Watt Utilities is committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon status.
Watt Utilities is aiming to attain the Australian Federal Government Climate Active Certification by 2022.
Watt Utilities Is Utilising A Five-Step Process In Order To Achieve Net Zero Carbon Emission Status
Calibrate
Measuring your energy and emissions data.
Carbon Offsets
Sourcing the lowest cost carbon offsets for emissions which are beyond your organisations control.
Cut Down
Analysis as to where your organisation can implement cost-effective energy saving equipment, i.e., power factor correction equipment.
Procurement
Sourcing the lowest cost renewable energy option(s)
Renewables
Analysis of on-site renewable energy sources (i.e., on-site solar generation)
Climate Active Certification is awarded to businesses that have credibly achieved net zero carbon emissions.
Certification is achievable for both buildings and for organisations
The Australian Federal Government Climate Active Certification Process
Step 1: Make Application
Step 2: Calculate Applicable Emissions
Step 3: Develop and Implement an Emissions Reduction Strategy
Step 4: Purchase Offsets (as required)
Step 5: Arrange Independent Validation
Step 6: Publish Carbon Neutral Business Status
What Does It Mean To Be Carbon Neutral
To become carbon neutral, organisations calculate the emissions generated by their activity (such as driving or flying or electricity use), then reduce these emissions as much as possible and finally compensate for the remaining unavoidable emissions by purchasing carbon offsets or carbon credits.
To Achieve Net Zero Carbon Emission Status, Watt Utilities Will Be Utilising Carbon Offsets and / or Carbon Credits
We have begun a project to achieve Climate Active Certification for both our building and for our organisation.
