Greenhouse gas inventoriesCMS
focuses on comprehensive inventories for cities and towns,
buildings, campuses, industrial facilities, oil and gas and
coal (from extraction through delivery), supply chains, and
events (such as conferences and festivals). CMS also investigates
particular sectors, such as air travel emissions and supply
chains (e.g., LNG from production, liquefaction, and carriers
to re-gasification, delivery, and end-use combustion). CMS
includes all relevant emissions sources and GHG gases in its
inventories.
CMS starts with a clear boundary definition,
and provides full and transparent reporting of emissions.
CMS documents the methodology, information sources, assumptions,
proxy data, and areas of uncertainty. CMS aims to provide
a comprehensive and repeatable inventory using local or
relevant data in order to foster meaningful measurement
of progress toward established emissions targets. CMS does
not certify emissions inventories for registration or trading
purposes.
CMS supports inventories and scenarios that are intended
to communicate and educate the client, the public, and/or
decision-makers, and therefore produces reports that meet
these goals.
Climate Mitigation and Emissions Reduction. Cost-effective
solutions to reduce emissions abound in every sector. Yet
technology, smarter designs, and innovative solutions can
easily be trumped by “business-as-usual.” CMS
helps clients overcome inertia by working on both the engineering/technology
and the behavioral/decision-making sides of pertinent emissions
reduction opportunities. CMS aids clients to transform solutions
into implementation through mutual leadership, commitment,
and education.
CMS brings progressive solutions to bear on resolving the
gulf between what exists and what can emerge. CMS thinks comprehensively,
aims to solve multiple problems simultaneously, and seeks
out innovative solutions for clients who demand to think outside
the box.
Reduction Targets and Emissions
Scenarios.
CMS develops scenarios of
selected paths toward emissions reduction objectives, helps establish
achievable emissions targets, evaluates the effect of emissions
reduction initiatives and implementation rates, and measures progress
toward established objectives.
Innovative Projects.CMS is committed
to pushing the envelope of knowledge and implementation strategies.
Organizations and individuals who are developing cutting-edge research
projects are encouraged to contact CMS. We feast on new challenges.
Media interviews.CMS grants media interviews
on its published projects (unless client privilege prevails) as
well as interviews on general climate issues, mitigation, technology,
emissions reduction opportunities, energy and climate policy, and
climate stewardship initiatives.
