Enviro-access began developing its expertise in greenhouse gas reduction projects early in the 2000s. Today, our team is considered one of the most experienced in Canada in GHG reduction projects and in the preparation of follow-up technical reports.

• Principal services:
  • GHG emission inventories for companies, institutions, and municipalities
  • Development of strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
  • Identification and quantification of GHG reduction projects
  • Support in the preparation of funding requests for GHG reduction projects
  • Analysis of carbon footprints generated by products and organizations
  • Accounting of GHG emission reductions required for carbon compensations and the preparation of reports
  • Writing of various quantification reports for greenhouse gas emissions (project plan, SMART or SAGES, project information brief, monitoring plan, etc.)
  • Technical assistance for GHG emission audits
  • Assessment of the potential for carbon credits
  • Development of protocols for project quantifications

Enviro-access has carried out dozens of project plans for GHG emission reductions, project information notes (PIN), and inventories of greenhouse gas emissions for industrial, institutional, and municipal clients.

Enviro-access has also completed many GHG emission quantification reports within its support activities for small and medium-sized businesses and its active cooperation with various funding organizations, such as Natural Resources Canada’s TEAM program (Technology Early Action Measures) and Sustainable Development Technology Canada. Since 2002, Enviro-access has thus contributed to the development of numerous demonstration projects introducing new GHG emission reduction technologies.

Enviro-access offers its support for the developpement of new environmental technology, including financing, market studies, search for partners, quantification of greenhouse gas emissions, identification of opportunities to reduce emissions, and budget and activity calendar planning.

• Principal services:
  • Support for project development (planning, search for partners, etc.)
  • Support for identifying and accessing financing (ex.: Sustainable Development Technology Canada and Technoclimat)
  • Quantification of environmental impacts in response to funding organization requirements (GHG emissions and other contaminants in the air, water, and soil)
  • And more!

Enviro-access experts are renowned for their knowledge of procedures that improve the environment and abide by sustainable development principles through reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Whether you’re looking for assistance to demonstrate new technologies or to explore opportunities for investing in energy efficiency projects, Enviro-access can help. Since 2003, Enviro-access has been participating fully in the coordination and implementation of the Enviroclub^OM program dedicated to small and medium-sized manufacturers. Enviroclub^OM is an initiative of the federal and provincial governments, which offers support for profitable pollution prevention projects. Since 2002, Enviro-access has served as a delivery organization for the program. In total, we have coordinated more than 20 Enviroclubs, which represents 250 participating small and medium-sized businesses from various sectors (agri-food, metallurgy, pulp and paper, wood, textiles, chemicals, etc.). For more detail please contact us or visit the Enviroclub^OM program’s Web site.

• Principal services:
  • Identification of viable pollution prevention projects (less than two-year return on investment) within the Enviroclub^OM program
  • Identification of projects and quantification of GHG emission reductions
  • GHG emission inventories

Enviro-access provides customized training on best practices in energy management and pollution prevention for municipalities, companies, institutions, and other groups. Our team of experts has developed and given hundreds of hours of training in various fields. We can therefore provide personalized training that meets your specific needs.

Responsible procurement is a supply method that integrates social and environmental criteria in the purchasing process for goods and services. The goal is to reduce the impact on the environment, increase social benefits, and strengthen the economic sustainability of organizations throughout the life cycle of the products and services involved.

The latest practices in responsible procurement are:

• Specification sheets to help buyers to include social and environmental criteria in calls for tender.
• Responsible procurement policies to determine the risks associated with the supply chain and ensure that products and services purchased are manufactured in conditions that respect the environment and workers’ rights.
• Training for buyers and people submitting orders to understand the environmental and social issues related to products or services.
• The use of total cost of ownership to help companies estimate the direct and indirect costs (purchase price, operating costs, maintenance and disposal fees at end of life) of a product or service.

The carbon footprint of a product or service represents the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) associated with the steps in its life cycle. One of the goals is to promote the low carbon footprint ofQuebecproducts due to their use of hydro-electricity as a main source of energy.

Calculating a carbon footprint:

• Gives a product or service a competitive advantage when promoting the GHG information, if its footprint is less than the competitor’s;
• Identifies opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
• Helps focus on lowering operational costs, particularly those associated with energy consumption.
