INTRODUCTION TO CARBON FOOTPRINT

The carbon footprint is the sum total of all the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because of the direct and indirect activities of the

event. Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, land clearance, and the production and consumption of food, fuels,

manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, and services. For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the

amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.

A carbon footprint has historically been defined by Championne as "the total sets of Greenhouse Gas emissions caused by an

organization, event, product or person."

9

The Standard definition for Carbon Footprint is

“A measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions of a defined population, system or

activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the population, system or

activity of interest. Calculated as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) using the relevant 100-year global warming potential (GWP100)”.

Carbon Footprint Calculation includes emissions from activities involved in planning the whole event and also emissions due to

activities happening during the particular event.

Kyoto Protocol:

The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty that sets

binding obligations on industrialized countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

The UNFCCC is an environmental treaty with the goal of preventing "dangerous" anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) interference

of the climate system. International emissions trading allows developed countries to trade their commitments under the Kyoto

Protocol. Developing countries do not have binding targets under the Kyoto Protocol, but are still committed under the treaty to

reduce their emissions. Under the Protocol, emissions of developing countries are allowed to grow in accordance with their

development needs.

The treaty recognizes that developed countries have contributed the most to the anthropogenic build-up of carbon dioxide in the

Atmosphere (around 77% of emissions between 1750 and 2004), and that carbon dioxide emissions per person in developing

10

Countries (2.9 tonnes in 2010) are, on average, lower than emissions per person in developed countries (10.4 tonnes in 2010).

Carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, and the emissions of other GHGs, are often associated with the burning of fossil

fuels, like natural gas, crude oil and coal. While this is harmful to the environment, carbon offsets can be purchased in an attempt to

make up for these harmful effects. The Kyoto Protocol defines the Legally Binding targets & Timetables for cutting the GHG

emissions of industrialized countries that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol.

Trading & Emission Certificates:

Certified Emission Reduction (CER)

Emission Reduction Unit (ERU)

Verified Emission Reduction (VER)

Mandatory Market Mechanisms:

To reach the goals defined in the Kyoto Protocol, with the least economical costs, the following flexible mechanisms were

introduced for the mandatory market:

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

Joint Implementation (JI)

Emissions trading

Sample Case Study: RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

I. Information about the Reporting Organization, Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a cricket team based in Bangalore that plays in Indian Premier League (IPL) since its

inception in the year 2008. RCB is the franchise owned by United Breweries Group (UB) under its subsidiary Royal Challengers

Sports Private Limited (RCSPL). RCB’s office is based in Bangalore in one of the buildings called Canberra Block of UB

Corporate office. The RCB office team works during the IPL months exclusively for RCB while for rest of the months, they are

involved in other sports activities of RCSPL like Formula 1 and football.

II. Responsible Entity

Mr. Sidhartha Mallya, Director, Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited is the responsible entity at Royal Challengers

Bangalore.

III. GHG Inventory of RCB

The carbon footprint is the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions because of the direct and indirect activities of the

event. It includes emissions from activities involved in planning the whole event apart from emissions due to activities

happening during the IPL Season 5 held in the year 2012 in the months of April and May.

12

The emissions of RCB have been estimated and reported as per the ISO-14064: 2006 Part 1 guidelines. Further, GHG protocol given by WRI and WBCSD has also been referred to. Both the guidelines have been consulted and referred to at different sections of the report.

1. ISO 14064: 2006 Part 1

ISO 14064: 2006 Part 1 is an international specification which gives guidance at the organizational level for quantification and

reporting of GHG emissions and removals. It was developed by Working Group (WG) 5 on Climate Change of ISO Technical

Committee (TC) 207, which is responsible for the ISO 14000 family of environmental management standards.

2. The GHG Protocol and Accounting Principle

The GHG Protocol Initiative is a multi-stakeholder partnership of businesses, non-

governmental organizations (NGOs), governments and others, convened by the World

Resources Institute (WRI), a U.S. based environmental think tank and the World

Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a Geneva-based coalition of

about 200 international companies.

3. Boundary definition for RCB’s GHG Inventory

The first step in estimating the carbon footprint is to define the boundary. The boundary is

defined in two categories, first the organizational boundary and then the operational boundary i.e. identifying the emission sources

that are to be included in the carbon inventory of RCB.

13

a. Organizational Boundary

For organizational GHG emissions reporting, two distinct approaches can be used to consolidate these emissions; i.e. the control or

the equity share approach. Operational Control Approach has been used to define the organizational boundary of RCB. The

organizational boundary for GHG inventory of RCB is selected as the RCB’s office in Bangalore which is located on the level 9,

Canberra Block, UB City 24, Vittal Mallya Road, Bangalore, 560001 as well as Chinnaswamy Stadium located at M.G. Road, Bangalore.

