Report CO₂ - Irish Exporters Association

Course Overview

Carbon Calculation and Reporting is a practical and interactive course that trains participants on calculating their organisation’s supply chain emissions using practical tools such as the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework for freight and logistics. Participants will understand the transport chain and how to assess their organisation’s impact from freight transport. Participants will also be shown options for reporting emissions to clients, supply chain partners and investors.

Programme Modules

This practical half-day course covers eight core areas of carbon calculation and reporting over the three hours.

Module 1

Foundations and Context

Discover one of the biggest challenges facing global trade today: reducing transport emissions while trade volumes continue to grow significantly through 2030 and beyond. Participants will learn of Ireland’s specific challenges with an economy heavily reliant on exporting goods off the island.

Module 2

Calculation

Gain a practical understanding of the basic maths and principles of calculating greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain. Participants will learn of the Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC), which provides a global framework for calculating carbon emissions from transport and logistics. The key steps in the GLEC framework will be outlined.

Module 3

Transport Chain

Explore the key modes of transport covered by the GLEC Framework: Air, Rail, Road, Sea, Inland Waterways and Logistics Sites and the associated carbon intensity of each mode. Participants will then learn the difference between boundary and scope when calculating their organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Module 4

Boundary

Learn how to set the boundaries for carbon accounting and what a company should and should not include in their calculations. The credibility of different data sources will then be discussed, followed by guidance on setting ambitious but achievable science-based targets.

Module 5

Scope 1

Develop a practical understanding of Scope 1 direct emissions from fuel usage, how to take accurate readings from fuel pumps, how to account for uncertainty and how to best report the data.

Module 6

Scope 2

Discover Scope 2 indirect emissions from purchased energy and how to calculate emissions from electricity and energy bills.

Module 7

Scope 3

Understand Scope 3 indirect emissions from outsourced logistics and supply chain activities and companies’ responsibilities for these indirect emissions.

Module 8

Considerations

Review the maths and key takeaways from the course on calculating direct and indirect emissions. Participants will be shown how to access the GLEC framework and other emissions calculation and reporting tools that can be used in-house.
