Honeywell introduced its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Management offering, a comprehensive portfolio of services that use ongoing measurement, monitoring and real-time emissions data to shape mitigation strategies that help customers meet sustainability goals and compliance requirements.
Many schools, universities, municipalities and other institutions have made public commitments to become carbon neutral or significantly cut GHG emissions. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted new regulations in 2009 requiring certain organizations that produce more than 25,000 metric tons of GHGs, through stationary combustion sources such as heating systems in particular, to monitor and measure emissions. Other regulations adopted by EPA this year may require GHG controls under the Clean Air Act, which will create additional incentives to carefully track emissions.
To help address these needs, the GHG Emissions Management service encompasses the whole emissions management cycle, including emissions inventories, audits to identify reduction opportunities, energy retrofits and implementation of renewable technologies, ongoing monitoring and reporting, and carbon monetization.
Honeywell is a global leader in energy and environmental services, working with organizations to conserve energy, optimize building operations and leverage renewable energy sources. Since the 1980s, the company has completed more than 5,000 energy-efficiency projects in facilities across the globe that are expected to deliver nearly $5 billion in savings.
Overall, nearly 50 percent of Honeywell’s product portfolio company-wide is linked to energy efficiency. The company estimates the United States could reduce its energy consumption 20 to 25 percent by immediately and comprehensively adopting existing Honeywell technologies.
