Greenhouse Gas Inventory for Norwalk, Connecticut
Project Details:
KERAMIDA conducted a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory for the coastal city of Norwalk, Connecticut. This project was undertaken in close collaboration with the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the assessment.
Our team worked diligently to identify key stakeholders who played a vital role in data collection. Once these stakeholders were identified, we organized a productive data collection workshop. During this workshop, we outlined the data requirements for each GHG sector as specified by the Global Protocol for Community GHG accounting. As part of our commitment to producing accurate results, we actively addressed any data issues or gaps that arose during the process. Our goal was to ensure that all information was not only collected but also organized in a manner that facilitated meaningful analysis. To perform the GHG calculations and generate a comprehensive community GHG inventory for the City of Norwalk, KERAMIDA utilized our partnership with the Swedish tech company, ClimateView.
KERAMIDA is also providing in-person training for Norwalk’s internal team, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to use the tool for scenario planning. Additionally, our training will enable the Norwalk team to calculate the return on investment from sustainability and resiliency projects, thereby empowering the City to make informed decisions regarding its environmental and community well-being.
