Toward a Low-Carbon Economy: The Clim’Foot Project Approach …
91
The voluntary program has highlighted that training and support actions are important for the CFO calculation and the definition and implementation of mitigation
policies. This experience has given useful feedback on the main tools developed in
the project, namely the database and the training. For the database, the organizations
identified the need to update some existing EFs, such as the Italian electricity mix
and transportation, and to develop new EFs in some sectors such as chemicals and
waste. Moreover, during the voluntary program, many organizations have requested
further explanations about the system boundary definition and the difference among
approaches (operational, financial). Therefore, the training structure was improved
to include a more detailed explanation of these features and integrate new and more
practical examples. This new structure has already been implemented in the training
developed during the “CReIAMO PA” workshops and laboratories.
