Fact:
Without GHGs, ave. surface temp of the earth would be 33°C
colder.
Fact:
GHGs at levels unprecedented in last 650 000 years.
Fact:
CO2 @ 280 ppm in pre-industrial times, now 383 ppm, and rising.
Fact:
Methane (CH4) levels increased 150% since pre-industrial times.
N2O increased 18%.

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.
E.g. South African electricity = 1.03kgCO2e/kWh
Petrol = 2.322kgCO2e/litre
Diesel = 2.672kgCO2e/litre
LNG = 1.4920kgCO2e/litre

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the office
1. Paper
• Default to double-sided printing
• Use recycled paper & purchase local (especially for
marketing material)
• Extend use of emails
2. Meetings
• Meet remotely
3. Products & clients
• Sell online
•Incentivise a carbon-friendly supply chain
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
On the road
1. Getting to work
• Fuel efficient or hybrid car
• Car pooling (taxi)
• Motor cycle
• Bus
• Train
• Bicycle
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
On the road
2. Your vehicle
• Diesel v petrol
• Maintenance (check tyre pressure, air filter)

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)

2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions

What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.

Fact:
Without GHGs, ave. surface temp of the earth would be 33°C
colder.
Fact:
GHGs at levels unprecedented in last 650 000 years.
Fact:
CO2 @ 280 ppm in pre-industrial times, now 383 ppm, and rising.
Fact:
Methane (CH4) levels increased 150% since pre-industrial times.

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.

Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).
Hot tips to reduce a footprint

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)

colder.
Fact:
GHGs at levels unprecedented in last 650 000 years.
Fact:

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.

Fact:
Without GHGs, ave. surface temp of the earth would be 33°C
colder.
Fact:
GHGs at levels unprecedented in last 650 000 years.
Fact:
CO2 @ 280 ppm in pre-industrial times, now 383 ppm, and rising.
Fact:
Methane (CH4) levels increased 150% since pre-industrial times.
N2O increased 18%.

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.
E.g. South African electricity = 1.03kgCO2e/kWh
Petrol = 2.322kgCO2e/litre
Diesel = 2.672kgCO2e/litre
LNG = 1.4920kgCO2e/litre

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the office
1. Paper
• Default to double-sided printing
• Use recycled paper & purchase local (especially for
marketing material)
• Extend use of emails
2. Meetings
• Meet remotely
3. Products & clients
• Sell online
•Incentivise a carbon-friendly supply chain
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
On the road
1. Getting to work
• Fuel efficient or hybrid car
• Car pooling (taxi)
• Motor cycle
• Bus
• Train
• Bicycle
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
On the road
2. Your vehicle
• Diesel v petrol
• Maintenance (check tyre pressure, air filter)

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)

2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions

from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.

activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.
E.g. South African electricity = 1.03kgCO2e/kWh
Petrol = 2.322kgCO2e/litre
Diesel = 2.672kgCO2e/litre
LNG = 1.4920kgCO2e/litre

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the office
1. Paper
• Default to double-sided printing
• Use recycled paper & purchase local (especially for
marketing material)
• Extend use of emails
2. Meetings
• Meet remotely
3. Products & clients
• Sell online
•Incentivise a carbon-friendly supply chain

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)

2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).

Fact:
Without GHGs, ave. surface temp of the earth would be 33°C
colder.
Fact:
GHGs at levels unprecedented in last 650 000 years.
Fact:
CO2 @ 280 ppm in pre-industrial times, now 383 ppm, and rising.
Fact:
Methane (CH4) levels increased 150% since pre-industrial times.

Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.

Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper

Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the office
1. Paper
• Default to double-sided printing
• Use recycled paper & purchase local (especially for

Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the household
1. Efficient/renewable energy
• Solar geysers
• Geysers on timers & set at 55°C
• Insulate geysers
• Solar cooker/hot box (50% saving on electricity)
• Heat pump (67% saving on electricity for A/C)
• Kettle usage
• Turn-off standby modes (electricity to 2 million homes pa
in SA)
• CFL bulbs instead of incandescent (5 x longer & 20%
less electricity)

2. Meat-less
• Animal protein is 11 times more fossil fuel intensive
than plant protein
• Livestock contribute 5.1% of total GHGs
3. Water
• Shower instead of bath
• Install water-saving shower head (reduce hot water
consumption by 80%)
4. Laundry
• Sun dry: not tumble dry (save 1.3kg CO2 per tumble dry).
Hot tips to reduce a footprint
In the office
1. Paper
• Default to double-sided printing
• Use recycled paper & purchase local (especially for
marketing material)
• Extend use of emails
2. Meetings
• Meet remotely
3. Products & clients
• Sell online
•Incentivise a carbon-friendly supply chain

Greenhouse Effect
Greenhouse Gases
Fact:
Without GHGs, ave. surface temp of the earth would be 33°C
colder.
Fact:
GHGs at levels unprecedented in last 650 000 years.
Fact:
CO2 @ 280 ppm in pre-industrial times, now 383 ppm, and rising.
Fact:
Methane (CH4) levels increased 150% since pre-industrial times.
N2O increased 18%.
(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
Why is carbon important?
High-rising carbon
What is a carbon footprint?
Myriad concepts
CO2e
Operational boundary
Scope 1, 2 &3
Uplift factors
Global warming potentials
Organisational boundary
Direct emissions
Emissions factors
Indirect emissions
Purpose of a carbon footprint
To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions
and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible
from an organisation/product/individual.
What is a Greenhouse Gas?
Not just Carbon dioxide
- 6 main GHGs, incl:
CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs
Direct & indirect emissions
Organisational level
Direct emissions
Emissions from equipment that an
organisation owns or has control of.
-Vehicle fleet
Indirect emissions
Emissions that an organisation’s
activities are responsible for, but for
which they do not own the
equipment.
- Air conditioning & refrigeration
- Electricity
- Generators
- Air travel
- Office paper
- Commuting
- Logisitics
Emission scopes
Purposefully confusing, but does prevent
double-counting!
Compulsory vs. voluntary
So how do you do it?
Multiply the volume of activity by an emission
factor
Emission factors & Global Warming Potentials
Turns activity into actual GHG emissions.
E.g. South African electricity = 1.03kgCO2e/kWh
Petrol = 2.322kgCO2e/litre
Diesel = 2.672kgCO2e/litre
LNG = 1.4920kgCO2e/litre
Methane (CH4) = 21
Freon (HCFC22) = 1 500
SF6 - 22 800
