Standard Definition
GHG (green house gases)
Emitted (CO2e)
Total: Operational + Embodied
Must INCREASE this
Planet is at capacity and absorbing at a rate less than
emitted. Thus to do this, additionality is required.
a.k.a.
Carbon Sequestration Carbon Offsets
=0
Must REDUCE this
GHG Removed (CO2e)
Carbon absorbed back by the planet
Improved Definition
GHG Emitted (CO2e)
Total: Operational + Embodied
REDUCTION
Onsite Carbon
Sequestration
(only)
GHG Removed (CO2e)
Carbon absorbed back by the planet
It is always superior to reduce and not emit than to offset.
Offsets are often not truly additional.
We should try to do as much as we can
within the site boundary.
