EI LIVE I Introducing GGEC - The Energy Institute Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator for Remediation Options Apraisal
Stage 2 in the Environment Agency's Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) process is Remediation Options Appraisal - given the diagnosis that there is a need to remediate, the prescribed remediation strategy needs to be selected. There are usually several alternative strategies each of which could achieve the risk reduction and other goals. So criteria for choosing among short listed options are needed - these could be cost, duration, or sustainability including... greenhouse gas emissions.
The Energy Institute Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculator (GGEC) estimates Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions as CO2e for those soil and water remediation strategies listed in the Environment Agency's LCRM Remediation Options Matrix.
Users enter site details and information for up to three alternative remediation strategies comprising one or more technology. For each technology, users select the vehicles, plant and equipment (VPE) needed. GGEC reports the calculated carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (CO2e) for each strategy.
During this webinar, its developers will explore how the GGEC works, how users can modify it, how to use its results in remediation option appraisal... and how to download the FREE calculator and user guide.
