It has been specially adapted to the company structure of wpd GmbH. Among other things, this requires individual emission factors to be stored for each of the countries in which wpd GmbH operates to ensure that no averages are included in the calculation. This enables a reliable, realistic result to be obtained. The calculator is naturally based on international standards and norms (Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064-1). The standardised CO<sub>2<\/sub> accounting system was developed as part of the National Climate Protection Initiative of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety and certified by T\u00dcV Nord CERT. weiss a:3:{s:5:&#8221;title&#8221;;s:0:&#8221;&#8221;;s:3:&#8221;url&#8221;;s:48:&#8221;https:\/\/klimaktiv.de\/klimaktiv-register\/wpd-gmbh&#8221;;s:6:&#8221;target&#8221;;s:6:&#8221;_blank&#8221;;}  Learn more 1956 zweidritteltext rechts   0     0 kein_schmuck 0 bild_links 1930  Climate protection projects In collaboration with the German non-profit organisation\u00a0<em>atmosfair<\/em>, wpd supports the construction and operation of small biogas plants in Nepal.
