Carbon accounting report

Project Brief

This project was commissioned to provide Atea Group an overview of the operations’ CO2 emissions.

The report contains the carbon footprint with carbon indicators for Atea’s operations in 2013. The greenhouse gas emissions have been calculated according to the international standard, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative, including all consumption of fossil fuels for transportation and heating in premises, purchased electricity, air travel and waste. All greenhouse gas emissions are converted into CO2 equivalents. The report supports the group’s commitment to responsible operations locally and for the entire group.

Introduction Environmental focus is an integrated part of Atea’s business strategy towards customers and within their own organization. The aim of this report is to get an overview of Atea’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to facilitate the identification of concrete measures in order to reduce their energy consumption and own GHG emissions. The data collection involve the commitment from employees from various group levels.

The carbon footprint report for 2013 includes all of Atea’s operations in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and the Baltics.

Method The carbon accounting gives a general overview of the company's greenhouse gas emissions, converted into CO2 -equivalents and it is based on reported data from internal and external systems. The analysis facilitates the identification of possible measures to reduce the energy consumption and thus also the overall carbon footprint. The carbon indicators facilitates monitoring of company activities, improvements and highlights areas of possible concern.

The carbon accounting has been assessed using best practice standards and guidelines, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. For electricity, national and regional emission factors have been calculated based on information from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Energinet. Average emission factors for fossil fuels do not differ between locations, where factors from The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) have been applied.

The international standard the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative (GHG-protocol) is the most widely used accounting tool to manage greenhouse gas emissions. The tool was developed through a decade-long partnership between the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. The protocol consists of two accounting standards ("corporate accounting and reporting" and "project accounting") explaining how to quantify and report greenhouse gas emissions. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is working with businesses, governments, and environmental groups around the world and was in 2006 used as the basis for the ISO standard 14064-I: Specification with Guidance at the Organization Level for Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals.

The methodology considers the six most important greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). These are converted into CO2 equivalents based on their global warming potential.

Scope 1: Direct emissions (mandatory reporting) This level comprises all direct emissions from company controlled sources, such as internal transport with company vehicles, own energy generation etc. For Atea Group, scope 1 includes the following:

Fuel consumption: Petrol and diesel from reported mileage allowance and company cars. The fuel oil consumption was reported from stationary combustion in Norway. Natural gas: Stationary combustion in the Baltic’s premises.

Scope 2: Indirect emissions (mandatory reporting) This level concerns all emissions from purchased energy, mainly electricity and district heating. The electricity CO2 emission factor is calculated from the Nordic electricity production mix, which is the emission factor used for Norway, Sweden and Finland. The emission factor for Denmark is given by Energinet. For the Baltics, statistics from the International Energy Agency has been applied. Purchase of green energy does not change the electricity emission factor due to the method chosen in the GHG-standard to calculate Atea Groups carbon emissions. The emission factor used to calculate district heating was provided by the district heating operator, and statistics from the International Energy Agency.

Electricity: Actual and estimated electricity consumption includes all of Atea’s premises and the client related operations. District heating: Actual and estimated energy (kWh) consumption in Atea’s premises.

Scope 3: Indirect emissions (voluntary reporting) While Scope 1 and 2 are mandatory according to the GHG protocol, emissions under Scope 3 are reported on a voluntary basis. Scope 3 comprises other indirect emissions from company activities originating from sources not controlled by the company, such as employee travels, emissions from sub-suppliers, end use of products or services and waste management. The Atea Group report includes air travel and waste management.

Air travel: Air travel is reported as actual distance travel. For those companies reporting the number of flights to a predefined region; the number of flights are converted to travel kilometers. The 9 % up-lift factor is added to the distances to take into account non-direct routes.

Waste: The waste figures are based on actual and estimated amount of waste. In order to reflect the new LCA standard (EN15804) a change was made in 2014 in the calculation method of emission factors for waste. The emission factors for waste have been revised according to the new method in the carbon accounting for the year 2011 and 2012. The emission factors now shows the total climate impact of waste treatment without including avoided emissions in other systems (next cycle). This means that the energy recovery from the incineration of waste for the production of district heating is not deducted from the emission factor of waste for incineration. Recycled waste fractions includes only a small transport component (collection of waste) while the material recycling and replacement of virgin materials takes place outside the system (by the actor who buy the recycled material).

Atea evaluates its climate efforts by comparing the carbon emissions per employee and have a reduction target of 25% CO2 emissions per employee by 2015 compared with 2007 figures. Atea is 2 years’ from ending their target period, and have so far managed to reduce their emissions per employee with 18% since 2007. This reduction is largely due to implemented action plans that are integrated in the environmental management system ISO 14001. The results show that the progress to reach the reduction target varies within the organization. Atea Sweden and Finland are the first regions to meet the target of 25% reduction of tCO2 per employee.
