Scope 4
In our webpage about net zero carbon we clarify what the industry means with GHG emissions Scope 1, 2 and 3. A few years ago the GHG Protocol released a survey to scope out the need for a new standard to help companies quantify and report the avoided emissions of […]
Carbon offsetting
Carbon offsetting is a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) or other greenhouses gases (GHG) made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere (e.g. embodied carbon or operational carbon, for these definitions see our knowledge centre webpage on net-zero carbon). Offsetting can occur through a variety of different […]
GHG
GHG A greenhouse gas (GHG) is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infra-red range, causing the greenhouse effect which is critical to supporting life, and initially was a precursor to life moving out of the ocean onto land. In a nutshell, Earth receives energy from the […]
Infra-red thermography
Infra-red thermography Infra-red thermography is the science of using electric optical devices to detect heat from structures or equipment being inspected. Any object that has a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 °C = 0 K) emits radiation in the infra-red region. Human eyes can only detect visible light (or visible […]
