Abstract

Podjetja bodo morala v trajnostni družbi izkazovati ustrezne nefinančne kazalnike poslovanja, med katerimi je tudi ogljični odtis. Obstoječa metodologija izračuna je določena z GHG Protokolom in upošteva neposredne in posredne emisije toplogrednih plinov, ki jih razdeli v tri obsege. V magistrski nalogi je izračunan ogljični odtis podjetja, ki posluje v mednarodnem prostoru v sektorju energetskega pogodbeništva in investira v energetske rešitve. Posebna pozornost je namenjena načinu določevanja posrednih emisij v obsegu 3, kjer je v praksi še veliko neznank. Izkaže se, da emisije v obsegu 1 in 2 predstavljajo manjši delež emisij podjetja. Kljub temu jih je potrebno naslavljati, saj ima podjetje na njih velik vpliv. Največ emisij v obsegu 1 in 2 prihaja iz uporabe službenih vozil. V obsegu 3 je kritična aktivnost financiranje energetskih projektov, saj ti tekom življenjske dobe porabljajo veliko energentov in s tem bistveno prispevajo k ogljičnemu odtisu. Dodatno smo postavili matematični model za napovedovanje emisij toplogrednih plinov za aktivnosti investicij v okviru obsega 3. Izkaže se, da na ogljični odtis ključno vplivajo emisijski faktorji energentov, ki se razlikujejo po državah. V nekaterih državah so lahko z vidika ogljičnega odtisa, investicije v tehnologije, ki porabljajo električno energijo bolj obremenjujoče kot alternativne investicije v tehnologije, ki porabljajo fosilna goriva.

Secondary title:	Determining the carbon footprint of doing business in energy contracting
Secondary abstract:	In a sustainable society, companies will have to disclose appropriate non-financial performance indicators, including the carbon footprint. The existing calculation methodology is determined by the GHG Protocol which considers direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, dividing them into three scopes. In the master's thesis, the carbon footprint is calculated for a company with international operations that operates in the sector of energy contracting and invests in energy solutions. The focus is on evaluating indirect scope 3 emissions as there are still many unknowns in the calculation. It turns out that the emissions in scopes 1 and 2 represent a smaller share of the company's emissions. Nevertheless, it is necessary to address those emissions, as the company has a great influence on them. Most emissions in scopes 1 and 2 come from the use of company vehicles. In scope 3, the financing of energy projects was identified as a critical activity, as these projects consume a lot of energy during their lifetime and thus significantly contribute to the carbon footprint. Additionally, we have set up a mathematical model for forecasting greenhouse gas emissions for investment activities within scope 3. It shows that the carbon footprint is heavily influenced by the emission factors of energy sources, which differ from country to country. In some countries, from a carbon footprint perspective, investments in technologies that consume electricity can be more burdensome than alternative investments in technologies that consume fossil fuels.
