Specialty Technical Publishers’ Author Jon Elliott Releases New eBook on Effectively Auditing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
(PRWEB) May 12, 2015 -- Specialty Technical Publishers (STP), one of North America’s premier publishers of comprehensive guides helping organizations maintain compliance and mitigate risk, has released a complimentary eBook, Identifying and Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, by attorney, environmental compliance consultant and long-time STP contributor Jon Elliott.
“All organizations are responsible for some greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and most can find ways to reduce those emissions. The first step is to identify GHGs being handled and emitted–which might include not only fossil fuels but also refrigerants, degreasers, and other industrial chemicals. This eBook provides guidance and easy-to-use checklists to help organizations search their inventories and activities for GHGs, and to catalog GHG emissions. A future eBook will help readers search for alternatives, within their own activities and those of their suppliers.” Jon Elliott
Identifying and Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions provides an introductory discussion of steps an organization or facility can take to evaluate its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
These include the following:
• Screening purchasing and inventory records to identity GHGs purchased and used.
• Calculating direct GHG emissions from use of those GHGs.
• Calculating indirect GHG emissions from use of GHGs by suppliers and vendors to the entity.
For readers who want more details, links to helpful resources are provided, at relevant places in the discussion and as a compilation at the end of the document. Download the eBook here.
“We have heard much over the past three or four decades about the environmental dangers posed by greenhouse gases, and yet the problem persists. As populations grow and the world becomes more industrialized, now is the time to assume responsibility and act to ensure that future generations are not left with an insurmountable problem. This GHG eBook is a handy tool to monitor current compliance and to plan a strategy for future economically sensible management and responsible reduction.” Steve Britten, Acting President, Specialty Technical Publishers
STP also publishes Mr. Elliott’s informative weekly blog posts on the STP blog here.
