This one-day course for environmental managers provides an in-depth focus on organizational accounting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and emissions reductions for the oil and gas sector, including upstream, midstream and downstream, with particular emphasis on GHG accounting and quantification for refinery operations. This course focuses on preparing effective and verifiable corporate GHG inventories and utilizes sector-specific GHG protocols and guidance, such as the API Compendium and IPIECA guidelines. Other state registry protocols and project-based protocols will also be discussed and reviewed, including The Climate Registry and the California Climate Action Registry. Finally, the course reviews mitigation options specific to the oil and gas sector as well as quantification of offset project emissions reductions.

This course introduces students to the key steps in conducting an LCA, emphasizing how to ensure relevant data for improving environmental performance are gathered and analyzed. Course attendees will develop a practical understanding of the LCA framework and applications of the LCA for organizational sustainability initiatives. Beyond providing a thorough explanation of the LCA process, the course also addresses emerging protocols for determining product carbon footprints, developing environmental product declarations, and establishing an environmentally preferred purchasing program. Finally, the course presents a comparison of commercially available tools for conducting an LCA.
