Introduction

training_carbon.jpgThe Australian Government’s Carbon Pollution ReductionScheme (CPRS) will put a price on carbon emissions. The effects will be felt throughout the economy, and the impact on energy-intensive sectors such as mining will be particularly significant.
The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System (NGERS) requires facilities and corporations that exceed certain thresholds to report their energy consumption,energy production and greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis, beginning with the 2008/2009 financial year. This data will underpin the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.
Organisations need to understand the emerging legislation, control the cost of compliance, determine if they can pass the cost of carbon through to their customers, and determine how carbon costs might be passed up through their supply chain. Each organisation will need to factor the carbon price into their business plans and develop a portfolio of options to minimise the marginal cost of abatement.
This course will prepare you for the changes ahead, explaining obligations under the NGERS and the CPRS, the mechanics of a ‘cap-and-trade’ scheme, and the tools you can use to evaluate the impact on your business.

Course Benefits

Personnel attending this course will become familiar with the complex concepts and terminology of greenhouse gas accounting and emissions trading, thus enabling them to become actively involved in the development and implementation of robust containment strategies to ensure their organisation is prepared to manage obligations under the scheme. They will become more aware of the business risks of emissions-intensive processes, and have the tools to manage the obligations and opportunities associated with the new carbon market.
Participants are provided with comprehensive course notes on CD covering the basic theoretical and practical aspects of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. This will serve as a valuable resource for later reference. The course assumes no prior knowledge and will treat the subjects in sufficient detail to provide a very good understanding of the scheme.

Speaker

Jamie Ally
Director, HAC 

Jamie holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics) from one of Canada's most prestigious engineering universities and is pursuing a PhD part-time.
Jamie works with Government and Corporate clients in the fields of energy, climate change, and sustainability. His previous projects include system design and commissioning of low-carbon technologies, greenhouse gas abatement cost calculations, life cycle assessment of energy chains and transport technologies, offset strategies, energy efficiency engineering, and process control.
Jamie has presented many seminars and briefings on the commercialisation of low-carbon technologies, and the impact of emissions trading on the mining industry.


Glen Head
Director, HAC

Glen holds a degree in Sustainable Development, specialising in Renewable Energy and Public Policy. Glen has extensive hands-on experience with strategic management, policy development, risk analysis and climate change related services. Through holding senior public service positions and consulting to industry for more than 15 years, Glen has successfully bridged the public/private divide.
Glen leads HAC’s government policy practice, providing high level advice on greenhouse gas emissions, carbon trading and energy efficiency, to government and corporate clients. He is actively contributing to policy development at both the State Government and Commonwealth levels, and he uses this knowledge toprovide commercial clients with accurate and timely strategic insights.

Who Should Attend?

Mining executives, financial officers, environmental officers, sustainability officers, engineers, metallurgists, and plant operators should attend this course. Personnel involved in process and plant design, plant maintenance, greenhouse gas accounting, the evaluation and implementation of low-carbon innovations, or operational control over a site, will find this course beneficial.