RCB has full operational control over the activities like usage of stadium and the equipment in the stadium, RCB team and staff-

travel and stay etc (detailed list of emission factors included in GHG inventory is given further under operational boundary section).

Stadium covers all the facilities located within the stadium like match ground, dressing rooms and other rooms and areas located

within the stadium as well as utilities like Gensets etc. Royal Challengers Bangalore has operational control over all the above

sources from stadium as per the arrangement between RCB and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). Operational boundary

does not include any parking spaces taken by stadium authority KSCA on lease during the match days as RCB has no control over

them.

b. Operational Boundary

Defining Operational boundary is identifying the emission sources to be included in the GHG inventory. GHG Protocol’s 5 principles

(relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency and accuracy) were used to map the importance of each emission source in the

overall carbon inventory of RCB. Along with the principles of the GHG Protocol, another materiality test based on parameters of

“control” and “impact” was used to determine the emission sources to be included in RCB’s boundary. The methodology of the

materiality test is elaborated in the subsequent sections. Broadly, the emission sources considered have been listed below under

14

separate heads like energy consumption, air travel, road travel, lodging and others. These emission sources have been classified

further in the next section into various scopes as per the GHG Protocol.

15

16

Final List of Emission Sources:

Based on the materiality analysis of all the possible emission sources, the following figure represents the gist of those emission

sources which have been finally included into the GHG Inventory of RCB for the IPL Season 5 held in 2012.

17

1. The inventory period

The IPL tournament took place this year in the months of April and May, starting from 4 th April 2012 and finishing up on 27th May

2012. Thus, The GHG inventory for RCB is done for these two months of April and May 2012 have been taken as inventory period for

calculating emissions from Chinnaswamy stadium where the matches in Bangalore were held. For preparing the inventory of RCB

office in Bangalore, a more conservative time period of higher activity has been taken from February 2012 till June 2012. The more

conservative period of 5 months has been taken instead of the IPL months of April and May 2012 as this would include all other

activities/events and preparation phase of RCB for IPL 5.

2. Base Year

The previous inventory year i.e. January 2011 to May 2011 is the base year since it was the first year when GHG inventory was made

for RCB.

18

Classification of Emission Sources based on GHG Protocol

Scope 1: Direct Emissions

Owned Diesel GeneratorsRCB has control over the Gensets that it owns. The emission source included in this category is RCB office. The details about the

gensets are included later under the GHG estimation section.

Scope 2: Indirect Emissions through Energy Use

Grid ElectricityEmission Sources included

Electricity consumption in RCB’s Office throughout the IPL season for the time from February 2012 to June 2012 when the

RCB employees work

Electricity consumption in Chinnaswamy stadium for the two months of April and May 2012 when IPL matches are

conducted.

Purchased Electricity from Diesel GeneratorsThis accounts for the carbon emissions from the electricity that is purchased from gensets not owned or not under the operational

control of RCB. It includes diesel generators used in the stadium on the match days to generate electricity.

Emission sources included

Generator sets owned by KSCA which is responsible for management of Chinnaswamy Stadium

19

Generators provided by Private Contractors (Shri Venkateshwara)

Scope 3: Other Indirect EmissionsAir TravelRCB air travel accounts due to travel undertaken during the preparation as well as during the matches when RCB team has to fly

from one location to another. Air travel has been included for the following emission sources

RCB Players

RCB team Management Staff

RCB Employees

Road TravelRoad travel includes the following emission sources

Fans- to and from the stadium

RCB players & team staff- hotel to stadium and stadium to hotel

RCB Players & team staff- airport to hotel and hotel to airport

RCB employees-travel from home to office and office to home

LodgingThe hotel stay of players and RCB team staff results in use of resources and, therefore, in carbon emissions.

20

The emission sources included are:

RCB Executives’ stay in Bangalore & away locations

RCB players’ and RCB Team staff stay at the hotels in Bangalore for home matches and in other cities for away matches.

Waste

Waste disposal at the stadium results in GHG emissions and, thus, included under RCB’s GHG inventory. But since the waste

generated in the stadium is segregated into food waste, paper waste, metallic waste, plastic waste and sent for composting and

recycling, the emissions are reduced from waste generation. However, these emission reductions are not accounted to be on a more

conservative side.

Emission Estimation

The quantification methodology used for the calculation of emissions from each emission source for RCB is based on GHG activity

data multiplied by GHG emission or removal factors. This is the most appropriate methodology amongst the list of methodologies

approved by GHG Protocol. The following is the quantification formula used.

This is the methodology described in GHG protocol and is followed as a standard all over the world for GHG Inventory projects based

on GHG protocol.

