GHGm and BBI Biofuels Canada collaborated and successfully completed a key contract with Environment Canada on the “Quantification of Environmental Emissions from Conventional Biodiesel Production.” Working with an operating biodiesel facility, and using firsthand knowledge of the industry, GHGm and BBI provided a framework for emissions quantification to be used to improve Environment Canada’s capacity to predict, identify, and assess a range of environmental, regulatory, technical, and scientific issues. The final report provided a modeled quantification of emissions, addressed best practices in the biodiesel industry, and discussed issues of concern that would likely to be raised by an anticipated and dramatic increase in use of biomass for production of industrial chemicals and transportation fuels in Canada.

Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) has awarded GHGm a position on its roster of Environmental Impact Quantification Experts. SDTC stated that it “believes your firm will be a valuable addition to our team of experts and is pleased to add you to the roster of Environmental Impact Quantification Experts.”
GHGm is experienced with industrial products, agricultural systems, renewable energy solutions, materials and recycling, energy efficiency, transport and biofuels. Our tools include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and greenhouse gas measurement approaches.
We support SDTC project consortia across a spectrum of environmental benefit areas:
- Clean Air
- Climate Change
- Clean water
- Clean soil
GHGm assesses the environmental performance of products and services – creating value for our clients. We provide greenhouse gas project measurement, validation, verification and reporting. GHGm has pioneered the use of the ISO 14064 standards for GHG project measurement, and supports the technical basis of carbon credits as market mechanisms continues to evolve. We help clients realize the opportunity of carbon credits.
The arena of bioproducts and biofuels continues to grow — and this is demanding continued examination of environmental impacts from associated agriculture and bioprocessing systems. GHGm has recently completed a Canadian project assessing the performance of biomass to usable energy, and is midway though an analysis of environmental aspects associated with biofuels facilities.
We are presently working with project developers in agriculture, biofuels, waste, renewable energy, and alternative fuel vehicles - helping them to realize their carbon assets.
Whether thinking domestically or overseas, it’s important to have project design documents based on solid protocols - and to ensure that your monitoring and reporting plans are both sufficient and cost-effective. We have experience in assisting projects in these areas and more.
