Carbon Accounting 201: Establishing Baselines for District Energy Systems

When:  Mar 28, 2024 from 13:00 to 14:00 (ET)

Did you catch Carbon Accounting 101, presented by Lalit Agarwal (EnergyCAP) and Sarah Crawford-Theurkauf (IDEA) at CampusEnergy2024 in February? If not, you can watch it here!

We are excited to continue this conversation on Thursday, March 28th from 2:00-3:00 PM EDT with Carbon Accounting 201: Establishing Baselines for District Energy Systems!

Reliable carbon emission baseline values are some of the most powerful tools a district energy system can have in decarbonization efforts and conversations with customers and leadership. However, establishing those baselines can be challenging- carbon accounting is an evolving field, there are a number of methodologies in the market, and district energy-specific guidance can be hard to find.

IDEA, in partnership with EnergyCAP, is here to help! In this session, we will cover:

  • How to differentiate between Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
  • Gathering the commodity data required for calculation
  • Understanding and selecting appropriate emissions factors

In addition to a short presentation, we hope to reserve a good amount of time for Q&A, so come with your questions. 

Finally, we will demonstrate how to leverage the new and improved IDEA Carbon Count to calculate your baselines for you. The Carbon Count process leverages EnergyCAP’s financial-grade carbon accounting system, CarbonHub, to transform submitted system consumption data into verifiable emissions values, and IDEA is pleased to extend that benefit to participating systems.
