Climate change has become one of the major challenges for mankind and the natural environment. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released into the atmosphere in ever rapidly growing volumes are recognised to be responsible for this change. Carbon footprint quantification, analysis and reduction are key to preventing this, for example, by enhancing energy efficiency, mitigating carbon emissions by means of green energy and then compensating for remaining GHG emissions by investing in carbon offsets, with a final goal to becoming carbon neutral.
PE’s first-class consulting, IT solutions and databases serve to determine, analyse and reduce both product carbon footprints and corporate carbon footprints.
For 18 years, PE INTERNATIONAL has been the premier provider of sustainability management consulting, CSR, life cycle assessments and carbon footprints. Hundreds of projects have been successfully delivered, thousands of software licenses have been sold.

Analysis of Dioxins and PCBs
It is to be taken from current press reports that Japan and Korea imposed an import stop for Buffalo Mozzarella from Campania (Italy).
Italian investigators had proven the high-poisonous dioxin in the milk of buffalos, which is used for the production of the cheese.
A multiplicity of producers and breed enterprises is concerned.
Over the entry path there are so far only assumptions.
Present the European Union examines the further proceeding.
Eurofins | GfA has more than 20 years experience in the analysis of Dioxins and PCBs including highly toxic co-PCBs in food and feed matrices (e.g. milk, cheese).
Eurofins | GfA is DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited for the analysis of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in food, feed, environmental samples and many other matrices.
Our analytical procedures and QA are in compliance with the requirements for the HRGC/HRMS analysis of food and feed for PCDD/Fs and PCBs as laid down in the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1883/2006 and EC-Directive 2002/70/EC.
Running 10 High resolution mass-spectrometers exclusively for PCDD/F and PCB analyses guarantees high capacities and short turn-around times.

Marshall Miller & Associates
Marshall Miller & Associates (MM&A) has recently been approved by the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) a qualified, independent verifier for carbon credits related to coal mine methane (CMM) and Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) projects. CCX is the world's first legally binding rules-based greenhouse gas emissions trading system. Basically, carbon credits can be earned (and traded on the exchange) for documented reductions in methane emissions occurring during the mining process if the gas that would have otherwise been emitted to the atmosphere is rather (1) sold as high quality gas on natural gas pipeline system or (2) is used as mid-quality gas in electricity generation.
In order to qualify for the carbon credits, the methane extraction technique must first be approved for use by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and meet the following eligibility requirements:
Pre-Mining Activities
* CMM collected from wells drilled after January 1, 1999, and mined around or through after January 1, 2003, can be registered and traded on the CCX up to the sales limits sets for years 2003-2006 (Phase I reporting).
* CMM collected from wells drilled after January 1, 1999, and mined around or through after January 1, 2007 (Phase II reporting) and traded on the CCX.
Post-Mining Activities
* CMM from any well drilled at any time, collected after January 1, 2003, which is processed/refined through a low quality gas facility, constructed after January 1, 1999, or utilized in a low quality combustion process, constructed after January 1, 1999, can be registered and traded on the CCX up to the sales limits set for years 2003-2006 (Phase I reporting).
* CMM from any well drilled at any time, collected after January 1, 2007 (Phase II reporting), which is processed/refined through a low quality gas facility, constructed after January 1, 1999, or utilized in a low quality combustion process, constructed after January 1, 1999, can be registered and traded on the CCX.

High-Accuracy CO2
Insensitive to all other atmospheric gases, the High-Accuracy CO2 Analyzer measures carbon dioxide in dry ambient air with unprecedented accuracy and precision (total measurement uncertainty of less than 1 part in 3000). The instrument can store data practically indefinitely on its internal hard disk drive and can send real-time data to a data logger through its analog, digital (RS232), and Ethernet outputs allowing unattended long-term standalone operation.
Based on high-resolution direct-absorption spectroscopy (see Theory of Operation), the instrument offers negligible zero and span drift and a significantly reduced need for regular calibration with expensive reference gases (compared with conventional instruments). The High-Accuracy CO2 Analyzer is designed for applications that require the performance of a reference laboratory without the need for regular calibration with expensive gas standards.
