Factors that Impact the Greenhouse Gas Forecast Fundamentals
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this eLearning course, you will gain an understanding of the commonly used
approaches for modeling current and future GHG emissions. To include:
- Top-Down Approach - Examine the top-down methodology, which utilizes aggregated emissions data at the sectoral or national level to estimate GHG emissions.
- Bottom-Up Approach - Explore the bottom-up methodology, which involves aggregating emissions data from individual sources within an organization or sector.
Learn how to identify the internal and external factors that shape GHG emissions
forecasts, highlighting the importance of considering a broad range of variables
that can have an impact on a forecast.
Target Audience
Industry plant technical managers, engineers, maintenance personnel, project
engineers, and engineering and technical personnel involved in managing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
You Will Learn
- Distinguish between top-down and bottom-up modeling
- Recognize what are marginal abatement cost curves
- Describe the application of waterfall charts when determining targets
- Identify the importance of considering relevant internal and external factors when preparing a GHG emissions forecast
- Identify pertinent internal factors and associated variables
