GERMANY - Wiesenhof has drawn up its first certified carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions balance sheet. The production of one kilogram of chicken meat equates to 3.2 kg of carbon dioxide in the Wiesenhof budget.

The first company in the poultry branch to do so, the PHW Group has calculated the greenhouse gas emissions caused during the production of chicken meat for its Wiesenhof brand and had them certified. This product-specific carbon footprint (PCF) represents the greenhouse gas emissions, which are caused directly and indirectly by a specific product.

The Competent Authorities responsible for monitoring and administering most of the aviation CO2 emissions to be covered by the EU Emissions Trading Scheme say that all the larger aircraft operators under their administration have now submitted monitoring plans. The UK reports that operators responsible for 98% of the total CO2 emissions produced by aircraft operators attributed by the European Commission to the UK for regulation have now complied with the scheme and submitted plans to the Environment Agency, with Germany reporting a 97% compliance. However, many hundreds – possibly thousands – of smaller operators on the Commission’s list remain unaccounted for or who have not submitted plans.
