HOW CAN I MANAGE MY CO 2 EMISSIONS? Trends in data submitted to the CCC initiative show how improvements in input efficiencies can result in a significant reduction in carbon emissions. As shown below, on an individual farm basis, improving efficiency of electricity usage per hectare can subsequently reduce the carbon emissions per hectare. nds in data submitted to the CCC initiative show how improvements in input efficiencies can result in gnificant reduction in carbon emissions.

Howcan I manage myCO 2 emissions? representing combined data from the eight-year seasonal period of 2011-2019. In line with the leading international carbon footprinting protocol of PAS 2050-1:2012, a three-year period is required to reflect seasonal and production variances. The data range now covers the required three-year period, and therefore accounts for seasonal and production variances. However, the data range of the sample is not yet representative of the industry at large. Due to this consideration, the results should NOT be distributed on behalf of or represe ting the South African wine grape industry. It is aimed to be used as an internal evaluation exercise for those South African producers and exporters wanting to compare their carbon footprint results with the CCC regional sample group averages.
