CARBON MANAGERS - OUR PROCESS
Carbon Managers is made up of a team of experts to assist corporations
- Record
- The corporations' carbon footprint.
- Report
- That footprint as required under NGER.
- Reduce
- The energy use and thereby reduce the extent of the carbon use.
- Rebates:
- Purchase and management of the offsets required.
- Research
- and development funds are available
- Revenue
- to the bottomline is the outcome.
Carbon Managers Pty ltd has the capability to implement and manage these 6 'R's.
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE ENERGY REPORTING ACT [ NGERs]. This legislation requires prescribed entities to Report their carbon footprint. Those entities that are required are those that have a threshold of 500 Tjs for 2008/09 and this amount reduces each year so that reductions are achieved. The Act prescribes boundaries that are broader by definition than just wholly owned subsidiaries. The Act requires reporting on each facility and each corporation .The thresholds are included below
ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES program was introduced in 2006 and is mandatory for corporations using more than 0.5 petajules of energy per annum to report to government which make the report public. In the first cycle 199 corporations accounting for 31 per cent of energy use; in 2011 a second cycle will start.
Carbon Managers has designed software [GRI-AMS] that allows multi site entities to manage the complexity of these programs by dividing the issues into logical segments, allowing for staged allocation of resources to each stream necessary to solve the whole problem.
Underlying this is footprinting software that is configured to up lift invoices and read` them, input data from spread sheets that contain energy, convert them using the government factors and work book and produce an accurate amount of carbon for the entity. This ‘mousetrap’ is the most cost effective means to assess the entities carbon.

These are broad guide lines but more detailed accounting is required to convert these expenditures to carbon.
