Greenhouse gases, carbon emissions

 

Global warming and climate change have become key topics in sustainable development. Governments of countries as well as customers (brands, consumers) are increasingly aiming for more stringent requirements on energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, companies must be able to understand and manage their GHG-related risks to ensure long-term success in a competitive business environment, and to be well prepared to meet regulatory requirements. Brand, country or regional climate policy. At the COP26 Climate Change Summit in Glasgow, Scotland, UK, all 197 countries participating in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted the Climate Treaty. post-Glasgow. The treaty published on the website of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) recognizes that the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.50C requires a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. quickly, in which CO2 emissions must be reduced by 45%, CH4 emissions must be reduced by 30% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels and aim to reach carbon neutrality by 2030 and Netzeo by 2050.

 

 

Greenhouse gas inventory is the activity of collecting information and data on sources of greenhouse gas emissions, calculating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and absorption of greenhouse gases within a specified range and in a specific year. according to methods and procedures issued by competent authorities.

 

 

According to Decree 06/2022/ND-CP regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Mitigation and Ozone Layer Protection, Vietnam has about 5000 businesses that need to conduct a greenhouse gas inventory. This field is still quite new in Vietnam. And some frequently asked questions are: “WHAT IS A GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY?”, “WHY” and “WHEN” should a Greenhouse Gas Inventory be done?” “How to do it?” is one of the most important questions that the vast majority of businesses often ask in this field.

According to the law: On January 18, 2022, Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh just signed Decision No. 01/2022/QD-TTg promulgating a list of fields and establishments that emit greenhouse gases that must comply greenhouse gas inventory.

 

Accordingly, there are six sectors that must conduct greenhouse gas inventories including: energy, transportation, construction, industrial processes, agriculture-forestry and land use and waste. That is:

 

Establishments that emit greenhouse gases must conduct a greenhouse gas inventory if they have an annual greenhouse gas emission of 3,000 tons of CO2 equivalent or more or fall into one of the following cases:

 

a) Thermal power plants and industrial production facilities with total annual energy consumption of 1,000 tons of oil equivalent (TOE) or more;

 

b) Freight transport companies with total annual fuel consumption of 1,000 TOE or more;

 

c) Commercial buildings with total annual energy consumption of 1,000 TOE or more;

 

d) Solid waste treatment facilities with annual operating capacity of 65,000 tons or more.

 

List of facilities that must carry out greenhouse gas inventory can be found in Appendix II-III-IV-V according to Decision 01/2022/QD-TTg at the following link:https://thuvienphapluat.vn/van-ban/Tai-nguyen-Moi-truong/Quyet-dinh-01-2022-QD-TTg-co-so-phat-thai-khi-nha-kinh-phai-thuc-hien-kiem-ke-khi-nha-kinh-501161.aspx
