Hand tools and power tools are used on jobsites and in production facilities to measure, cut, fasten, and form materials. Hand tools include clamps, cutting tools, measuring tools, hammers, screwdrivers, and wrenches. They provide precise control and are used for tasks where power tools are cumbersome or where high amounts of force are not required. Power tools include cordless, corded, hydraulic, and air-powered drills, drivers, impact wrenches, saws, and finishing tools. They are used for tasks that are repeated (such as driving nails in sheetrock) or where high force and speed are required. Measuring and layout tools ensure workpieces are cut to the correct length and angle. Sockets and bits are used with wrenches, screwdrivers, and drills to create holes and drive fasteners. Tool tethers, balancers, and retractors secure tools to keep them close at hand when needed and help prevent injuries caused by dropped tools. Tool storage keeps tools secure and organized for quick access.
Below is a complete listing of all tools developed by GHG Protocol. Our tools enable companies to develop comprehensive and reliable inventories of their GHG emissions. Each tool reflects best-practice methods that have been extensively tested by industry experts. Many tools are accompanied by a PDF guidance document, which provides step-by-step guidance on the use of a tool and should be consulted first. Most companies will need to apply more than one tool to cover their emissions.
These tools are applicable to many industries and businesses regardless of sector.
Note: International emission factors for electricity use are no longer available from the GHGP website and can be purchased from the IEA.
The RAC tool calculates the HFC and PFC emissions from the manufacture, servicing, and/or disposal of RAC equipment. The tool offers three methods: A sales based approach for manufacturers and users; a life cycle stage approach for users; and a basic screening approach that is intended to help companies gauge whether or not their emissions merit the use of one of the other, more advanced methods.
The Adipic acid tool allows the N2O emissions from adipic acid production to be estimated. It requires data on the amount of adipic acid produced. The tool also calculates any emissions reductions associated with the use of emissions control technologies.
The Iron and Steel tool provides two different methods for calculating CO2 emissions. One method requires data on the quantities of reducing agents and blast furnace additives used, as well as the quantities of the carbonate fluxes introduced into the furnace. The alternative method requires data on the amount of iron or steel produced, as well as of the carbonate fluxes. The emissions calculation from either method can be adjusted to account for the export of carbon-bearing byproducts.
The Nitric acid tool allows the N2O emissions from nitric acid production to be estimated. It requires data on the amount of nitric acid produced. The tool also calculates any emissions reductions associated with the use of emissions control technologies.
The Pulp and Paper tool offers a collection of tools that cover the emission sources typically associated with a pulp and paper plant. It is a joint product of the International Council of Forest and Paper Associations and the GHG Protocol.
The Semiconductor tool calculates the PFC emissions from semi-conductor wafer production. Required data include the quantities of gas that have been both consumed in wafer production and destroyed using abatement technologies, and the number of wafers produced by size.
The Alternative Fuels Data Center offers a large collection of helpful tools. These calculators, interactive maps, and data searches can assist fleets, fuel providers, and other transportation decision makers in their efforts to advance alternative fuels and energy-efficient vehicle technologies.
We've expanded our Tools and resources sections initially published on our homepage as a "frequently accessed tools and resources" drop down. This new format is now accessible from anywhere on the site
When I was an eggheaded teenager growing up in a sleepy Southern Baptist town, I lived for my little local library. It was like a desert oasis to me and I spent hours in it, perusing the books and magazines, browsing the card catalog, and requesting strange and obscure books that made my librarian frown and twist her lip up funny.
Of the many features of the library, it was the card catalog that held a unique fascination for me. Being a budding information junkie, the card catalog seemed almost magical, my gateway to all sorts of exotic ideas and adventures, buried amongst the mundane, waiting to be unearthed by the eager flicks of my fingertips. I loved everything about the card catalog: the thick oak cabinet with numerous tiny drawers that slid out easily with their heavy loads of often crammed-tight 35 cards. The knurled brass knob and rod that held the card stacks in the drawers. The cards themselves, sometimes neatly and perfectly typed out, other times, hand-written or heavily annotated, struck through, and carefully painted with white-out. Some cards seemed to have acquired plots and stories of their own. I can even remember the satisfying thunk the drawers would make when you pushed them back in. And the smell! The thought of that smell is a like a Proustian moment that easily invokes this part of my childhood.
From British Columbia, land of heavy-duty mountain bike riders and downhill skaters, come these downhill racing boards. The drop-down decks give you a lower center of gravity and great stability at high speeds. Being closer to the ground makes it easier for skaters to get a padded glove on the ground for sliding (to slow down).
When I first started backpacking in the early 1990s, Southeast Asia was full of idyllic spots with small crowds that only backpackers in the know seemed to visit. Many of these are overtourism poster children now, like Ubud, Ko Phi Phi, and Hoi An, but somehow Lake Toba on Sumatra is as chilled out as ever. See the recent report from James at Nomadic Notes here.
