walkers

Walkers cheese and onions crisps: 75gCO2 for a 34g packet

Performed by the Carbon Trust - Costs: k£50

1 Raw materials (potatoes, sunflowers…): 44%

2 Manufacture: 30%

3 Packaging: 15%

4 Transport to the shops: 9%

5 Disposal of the empty packs: 2%

Carbon labeling: Innocent

Announced a plan to label its own-brand products (3000 products)

3 « easy to monitor » indicators:

gCO2 for the packaging

Mileage (in km)

Recycling rate (in %)

Is this relevant? Probably not…See Walkers: Packaging + Transport + Disposal = 26% of CO2 emissions

Carbon labelling: Casino and Leclerc

4. Why calculate, reduce and offset ?

Companies – carbon footprint because:

Customers pressure for transparency

It offers an organisational opportunity (e.g. reducing energy and waste costs, reduction priorities ROI)

It is not an impossible task

It could become mandatory

It is a necessary step to become carbon neutral or propose carbon neutral products

Higher demand and price premium for green products

Why Carbon Footprinting & Labelling?

People become conscious...

Ethically- People- Planet- Future generations

Financially- Eco saves money + 64€/t impact on environmentSource: Stern

Legislations, energy prices & consumer demand...

through

Anticipate, adapt and change

Calculate: become aware of actual footprint

Identify threats & opportunities

(also for products & services)

Reduce:reduce footprint

reduce consumptions and costs (post 2012 carbon tax?)

Offset (= compensatie): Internalise CO2 pollution costs

Reduce impact on climate change

Become CO2 Neutral

(don’t think local)

CO2 Neutral

offset

reducecalculate

Focused approach – then go broader

Leader in the retail sector in the UK (31% market share)

Carbon footprint Tesco – set the scope (GHG)

Farm Distribution

Refrigerants (HFC/CFC)

GHG Protocol Scope 1 & 2

Fertilizer

Slaughterhouse Meat grosist

Energy use

Milk and other coproducts

(allocation key)

Life Cycle Analysis

5. Challenges

Challenges

For companiesIntegrate ‘CO2’ next to ‘price’ and ‘service’

Integrated approach (CO2, energy, Finance, HR, CSR, Marketing,...)

Credible approach (recognised standards)

Communicate internally and externally to maximize effect and return

Think global (team up) – CO2 is a global problem

For authoritiesStimulate actions (subsidies, create interest, inform and educate....)

Set right framework (manual, guidelines, uniformity and clarity ...)

Lead by example

Think global (team up) – CO2 is a global problem

Appendix: CO2logic?

CO2logic

Most recommended CO2 offsetting company in Belgium (IEW/ULB study July 2008)

CO2logic is awarded the “Young Entrepreneurs Award” of the year 2007 by BNP Paribas at their head office in Paris.

CO2logic is one of the three finalists of the prestigious Energy&Environment 2008

Carbon Markets. An International Business Guide. is released by Publishing House Earthscan and includes a foreword by Lord Stern and endorsement quotes from Dr Pachauri and Mr Dimas.
