Climate Change
The business playing field is changing. In response to global concerns about predicted changes in climate, international and national initiatives (including market mechanisms and regulations) are being adopted to minimise world greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The resultant price on carbon is both a business opportunity and a risk.

URS is a global leader in the provision of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions services, particularly for the oil and gas, power, chemicals, and mining industries.
We can assist you with:
  • Developing and implementing climate change response strategies to maximise opportunity and minimise risk. (Your strategy)

  • GHG Inventory development and reporting. (Your footprint)

  • Energy management and engineering solutions to reduce GHG emissions. (Your response)
In addition URS provides independent validation of emission inventories and project-based reductions. URS has conducted Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project feasibility studies and Project Design Document development under the Kyoto Protocol, as well as validation activities on several major international CDM projects for the oil and gas, power and mining sectors.
