Steps to become a CO2 manager

CENTRIC AUSTRIA INTERNATIONAL is providing a modular training and education programme comprising seminars, interactive workshops, project work, coaching on the job and study tours.

Basics of CO2 management
Introduction show the global, but also the economical relevance and the scientific, political and institutional background: more >>

Energy Audit
To make CO2 a manageable subject a number of requirements exists. The first and mandatory step is the performance of an Energy Audit, which means setting up a reliable energy data base. How to do this along best practice experience will be explained in theory and exercised in seminars: more >>

CO2 assessment and company strategy
Come from pure energy data to CO2 balances. Identify options on technical, economical and organisational level to reduce CO2 emissions. Install sufficient planning, monitoring and reporting infrastructures. Harmonize such findings with the individual company policy. Finally set up an action plan for CO2 management for the company. more >>

Emission trading
The trading of CO2 emissions is only one option of CO2 management. The more it is important to raise a close understanding of this instrument. Two aspects have to be highlighted: First, not all CO2 reduction measures are automatically eligible for an emission trading projects; a number of conditions has to be taken into account. Second, most of CO2 reduction measures are beside a possible potential for emission trading, if so, worth to be realised, because of more immediate benefits for a company (cost savings, increased productivity and efficiency, etc.). more >>

Conclusion
A professional CO2 manager should be able to use all options to reduce CO2 emissions to global but also company benefits. Let's not talk only about CO2, but make it really manageable and profitable, at least.
