Overview

Welcome to this course on the ‘Higg FEM V4.0 - Energy and GHG Section’. This course is designed to provide an overview of Energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) management and how to track, monitor and reduce energy consumption and resultant GHG emissions. 

This training course defines the classification of energy sources and categories of GHG Emissions. Learners will be able to identify their facility’s energy sources and establish an energy tracking program.  The training outlines important energy related concepts such as Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Carbon Off-sets. Learners will also get a detailed understanding of reporting their Energy Use based on their purchased electricity, purchased renewables, onsite renewables and relevant EACs.

The Training program is run entirely online in the form of an audio-visual learning. You will be able to take the training at your convenient time. The Technical Content in the Training is interspersed with Activities, Knowledge Checks, and downloadable Resource Materials.

You will be given access to the training course for 6 Months from the moment you launch the course.

The duration of this course is 60-90 minutes. 

Structure

This course will provide the participant with an overview of details required to be filled in the Energy Section of the Higg FEM self-assessment.  Additionally, the following topics will be covered in the Training-

• Understanding the use of energy in Textiles
• GHG Emissions and sources
• Impacts of Energy use and GHG emissions on the environment
• Difference between direct and indirect energy and Scope 1, 2, 3 GHG emissions
• Energy based concepts such as Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Carbon Off-sets
• Tracking and reporting Energy sources
• Report their Energy Use based on their purchased electricity, purchased renewables, onsite renewables and relevant EACs
