Green Practices Guideline for Forest Operation

The scope for Energy in the Forest Operation sector includes four sub-indicators: Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Energy Management System, and Emission Reduction. SUB-INDICATOR REQUIREMENT OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE FOR ASSESSMENT EXAMPLE GREEN PRACTICES ENERGY EFFICIENCY Targeted percentage of electricity and fuel consumption reduction achieved by the organisation • Meter energy usage readings • Bills of quantities for fuels • Certificate of Analysis (COA) for fuels • Use a green electricity generator (Genset) for forest operation facilities. • Monitor energy consumption for billing purposes. • Utilise green technology and EV vehicles in forest operations. RENEWABLE ENERGY Targeted percentage of renewable energy used by the organisation • Meter energy usage readings • Bills of quantities for fuels • COA for fuels • Utilisation of renewable energy from process residues. • Application of waste-to-energy technologies. • Facilitate circular economy through resource sharing and fuel optimisation (especially when transporting materials to the project site). • Installation of solar panels for energy supply to reduce electricity consumption. ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Demonstration of an Energy Management System set up within the organisation Records supporting the setup, operation, and performance achieved by the Energy Management System • To establish policy or standard in the organisation which clearly indicates the green practice in the mission and vision statement. • Periodically report on energy usage as a monitoring tool. • Developing and implementing a systematic procedure for the energy management system. EMISSION REDUCTION Targeted percentage of emissions reduction achieved by the organisation GHG Inventory reports • Reduce energy use with renewable energy sources like solar panels, LED bulbs, and biofuel. • Decrease energy consumption intensity in forest operations. 41 GREEN PRACTICES GUIDELINE FOR FOREST OPERATION
