  Carbon 101 Workshop - Turning Carbon Reduction into Business Opportunity

  Join Partners in Project Green for this one-day interactive workshop to help your business develop a greenhouse gas (GHG) baseline and reduction strategy. This workshop will provide your company with the know-how to develop a GHG baseline and reduction strategy, by providing a simple and systematic process for collecting your data and identifying ways to reduce your costs and GHG emissions. The workshop will:

  * Combine real time energy data from your facility with interactive tools to help you start to understand and establish your GHG baseline

  * Provide an overview of GHG management strategies, protocols, reporting standards, and enterprise carbon management (ECM) tools

   * Help you create your personalized GHG reduction strategy

  The completion of a GHG reduction strategy for your company will not only help you reduce your costs, but help your business realize the opportunities from a low-carbon economy, including meeting the demands of customers and shareholders, reducing your exposure to regulatory risks, identifying new ways to do business, and receiving recognition for your achievements. In order to utilized real time energy data from your facility,  1 year (12 months) of activity data for natural gas use (in cubic meters) and for electricity use (in kWh) is required. This information can easily be obtained from your utility bills, or directly from your utility provider. This will allow you to begin mapping your GHG emissions and identify reduction opportunities immediately. If this data is unavailable, you will be provided with generic data to demonstrate how to calculate your GHG baseline.

  Date: Thursday, September 16th, 2010

  United Nations Climate Change Conference
  

  ProMéxico, the international trade and investment promotion agency of the Government of Mexico, is planning to host a commercial event on Climate Change Solutions to be organized in conjunction with the COP16/CMP6  United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in Cancun, Mexico on November 29   - December 10.   This event, the Climate Change Solutions Exhibition, will be held over a period of 3-4 days - for which the exact dates are yet to be determined. The event is one component among the parallel activities that the Mexican government is organizing alongside the COP16/CMP6.  A ProMéxico presentation explaining the objectives and cost of participation in the event is attached.  

  Since some provinces have enquired about the COP 16 parallel commercial activities and considering that some Canadian companies may be interested in this exhibition, I would ask you if you can advise  your contacts in Provincial agencies about this event and explore their interest to participate. As a means of gauging interest in participating in the event, Promexico is requesting that interested parties fill out the attached questionnaire.  

  The Trade Section at Canada's Embassy in Mexico plans to attend the event and will provide support to companies interested in exploring the Mexican market.

  If you have any questions please contact Mr. Marco Espinosa (marco.espinosa@promexico.gob.mx)
