With initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Western Climate Initiative, tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become a necessity for many organizations. To help our customers address this business need, Intelex developed a Greenhouse Gas Emission Tracking Module in 2008.
Like all of Intelex’s systems and modules, the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Tracking Module is designed to be both scalable and configurable; in turn, making the system applicable to all emitter types and constituents. The Intelex System has the ability to track a single point source at a single location or thousands of point sources around the globe. Larger emitters with multi-locations and diverse point sources will benefit greatly from the built-in location-oriented logic that allows all emissions of a common type to roll up to a top location for a top-down view of all point sources.
Organizations using the Intelex GHG Tracking Module have the ability to:
- Define any number of point sources for GHGs or other air contaminants
- Determine point source emission factors that can be applied organization-wide or made specific to each location or source (many emission factors can be found in the USEPA AP-42 document)
- Outline the method and frequency for capturing GHG or air contaminant activities. Energy consumption, vehicle usage, fuel used, etc.
- Create organization-wide tasks for any company representative to complete GHG-related activities
- Automatically convert all GHGs to CO2e and define normalization factors for all organization locations
- Outline multiple emission factors per location and source
- Create frequency-based emission tasks
- Emission inventories for single locations, divisions , business units with organization-wide data roll up
- Define and maintain permit levels at each location or as an organization
- Chart normalized trends across point sources and locations
- Gain unparalleled transparency of carbon credits
- Facilitate transparency across all sources and locations to identify GHG and air contaminant abatement program
