Measuring the Carbon Management Hierarchy
Tracking progress against neutrality and interim targets
Carbon Mitigation Portfolios:
1. AVOIDANCE
•
AVOID
REDUCE
ACTIVITY
INTENSITY
REPLACE
•
Preventing additional activities before they start – a key
indicator of future performance
Example: Increasing space utilization instead of building
or acquiring new space
2. REDUCE / ACTIVITY
•
•
Reducing an existing level of activity
Example: Fewer BTUs consumed; fewer miles traveled
3. REPLACE / INTENSITY
OFFSET
•
•
Lessening the carbon intensity of activities
Example: Fuel switching (oil > natural gas; introducing
attributed renewables); commuting mode mix (drive alone
> carpool)
4. OFFSETS
•
•
Utilizing carbon offsets to neutralize “unavoidable” GHGs
Example: RECs; sequestration; retail offsets
Progress towards 2015 interim target
Avoidance portfolio “baked into” GHG totals, not separate reductions
