Diesel or standby generation

GHG Protocol Scope 1 - direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company. 4 SUB-CATEGORIES: (1) STATIONARY COMBUSTION - emissions from combustion of fuels in stationary equipment including boilers + furnaces + burners + turbines + heaters + incinerators + engines + flares + ovens + dryers + and other stationary processes; FUELS include natural gas + coal + oil + biomass + biofuels + waste-derived fuels + hydrogen; CALCULATION via fuel consumption x emission factor (IPCC + national + manufacturer + EPA Mandatory Reporting Rule + EEA + others); (2) MOBILE COMBUSTION - emissions from transportation in mobile sources including company-owned/controlled vehicles + trucks + ships + planes + trains + machinery; FUELS include gasoline + diesel + jet kerosene + biofuels + LPG + CNG + LNG + hydrogen; CALCULATION via fuel-based or distance-based methods; (3) PROCESS EMISSIONS - emissions from physical or chemical processes including cement production + iron + steel + ammonia + chemical processes + refrigeration + waste treatment + landfill methane + manure management; CALCULATION via mass-balance + process-specific emission factors; (4) FUGITIVE EMISSIONS - emissions from unintentional releases including refrigerant leaks (HFCs + CFCs + HCFCs + PFCs + SF6 + NF3) + methane leaks (natural gas systems + agriculture) + air conditioning + fire-suppression; CALCULATION via direct measurement + emission factors + leak rates. GHG GASES (Kyoto basket + others): CO2 + CH4 + N2O + HFCs + PFCs + SF6 + NF3; expressed in tCO2e using GWP (Global Warming Potential) from IPCC AR5 (most recent + with AR6 update pipeline).

The organization shall establish, implement, control and maintain the processes needed to meet the environmental management system requirements and to implement the actions determined in clause 6, by establishing operating criteria for the processes and implementing control of the processes in accordance with those criteria; controls can include engineering controls and procedures and can follow a hierarchy such as elimination, substitution and administrative controls. It shall control planned changes and review the consequences of unintended changes, taking action to mitigate adverse effects as necessary, and shall ensure that externally provided processes, products or services relevant to the intended outcomes of the system are controlled or influenced, with the type and extent of control or influence defined within the system. Consistent with a life cycle perspective it shall establish controls as appropriate so that its environmental requirements are addressed in the design and development process for the product or service considering each life cycle stage; determine its environmental requirements for the procurement of products and services as appropriate; communicate its relevant environmental requirements to external providers including contractors; and consider the need to provide information about potential significant environmental impacts associated with the transportation or delivery, use, end-of-life treatment and final disposal of its products and services. The 8.1 processes shall be available as documented information to the extent necessary for confidence that they are carried out as planned.

The organization shall quantify direct emissions separately for CO2, CH4, N2O, NF3, SF6 and other appropriate GHG groups (HFCs, PFCs) in tonnes of CO2e, and should quantify removals.

The organization shall identify and document its data for each source or sink classified as direct or indirect, and determine and document the characteristics of each relevant data set used for quantification (primary, site-specific, secondary; Annex C gives guidance).

Document and maintain business continuity plans that guide teams through response and recovery, collectively containing the actions to continue or recover prioritized activities within predetermined time frames, the means of monitoring the disruption and the response, the pre defined thresholds and process for activating the response, procedures to deliver products and services at agreed capacity, and how the immediate consequences are managed with regard to individual welfare, prevention of further loss and environmental impact; each plan must state purpose, scope and objectives, the roles and responsibilities of the implementing team, the actions implementing the solutions, the supporting information needed to activate, operate, coordinate and communicate including activation criteria, internal and external interdependencies, resource requirements, reporting requirements and a stand down process, and must be usable and available at the time and place it is needed.

Maintain documented processes to restore and return business activities from the temporary measures adopted during and after a disruption.

Determine for energy performance and the EnMS what needs to be monitored and measured, including at a minimum the effectiveness of action plans in achieving objectives and energy targets, the EnPIs, the operation of SEUs and actual versus expected energy consumption; the methods to ensure valid results; when monitoring and measurement are performed; and when the results are analysed and evaluated. Evaluate energy performance and EnMS effectiveness; evaluate energy performance improvement by comparing EnPI values against the corresponding EnBs; investigate and respond to significant deviations in energy performance and retain documented information of the investigation and response; retain documented information on monitoring and measurement results.