Activity Data-It is the data on the magnitude of human activity, resulting in emissions during a given period of time (Eg. quantity of

fuel combusted for running a vehicle).

21

Emissions (MT CO2e) = Activity Data x Emission Factor (Kgs CO2e/Unit of activity data) x 10^-3

Emission Factor-A coefficient that relates activity data to the amount of chemical compound that is the source of later emissions.

Emission factors are often based on a sample of measurement data, averaged to develop a representative rate of emission for a

given activity level under a given set of operating conditions.

Emission Reductions

RCB has taken many initiatives to reduce the carbon emissions which occur due to its various activities. All these initiatives are fan

driven. Below described is the emission reduction achieved by the initiative of Solar Water Heater.

Use of wind powered electricityRCB sourced “Green Electricity” from BESCOM to conduct matches during IPL 2012 held in the months of April and May 2012.26000 KWh each were sourced for the months of April and May 2012. The power was sourced at an extra cost of Re.1 per unit.

The relevant proofs have been attached in Annexure 3.

Use of Solar Water HeatersThe conceptFans donate the emissions achieved by the use of solar water heaters (SWH) through an online platform on the RCB Website. A list

of questions was asked from the fans who entered their particulars in the respective fields. These particulars automatically got saved

in the form of database in a Google spreadsheet. This spreadsheet was non-editable. Thus, as soon as a fan entered his/her

particulars the details got stored in the database and were non-editable further.

The questions which were asked to the fans were:

1. Time since they are using the Solar Water Heater

2. Capacity of the SWH installed at their home

3. Complete contact details of the fan with address and telephone number

23

Before submitting the details fans confirmed that they had not donated their emission reductions anywhere before and they would

not use them anywhere else in future, after they have donated their reductions to RCB.

Reduction Calculation Methodology

Steps

1. The timeframe for which emission reductions are claimed is from 2010 till present. So, a solar water heater that has been

used since 2010 is taken as 3 years of usage.

2. Capacity provided by the registered fans is taken for calculation

3. The methodology referred for calculations is Clean Development Methodology (CDM)project methodology for the Project

3757 : Bundled Solar Water Heater Project from India and registered with UNFCCC available at the link

http://cdm.unfccc.int/Projects/DB/DNV-CUK1275563099.31/view

4. The latest grid emission factors for the same methodology have been taken from CEA CO2 database version 8 for year wise grid EF

available at http://www.cea.nic.in/reports/planning/cdm_co2/database_8.zip

The grid emission factors considered to calculate baseline emissions for the solar water heater project are: 0.78 tCO2/MWh for

NWENE and 0.76 tCO2/MWh for Southern Grid.

5. As per the CDM methodology, yearly emission reduction from use of a 100 LPD SWH is 0.68MT CO 2e for the installations

covered under NEWNE Grid and 0.66 MT CO2e for installations covered under Southern Grid. The methodology takes into

consideration only the sunlight days thereby addressing the days when electric geysers/stoves are used for heating water

during cold mornings

6. The formulae used for calculations of emission reduction from the SWH installation being registered under this initiative

are:

For installations under NEWNE G

24

Emission Reduction SWH = C/100*0.68*n

Where C=Capacity of SWH, n=Number of working years

7. Proper care has been taken to exclude any invalid or duplicate entries

It is assumed that the earlier mode of obtaining hot water is Electric Geyser in all the cases.

Other Emission reduction activities

Apart from Solar Water Heater Initiative by which RCB had claimed the reductions, there were a number of other activities/Green

initiatives which were taken up by RCB to reduce the emissions during the complete IPL Season 5. These activities were started in

January 2012 and were continued up to the month of June 2012.

Description of the other activities is given below:

Buses for Fans

Traveling to and fro the stadium during a cricket match always creates many issues for everyone-fans, police, players, event

managers, local community and most important-the environment. One of the major causes of these problems is that fans travel to

the stadium in their own vehicles. This is more prevalent during night matches as late night transport is risky and costly and fans try

and avoid it as much as possible. Fan commute is the single largest component of the footprint of a cricket match.

In order to mitigate all these problems, RCB had come up with a unique concept of bus pooling for fans to and fro the stadium for

IPL 2011 which was carried forward to IPL 2012 as well. Bus pooling involved running approximately 30 BIG 10 buses every match

day. Big 10 bus facility is provided by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) where the buses cover straight long

25

routes within the Bangalore city. These buses plied from different parts of the city to the stadium and back. These buses were

dedicated solely for IPL matches. The buses had standard fares and plied both for day and night matches. BMTC was very helpful in

providing their unique BIG10 bus service which covers the expanse of the city very well.

