Clean Energy 101: Carbon Accounting
What is carbon accounting and how can it help corporations reduce their emissions?
RMI’s Josh Henretig will be speaking at The Hub Live, the main Climate Week NYC programming, in a session hosted by Hitachi Vantara. The in-person session is invite only.
Josh’s session covers “collaborative approaches to reduce the comprehensive carbon footprint.” Organizational leaders face challenges in managing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, particularly hidden emissions like embodied carbon. This highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to reduce emissions and positively impact people and the planet. Key measures include developing grid connections, EV charging infrastructure, integrating renewable energy, enhancing data center efficiency, and optimizing supply chains. Effective collaboration with customers and aligning efforts with digital and green transformations are essential.
This panel will explore how corporations can leverage these initiatives to achieve sustainability leadership, balance environmental impact with economic rationality, and build a resilient society.
What is carbon accounting and how can it help corporations reduce their emissions?
Open standards and data formats, and their acceptance by the industry accelerate and guide the growth of a rich accounting ecosystem, harnessing the power of the marketplace to monumentally shift the way greenhouse gas emissions are reported and reduced.
These pilot projects provide a blueprint for improving emissions transparency and driving cuts.
