Korshub's take

The first module in a Scope 1–3 emissions series

Produced by HPBS BV as part of a broader sustainability training ecosystem, this module focuses specifically on Scope 1 — an organization's direct greenhouse gas emissions. It moves from big-picture climate context down to hands-on calculation, ending with a practical exercise rather than theory alone.

What's covered

Sustainability basics, climate risk, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement
Core definitions: greenhouse gases, carbon footprint versus ecological footprint
Identifying Scope 1 emission sources specific to an organization
The data, coefficients, and emission factors used to calculate direct emissions
A practical exercise identifying and calculating an organization's Scope 1 emissions

Who it's for

Sustainability, ESG, or facilities professionals starting a structured path through GHG accounting — this module is designed to be followed by the instructor's separate Scope 2 and Scope 3 courses.

About this course

Welcome to the first module of Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculation Methodology by International Practices Course by HPBS BV company. The program was developed by HPBS experts and is part of an ecosystem of educational trainings in the field of sustainable development, green economy and reducing the ecological footprint.

In this module, you will look at what sustainability is and what is happening to the climate. You will learn about Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. In the first section you will figure out what greenhouse gases are and what a carbon footprint is, and how a carbon footprint differs from an ecological footprint. In the next section you will specify and review Scope 1 GHG emission sources, discover what type of data can be used for quantification of GHG emissions, go through coefficients and emissions factors that are used when calculating greenhouse gas emissions.

As the practical task you will detect direct greenhouse gases emissions sources for Scope 1 and we will perform some calculations for direct emissions.

The following questions are addressed in this module:

basic concepts of climate change
types of climate risks
greenhouse gases
carbon footprint
sources of direct emissions of the organization (which are Scope 1 emissions);
input data needed for estimation of Scope 1 emissions
details of Scope 1 emissions calculations;
and practice some calculations ourselves.

After this module we highly recommend you to continue studding GHG Emission Calculation Methodology for Scope 2 and Scope 3 with the courses which you can find in our Instructor profile.
