Northmore Gordon is a carbon and energy consultancy in Australia and South East Asia. Over the past couple of years, we have seen a clear trend with many Australian businesses developing roadmaps and strategies for moving to a carbon-neutral operation. Industrial clients are looking at more fuel substitution projects to cleaner and renewable fuels and commercial sites looking at gas electrification and gas efficiency projects.
In this webinar series, we will discuss various Australian State and Federal government programs that allow businesses to access funding from the creation of energy efficiency certificates and carbon credits for energy efficiency and carbon abatement projects. The funding from these programs will reduce and net system cost, strengthen the business case and help accelerate a carbon-neutral environment for Australia. We will provide numerous case studies Northmore Gordon has been a part of and we will focus on methodologies using a Measurement and Verification (M&V) approach under international protocols.
Who should attend?
Energy managers, project developers, project managers, sales engineers, Sale and BDM who work on energy efficiency projects in the built environment or industrial sectors, or anyone else who is passionate about carbon neutrality, sustainability and energy efficiency or simply wants to learn more about government certificate and carbon creditA certificate that is equivalent to 1 tonne CO2-e. Credits often refer to instruments issued under a cap and trade scheme, where companies are allocated credits up to their emission cap. If they exceed the cap they need to purchase more credits.

How each scheme calculates GHGGreenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. They all have different global warming potentials (GWP) over different time frames, the higher the number, the worse the impact. For simplicity of accounting everything is referenced back to carbon dioxide which has a global warming potential of 1. There are over 200 GHGs listed in the IPCC fifth assessment report, a sample are below. Note that in current carbon accounting standards the 100 year GWP is used.
