Representatives from the Catapult Network are working with Government, academia and standards bodies to develop a robust, comprehensive framework to accurately measure greenhouse gas emissions of UK manufactured products, that will accelerate industrial emission reduction and position the UK as the place for green manufacturing.
To limit warming to 1.5C, it is critical businesses set decarbonisation targets to include emissions occurred across the full value chain, beyond what they have direct control over. These emissions are referred to as Scope 3 and are often the most significant, but most difficult to accurately measure. It is important that an accurate image of the true embodied carbon is captured in Scope 3 emissions to inform and drive change required to meet net zero.
With this in mind, the High Value Manufacturing Catapult is leading a two-and-a-half-year project on behalf of Innovate UK with support from several other Catapults to develop a framework for creating a best practice guide for measuring embodied emissions of UK products in the context of Scope 3 greenhouse gas reporting.
In support of this project, ALFED would like to invite members to take part in this vital research project and participate in on-hour interviews.
The project aims to cover a broad spectrum of companies, from SMEs to large enterprises, and individuals with different levels of experience in carbon accounting, from those just starting to those who have been engaged in it for many years.
Project Details:
- Objective: The aim of the interviews is to understand the journey of professionals in carbon accounting, from sourcing resources and knowledge, and executing the work, to optimising the process and disseminating the knowledge gained. The insights will be instrumental in shaping a new framework to reduce challenges and streamline the experience of organisations in the UK.
- Interview Format: Virtual, using the provided link.
- Duration: 60 minutes.
- Dates: The link provides the date range available for interviews.
- Confidentiality: All information will be used solely to advance our research, and your privacy will be respected. We are not interested in your carbon data but only in your experience with the process and tools.
Participation Benefits:
- Influence the Future of the Field: Your contributions will directly impact the development of new practices and tools in carbon accounting in the UK.
- £20 Voucher: Protect the Planet voucher!
