Greenhouse Gas Accounting
Would you like to know your vineyard's emissions?
We use an internationally acknowledged protocol for greenhouse gas accounting, which is purposely designed for the wine industry. The process includes an evaluation of your operation, summary and breakdown of emissions, a reduction plan and assistance to register your vineyard as greenhouse friendly.
The calculator we use breaks emissions into three scopes. The first scope involves emissions where your enterprise has direct control via ownership e.g. tractor usage. The second scope concentrates on power used by your enterprise e.g. electricity. The third scope is separated when calculations are computed, as it takes into account all emissions from activities that are purchased from other enterprises e.g. contract machinery operations. The separation into scopes ensures emissions are never accounted for twice, two different companies counting same emissions.
By careful classification and accounting of activities, an achievable plan can be developed and implemented for your vineyard. Emissions calculation in the vineyard is made simpler by working off recognised co-efficients and models designed for the wine industry. This makes it possible for your vineyard to measure its emissions, without time consuming data collection.
