Measuring, Monitoring And Reducing Carbon

  26/01/2009
The water industry is now facing up to the dual and at times conflicting challenges of complying both with new climate change policy and the Water Framework Directive. The UK Water industry is currently responsible for the emission of four and a half million tonnes of CO2 with the potential to rise further as a result of increasingly stringent standards for compliance that will required from the Water Framework Directive.
 

 

Carbon emissions are likely to influence operations management; asset serviceability and maintenance, and long-term strategic planning and investment decisions.  This conference on 1st April 2009, in The Geological Society, London (UK) follows on from the 2008 event "Measuring and Managing Carbon Footprints in the Water Industry". 

 

The conference will:

  • identify and highlight methods of best practice within the industry and consider the tangible benefits that a well defined Carbon Management Programme might deliver;
  • consider the barriers to reducing carbon emissions further and the action required from industry to overcome these;
  • examine the current and future challenges facing the water industry face in delivering the apparently contradictory requirements of the Climate Change Bill and the Water Framework Directive;
  • attempt to analyse the likely impacts of a carbon emissions trading scheme; and
  • consider the role of regulation in developing a low carbon water industry.
