The emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) due to power generation, transportation and other industrial / commercial activities are contributing to climate change and environmental impacts worldwide. Each corporation should immediately implement carbon-reducing measures to mitigate the problems. The first important step is to carry out a carbon audit to identify the sources of carbon emissions and quantify the carbon footprint of a corporation. As energy consumption is one of the major sources of carbon emissions, it is always effective to reduce carbon footprint through implementing energy saving measures.

As an active professional institution and one of the green partners in Hong Kong, the Energy Institute is active in providing timely and quality certified carbon auditor courses to train engineers and other professionals to understand the audit process and to acquire the necessary skills to conduct professional carbon audits.
