CO2 Reduction Projects with certification

Introduction to CO2 Reduction Projects

More than 30% of the western economy is tied up in projects. In other words, we can make a big difference by incorporating CO2 reduction into our projects.

Accordingly, we have further developed our project approaches on sustainability, emissions reduction, and agile project management into our 
hands-on course on CO2 Reduction Projects with certification.

About the course

You will learn how to operationally execute sustainability projects with a dedicated focus on emissions reduction, in respect to both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction and compensation, and on how to adapt the method from project to project. The approach is designed for both teams that are geographically distributed and/or work at the same location.

Contents

At the course we work with:

• Why CO2-reduction in projects is relevant.
• The key drivers for CO2 emissions.
• Key trends in environmental change.
• The SDG Ambition and sign-based targets, 1.5°C.
• Green technology and energy technology readiness.
• Greenhouse gas reduction, scopes 1 – 3.
• Greenhouse gas compensation.
• The key CO2-related legislation.
• The information available at the UN among others.
• How to facilitate value creation regarding CO2 Reduction Projects.
• The future of the energy sector.
• Structuring, framing, and organising the project.
• Compiling user needs.
• Facilitating specification workshops.
• Two-tier planning – both for the whole building phase, and for the coming sprint/iteration.
• Facilitating the building phase in the form of sprints/iterations.
• How and where to report the CO2-reduction.

Benefits for the course participant

After completing the course each participant will be able to:

• The course is very operational and therefore easy to implement.
• Contribute to CO2 reduction and sustainability through your projects.
• Deliver CO2 Reduction Projects on time – or ahead of schedule.
• Understand how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced through business activity in the value chain.
  Identify opportunities to drive greenhouse gas reductions through products and services and innovate low-carbon offerings.
• Understand how to extract carbon from the atmosphere through natural greenhouse gas removals and technologies to compensate for business emissions (excluding offsets).
• Understand how to calculate scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and the metrics behind it.
• Understand how to increase greenhouse gas removal and net carbon impact and the metrics behind it.
• Understand green technology within the energy sector.
• Frame and structure CO2 Reduction Projects.
• Create structured data that can be used quickly and efficiently to adjust the project scope.
• Conduct projects online.
  Work in a way that makes job satisfaction and energy level come together month after month.
• Ensure transparency in the project.
• Facilitate good collaboration across organisations, divisions, and cultures.
• Ensure that the project is under control.
• Report the CO2 reduction.

Benefits for the company

• Reduce CO2 emissions in your projects.
• Comply with the applicable CO2 regulations and legislation.
• Make visible the value of CO2 reduction and compensation from your projects.
• Transparency in how your company wishes to contribute to CO2 reduction and compensation.
• Attracting and retaining employees for whom CO2 reduction and compensation and sustainability are important.
• Opportunity to reuse specifications from one project to another similar project. Here we have seen a reduction in time of up to 80% of the specification work.
• New employees become skilled, faster, at creating project deliverables.
• Quicker project completion due to less do-over work.
  Early value creation.
• If you have a stage-gate project model, implementing this agile project model is manageable.
• The CO2 reduction elements can be coupled with other project approaches.
