1 Seminar: Carbon Footprint Analysis of Hotels in Hong Kong Funded by: Environment and Conservation Fund, HKSAR Study team: Joseph Lai, Francis Yik, Michael Liu Department of Building Services Engineering, PolyU 27 April 2012

2 INTRODUCTION

3 Purpose and Scope of the Study primarily an empirical study intended to: probe into the sources and levels of GHG emissions and removals from selected hotels in Hong Kong, analyse their carbon footprints in detail, and investigate into the factors and practices that can help mitigate GHG emissions or enhance their removals. 3

4 Purpose and Scope of the Study Based on the data of the hotels, analyses were carried out on the following areas of GHG emissions/removals for a reporting period of 12 months (or for a period as long as possible for which data can be provided): Direct emissions/removals due to: Stationary sources combustion Mobile sources combustion Fugitive emissions Assimulation of carbon dioxide into biomass through planting of trees 4

5 Purpose and Scope of the Study Energy indirect emissions due to: Consumption of purchased electricity Consumption of town gas Other indirect emissions due to: Methane gas generation at landfill due to disposal of paper waste Consumption of fresh water Treatment of waste water 5

13 Scope 1 Direct Emissions For calculating CO 2 emissions: Emission (CO 2 ) = Σ Amount of fuel consumed x Emission factor of CO 2 where Emission, in terms of tonnes of CO 2 -equivalent, is summed over all types of fuel used; Amount of fuel consumed is in terms of volume (e.g. litre) or mass (e.g. kg) for particular fuel; Emission Factor of CO 2 = Net Calorific Value of the Fuel x Carbon Factor of Fuel x Fraction of Carbon Oxidised x (44 / 12) 13

14 Scope 1 Direct Emissions For calculating CH 4 / N 2 O emissions: Emission (CH 4 / N 2 O) = Σ Amount of fuel consumed x Emission factor of (CH 4 / N 2 O) x Relative GWP where Emission, in terms of tonnes of CO 2 -equivalent, is summed over all types of fuel used; Amount of fuel consumed is in terms of volume (e.g. litre) or mass (e.g. kg) for particular fuel; Emission Factor of (CH 4 / N 2 O) = Net Calorific Value of the Fuel x Specific (CH 4 / N 2 O) Conversion Factor Relative GWP = Relative Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CH 4 / N 2 O 14

39 Scope 3 Other Indirect Emissions GHG emissions due to electricity used for fresh water supplies and sewage processing The indirect GHG emissions due to electricity used for processing fresh water by the Water Supplies Department (WSD) and that used for processing sewage by the Drainage Services Department (DSD) were calculated using the following equation: E = Amount of water consumed x (EF W + EF D ) where E: Emission due to electricity used for processing fresh water and sewage by the WSD and the DSD respectively EF W : Emission factor of GHG emissions due to electricity used for processing fresh water = Unit electricity consumption of fresh water (from WSD) x Territory-wide default value of purchased electricity (0.7kg / kwh) EF D : Emission factor of GHG emissions due to electricity used for processing sewage = Unit electricity consumption of processing sewage (from DSD) x Territory-wide default value of purchased electricity (0.7kg / kwh) 39

40 Scope 3 Other Indirect Emissions The steps taken for determining the emission factors: retrieval from the reports of WSD* and DSD** the relevant figures on power consumption and sewage flow; and multiplying the unit power consumption by the territory-wide default value of purchased electricity. * Source: WSD annual report 2009/10, WSD. ** Source: Environmental report 2010, DSD. The results obtained in this way are as plotted in the following graphs: 40

49 Scope 3 Other Indirect Emissions GHG emissions due to daily travel of the staff With reference to the Carbon audit toolkit for small and medium enterprises in Hong Kong, the GHG emission due to the daily travel of the staff (between their home and the hotel) can be calculated using the following equation: E C EF 2 CO e, trans = trans CO2 e, trans cost where C trans : Sum of cost for travelling EF CO2-e, trans cost : Emission factor of GHG emissions per dollar spent on transportation 49

50 Scope 3 Other Indirect Emissions Emission factors for transportations Transportation type (kg CO 2 -e / HK$) MTR Bus Mini bus (LPG) Tram Taxi Ferry

51 Scope 3 Other Indirect Emissions Staff travel survey form (i.e. Form B) were collected from the hotel. Based on the above emission factors where the daily travel data of the hotel s staff are summarized, the total daily travelling costs and the GHG emissions corresponding to the different types of transportations used by the staff were calculated: Total daily travelling cost ($) CO 2 -e emission (kg) Bus MTR Van Taxi Total: Total emission for a year due to daily travel of the staff = Total daily emission x number of working days per year* 51 * Working days per year = 365 (statutory holidays) (average number of annual leaves) (1 rest day per week)
