Background
This is the fourth intake of the certified carbon auditor
training course. This course has been announced by the Environment Bureau of the
HKSAR Government as related to energy-cum-carbon audit projects meeting the
training requirements for a professional engineer to register as a qualified
service provider to certify energy-cum-carbon audit projects under the
Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF).
The emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas
due to power generation, transportation and other industrial/commercial
activities have caused serious climate change and environmental impacts
worldwide. Each corporation should immediately implement carbon-reducing
measures to mitigation the problems. The first important step is to carry out
carbon audit to identify the sources of carbon emission and quantify the carbon
footprint of a corporation.
The HKSAR Government is taking the lead to promote carbon
audit. HK$450 million has been reserved under the ECF to subsidize
energy-cum-carbon audit projects and energy efficiency projects for building
owners in Hong Kong. The scheme is very much well received by the professional
societies and the general public at large. As an active professional institution
and one of the green partners in Hong Kong, the Energy Institute is in full
support of this initiative by providing timely and quality certified carbon
auditor training course to train up more engineers and professionals to
appreciate carbon audit and to acquire the necessary skills to conduct the
professional carbon audits.
Course
