Emission inventories provide a baseline of current performance, aid decisions about pollution reduction measures and are a central platform of mandatory environmental accounting schemes such as the National Pollutant Inventory, the proposed Energy Efficiency Opportunities Assessment program, as well as voluntary agreements such at the Greenhouse Challenge program. These programs are intended to increase awareness of emission and energy performance and promote the benefits of improved efficiency and emission reductions.
It is common practice for emissions inventories to be based on emission estimation techniques, or a combination of estimation and direct measurement techniques. Emission estimation techniques are often required for impact assessment of proposed developments where no direct measurement data is available prior to commissioning.
The principals and staff of Mirrabooka Consulting have extensive industry experience and are familiar with the development, application and practical use of inventories such as the National Pollutant Inventory and the Greenhouse Challenge Program. We have undertaken NPI and Greenhouse Challenge consulting projects for clients in the mining, health care, rendering, electricity generation, electricity and gas distribution, and manufacturing industries. Our consulting projects include application and use of published emission estimation techniques, mass balance, engineering equations and monitoring data for calculation of facility emissions as well as research and development of alternative emission estimation techniques.
Our staff have developed and delivered NPI workshops on behalf of Australian Industry Group, provided input to industry policy submissions on the NPI and assisted in the preparation of several emission estimation manuals. In 1999, Brian Koks was nominated for an Energex environmental services award for his work on Energex’s Greenhouse Challenge Inventory and report.
