Organisations serious about reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions should not only be able to reduce their overall carbon footprint, but their products'. Calculating the Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) is becoming increasingly relevant for businesses wanting to demonstrate, to their customers, they are reducing products' emissions. Hence, this course will teach participants the necessary skills necessary to do so, with reference to International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14067-1:2018.

 

Course description

Participants will learn how their organisations can calculate their products' carbon footprint by recognising the importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with reference to International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14067-1:2018.

Course Objective

Organisations serious about reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions should not only be able to reduce their overall carbon footprint, but their products'. Calculating the Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) is becoming increasingly relevant for businesses wanting to demonstrate, to their customers, they are reducing products' emissions. Hence, this course will teach participants the necessary skills necessary to do so, with reference to International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14067-1:2018.

Course Outline

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
  1. Describe the ISO 14067 key principles, requirements, terms, guidelines, and where it sits within the broader family of ISO standards addressing GHG emissions.
  2. Develop a process map to calculate a product’s carbon footprint.
  3. Calculate the in-use products’ carbon footprint for a range of products and their allocated carbon footprint.
  4. Explain the LCA process, including difference between ‘cradle-to-gate’ and ‘cradle-to-grave’.

Topics to be covered
  • Key Principles of ISO 14067
  • Process Map to Calculate the Carbon FootPrint (CFP)
  • Calculate the In-Use Product CFP
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Process
