Greenhouse gases (GHG) are the prime culprit when it comes to global warming. CO₂ is the greenhouse gas is of most concern due to its abundance, even though there are other greenhouse gases that are less concentrated in the atmosphere yet have a much higher impact on the climate.

Under the Kyoto protocol the Netherlands has made a commitment to reduce the emissions of six greenhouse gases. In particular for the reduction of CO₂ emissions a Europe-wide system of CO₂ emission allowance trading has been introduced. Within this framework companies have to comply with strict guidelines for the monitoring and verification of emissions data.

A suitable monitoring system has to be composed of a number of elements, be transparent, complete and consistent. The GHG-audit of TIER 4 will help you in gaining a quick insight into the quality and status of your monitoring systems. Due to our extensive experience in this field, TIER 4 has been able to develop a systematic methodology concerning the development of monitoring systems. The result is a valuable document with tips and recommendations on how to improve your monitoring system and/or how to become compliant with local regulations.

TIER 4 can assist you with:

• GHG audit in preparation of ISO-14064 certification
• Audit to evaluate your monitoring system
• Compliance audits for the CO₂ and NO_X emission trading programmes
