CO₂ Reduction Projects
with certification

You will learn how to operationally execute sustainability projects with a dedicated focus on emissions reduction, in respect to both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction and compensation, and on how to adapt the method from project to project. The approach is designed for both teams that are geographically distributed and/or work at the same location.

Contents

At the course we work with:

• Why CO₂-reduction in projects is relevant.
• The key drivers for CO₂ emissions.
• Key trends in environmental change.
• The SDG Ambition and sign-based targets, 1.5°C.
• Green technology and energy technology readiness.
• Greenhouse gas reduction, scopes 1 – 3.
• Greenhouse gas compensation.
• The key CO₂-related legislation.
• The information available at the UN among others.
• How to facilitate value creation regarding CO₂ Reduction Projects.
• The future of the energy sector.
• Structuring, framing, and organising the project.
• Compiling user needs.
• Facilitating specification workshops.
• Two-tier planning – both for the whole building phase, and for the coming sprint/iteration.
• Facilitating the building phase in the form of sprints/iterations.
• How and where to report the CO₂-reduction.

Benefits for the course participant

After completing the course each participant will be able to:

• The course is very operational and therefore easy to implement.
• Contribute to CO₂ reduction and sustainability through your projects.
• Deliver CO₂ Reduction Projects on time – or ahead of schedule.
• Understand how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced through business activity in the value chain.
  Identify opportunities to drive greenhouse gas reductions through products and services and innovate low-carbon offerings.
• Understand how to extract carbon from the atmosphere through natural greenhouse gas removals and technologies to compensate for business emissions (excluding offsets).
• Understand how to calculate scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and the metrics behind it.
• Understand how to increase greenhouse gas removal and net carbon impact and the metrics behind it.
• Understand green technology within the energy sector.
• Frame and structure CO₂ Reduction Projects.
• Create structured data that can be used quickly and efficiently to adjust the project scope.
• Conduct projects online.
  Work in a way that makes job satisfaction and energy level come together month after month.
• Ensure transparency in the project.
• Facilitate good collaboration across organisations, divisions, and cultures.
• Ensure that the project is under control.
• Report the CO₂ reduction.

Benefits for the company

• Reduce CO₂ emissions in your projects.
• Comply with the applicable CO₂ regulations and legislation.
• Make visible the value of CO₂ reduction and compensation from your projects.
• Transparency in how your company wishes to contribute to CO₂ reduction and compensation.
• Attracting and retaining employees for whom CO₂ reduction and compensation and sustainability are important.
• Opportunity to reuse specifications from one project to another similar project. Here we have seen a reduction in time of up to 80% of the specification work.
• New employees become skilled, faster, at creating project deliverables.
• Quicker project completion due to less do-over work.
  Early value creation.
• If you have a stage-gate project model, implementing this agile project model is manageable.
• The CO₂ reduction elements can be coupled with other project approaches.

Sustainable Projects Community

After the course you will become member of the Sustainable Projects Community, where you will have the opportunity to participate in our Sustainable network arrangements, workshops in Denmark, access to training videos and will be invited to the most influential sustainability and web 3.0 conferences, e.g., World Economic Forum, COP, FN General Assembly, SXSW, Cannes Lions and Consensus. Here you can get the opportunity to speak and network. In this manner, the community will strengthen your sustainability network locally and globally in the World as we know it today and in web 3.0.

Target group

The course is aimed at project managers, sustainability employees, team leaders, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, project participants, PMO-members, mid-level managers, and others, who wish to learn how to reduce the CO₂-emissions in your projects. No qualifications are needed to participate in the course.