Apart from this, RCB supported the BUS day initiative of BMTC that is taken up every month in the first week of the month. RCB

publicized the Bus Days from the month of Jan to May rigorously on its website and social media web pages to ensure maximum

participation by the people of Bangalore. It also carried out contests on social networking sites to create awareness about the Bus

Day and use of Public Transport. The winners of one such contest were awarded with RCB merchandise. The awards were

distributed on the Bus Day of the April month which saw one of the RCB celebrity ambassadors travelling in the public bus to support

the initiative.

Waste Management in the Stadium

IPL matches generate tons of organic and inorganic waste. If not segregated and disposed in the right manner, the waste can have a

very large environmental impact. Until IPL 2011, the existing waste disposal practices at Chinnaswamy stadium involved sending all

the waste generated to landfills. This mechanism of waste disposal was not environment friendly.

To ensure that the waste generated results in minimum environmental impact, RCB initiated an ambitious waste management

program at the Chinnaswamy stadium in IPL 2011. The goal was to segregate the wet and dry waste, recycle the dry waste and send

the wet waste for composting.

To achieve the target it was essential to involve the fans in the process to ensure maximum primary segregation. Awareness posters

and videos were showcased at prominent locations across the stadium. The number of dustbins was quadrupled. Separate bins with

distinct colour coding were used for wet and dry waste. A scientific assessment of the locations of various food stalls, fan entry and

26

exit points was done and the bins were placed at strategic locations across the stadium. The same approach was taken up for IPL

2012 as well and the results are here to show.

The efforts have paid off and the primary segregation of wet and dry waste has improved considerably. The best part is that this

improvement in segregation was done by the fans themselves. This helped us reinstate an important point that if provided with

systems, processes work and fans respond.

RCB is indeed proud to have environmentally conscious and responsive fans. Post the primary segregation, RCB had a secondary

waste management stall setup behind the stadium. Waste from across the stadium was taken to this secondary waste management

setup. Women labour was employed to do secondary sorting of this waste. The dry waste was sent for recycling and the wet waste

was sent for composting. This also generated significant income for the women labour. The NGO Saahas helped RCB in the

secondary waste management. This not only helped reduce the environmental but also the aesthetics of the stadium.

Taxi Pooling

As discussed previously, traveling to and fro the stadium during match days creates lots of problems for different stakeholders. In

order to mitigate these issues, RCB initiated a unique taxi pooling service for IPL 2011. The fans were provided with a telephone

number on which they could call and book a taxi for the stadium. Continuing its good work this time as well, RCB tied up with a taxi

service provider for this initiative. To promote this initiative so that wider group of audience could use this service, RCB managed to

get concessional rates for this taxi rates. The rates were about 30% less than market rates. Also the taxis were much convenient than

personal transport as they dropped fans at the stadium gates and picked them up at these gates unlike personal cars which had to

be parked kilometers away.

27

This initiative was very well appreciated by the fans. It not only helped reduce emissions but also helped to reduce costs, save time

and reduce the traffic on the roads.

Saplings Plantation

RCB carried out a massive sapling plantation drive all over the state of Karnataka and distributed thousands of saplings of variety of

plants in schools, colleges, resident societies and individual people. Those saplings have been planted by the people and taken care

off. This initiative helped in creating a lot of awareness about environment amongst the people.

CFL Distribution

Along with saplings, RCB also carried out the compact Fluorescent light (CFL) distribution drives in colleges, resident societies and

corporate. The energy efficient CFLS of a highly reputed brand were distributed at a very subsidized prize offering a discount of

about 40% on the MRP. This initiative was taken up keeping in mind that all the CFLs distributed would help in reduced energy

consumption due to replacement of incandescent bulbs.

28

Procam TCS Bangalore 10k Run:

For the Procam TCS Bangalore 10K run, the calculations has been done in the same way as was done for the RCB Carbon Footprint.

The data required such as Lodging, Paper consumption, Employees & Fans Commute, Office Electricity consumption, Race & Expo

Electricity consumption have been given by Procam. The calculations were done as per the Guidelines. Due to the confidentiality of

the calculations, the procedure for the calculations cannot be given.

Godrej & Boyce Workshop: Carbon Mitigation Planning

Carbon Footprint Mitigation is reducing or nullifying the carbon emission emitted in the operations with projects that result in

Carbon reduction or sequestration. Mitigation involves human intervention to reduce GHG Emissions by sources or by enhance

removal from atmosphere through sinks. A Sink refers to Forest, Vegetation or Soil that absorbs CO2. Reduction through sources

involves projects on energy efficiency, low carbon energy usage & optimizing operations & processes to reduce CO2.

Why Is Mitigation Important

Mitigation Planning is Important to:

Understand the emission hotspots

Define emission reduction targets

Prepare a step by step strategy towards achieving the targets

Define a structured & Planned process for implementing the reduction activities & sequestration projects

Meet targets with ease.
