    The Pinchin Air Emissions Group is pleased to provide specific technical services related to the evolving field of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) measurement, estimation, monitoring and verification for domestic and international companies and project developers, investors and insurers.

    The Kyoto Protocol comes in to force in February 2005 and with it Canadian companies face challenges and potential opportunities. Under Kyoto, the Canadian government has committed to reducing GHGs by 6% from 1990 levels over the period 2008-2012. This is a significant challenge since Canada's emissions have actually increased substantially since 1990.

    The Climate Change Plan for Canada (2002) outlines a multi-faceted approach to meeting this target, which includes investment in innovation, new technologies and infrastructure, GHG caps and emissions trading for Large Final Emitters, and a series of other measures including facilitating participation of Canadian firms in the international emissions trading markets and the direct purchase of international credits. In addition, the Federal Government is requiring mandatory reporting of GHG emissions above a certain threshold under the NPRI.

    It is widely acknowledged that Kyoto is an inadequate first step in addressing Global Climate Change and will certainly be followed by more stringent and wider ranging initiatives. The need to assess the carbon risks and opportunities associated with business and investment decisions is becoming a fact of life.

    Pinchin provides GHG services grounded in a fundamental understanding of engineering principles related to environmental emissions estimation, measurement, and control. Pinchin has comprehensive knowledge of all major estimation protocols, (IPCC, WRI, USEPA, API, etc.), the growing body of project based methodologies approved through World Bank PCF and CDM Executive Board, and the monitoring and verification requirements to participate in emissions trading schemes. Pinchin staff have experience in CDM and JI projects.

    If you are legally required (or anticipating the need) to report GHG emissions; looking to enhance corporate sustainability through GHG management and monitoring plans; developing or investing in projects domestically or internationally that may provide emissions reductions or offsets; Pinchin's GHG service can help you quantify, verify and monitor the carbon risks and opportunities. Let us support your strategic planning and investment initiatives with reliable and accurate technical assessments.
