Decarbonization is the process of reducing carbon intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. This entails decreasing CO2 emissions from buildings, power generation, and transportation per unit of electricity generated.
Those who work toward decarbonization are responsible for identifying, selecting, and implementing projects that will lower overall emissions, whether employed as consultants, members of a sustainability team, or involved in facility operations. These professionals are counted on to analyze projects as well as understand carbon pricing and the cost of energy so that they can make the right choices for their organizations.

Thanks to the Becoming Carbon Neutral course, I gained a better understanding of how the industry’s approach to carbon neutrality is taking significant strides towards standardization, definitions, and requirements. Unfortunately, some requirements are challenging for a small northern jurisdiction like Yukon. But knowing the industry standards was tremendously helpful for figuring out where we are and where we need to be. I was able to identify areas where we already do well, pinpoint gaps, and allocate resources accordingly. The course helped me understand the overall trajectory that our organization should follow to achieve carbon neutrality.
