Strategy Development

KEMA assists in emission strategy development based on initial scans and specialized tools and techniques

The first step towards the development of an optimal strategy for your business is to produce an inventory of emissions taking place within the organization. An emission scan is carried out to quantify emissions from the different – and sometimes geographically dispersed – production plants within your business. Working from the data yielded by the scan, KEMA uses specialized software tools and other techniques to develop a number of scenarios involving the forecast of NOx and CO2 price developments. We then support you to formulate an emission (conservation) strategy: "make, buy or sell", geared to the scenarios. Essentially, what this entails is determining whether you will have surplus credits that you can sell, or whether your present emissions exceed your allocation, making it necessary to either reduce emissions or buy extra credits. We will help you identify the most cost-effective solution. Where NOx emissions are concerned, that may be the installation an SCR system, while for CO2 emissions the best solution may be further energy conservation or the implementation of carbon capture measures in the production process, in line with the energy efficiency benchmark.
