Overview About Climate Positive Carbon neutrality Carbon offset project overview

About Climate Positive Not-for-profit focused on action & education on global warming Established to: –Stop the onset of climate change –Provide tools to measure, reduce and offset carbon emissions with accredited projects Australia’s only tax-deductible not-for- profit working with accredited offset projects

Carbon neutrality When practices contribute zero carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere Households Operations Products Events Measure – Reduce – Offset

Carbon footprint calculation  Qualifying calculations and clarifying assumptions builds credibility  Partnering through the supply-chain reinforces strategy Source: New Zealand Business Council for Sustainable Development

Emissions Inventory (tCO 2 -e) Scope 1 - Direct7,265 Scope 2- Electricity52 Scope 3- Other Indirect327,634 Total334, 951 Inventory Case Study: DHL Nordic

Reduce emissions Review processes, procedures and products to identify emission reductions Switching to green power Ongoing monitoring and management Cost savings

Offset residual emissions Carbon offsetting is the act of purchasing greenhouse gas emission reductions, which have occurred somewhere else, because you are unable or unwilling to reduce your own greenhouse gas emissions. A mechanism to deal with residual emissions that are impossible to reduce, not a micro license to pollute

So what makes a good offset? Additionality Verified and accredited by independent third-party –Greenhouse Friendly, Gold Standard, REC’s, Voluntary Carbon Standard Projects which displace fossil fuel use Projects assist transition to low carbon economy Transparency of ownership

Offsets are not all offsets the same Prevention Capture V. Low project risk Proven technologies Specific projects require assessment High project risk with uncertain outcomes Permanence issues Additionality issues

Offset project types Sequestration Emission Reductions Fossil Fuel Reductions Greenhouse Gas Destruction Landfill gas flaring Forests Tillage Geological Renewable Energy CAPTUREPREVENTION Other Greenhouse Gas Reductions Light bulb projects

1.Accredited emission reductions for 100% emissions produced 2.Additional restoration of biodiverse forests –Building wildlife corridors for habitat –Building resilience for biodiversity –Reducing salinity –Creating carbon sink 3.Additional education to embed awareness and action Beyond carbon neutral Offsetting the MOSS conference

Accredited emission reduction project Biogas renewable energy project Greenhouse Friendly accredited Location: Baldivis, Rockingham, WA Capacity: 2.1 Mega Watts (can power 5,240 average households per annum)

Additional biodiversity restoration Delivering maximum carbon outcomes Climate Positive offset
