DECARBONISATION THROUGH ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: THE APPLICATION OF AEMAS EMGS and ISO50001

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This training course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills to apply Energy Management Systems (EnMS) as a key decarbonisation strategy, aligned with AEMAS Energy Management Gold Standard (EMGS) and ISO 50001. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

1.  Understand Decarbonisation through Energy Management Systems (EnMS):

Provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how EnMS supports organisational decarbonisation goals, including the principles, structure, and performance-based approach of AEMAS EMGS and ISO 50001 in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

2.  Apply AEMAS EMGS and ISO 50001 Frameworks Effectively:

Equip participants with the knowledge to interpret and apply the requirements, guidelines, and certification pathways of AEMAS EMGS and ISO 50001, including policy development, energy planning, performance indicators, and management review.

3.  Develop Practical Energy and Carbon Reduction Strategies:

Enable and guide participants to identify, plan, and implement actionable energy efficiency and decarbonisation initiatives using EnMS tools, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement practices that align with organisational sustainability and ESG objectives.

COURSE OUTLINE

1.  Overview of Decarbonisation and Energy Management Systems (EnMS)

Introduction to global and national decarbonisation drivers, the role of energy management in carbon reduction, and the evolution of EnMS as a strategic tool. This module establishes the link between energy performance improvement, emissions reduction, and organisational sustainability goals.

2.    Introduction to AEMAS EMGS and ISO 50001 Frameworks

Overview of AEMAS Energy Management Gold Standard (EMGS) and ISO 50001, including objectives, structure, scope, and certification pathways. Participants will understand the similarities, differences, and complementary use of both frameworks.

3.  Energy Policy, Leadership Commitment, and Governance

Explanation of top management roles, leadership commitment, and governance structures required under AEMAS EMGS and ISO 50001. This module covers energy policy development, roles and responsibilities, and integration with corporate strategies.

4.  Energy Review, Baseline, and Performance Indicators

Detailed guidance on conducting energy reviews, establishing energy baselines, identifying significant energy uses, and developing Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs). Participants will learn how data supports effective energy and carbon management.

5.  Energy Planning and Decarbonisation Action Plans

Practical approach to setting energy objectives, targets, and action plans that drive measurable energy savings and emissions reduction. This module links energy efficiency measures to carbon impact and business value.

6.  Implementation, Monitoring, and Operational Control

Application of operational controls, monitoring systems, measurement, and verification methods to ensure effective implementation of EnMS. Participants will learn how to track performance and sustain improvements.

7.  Performance Evaluation, Audit, and Management Review

Overview of internal audit requirements, compliance evaluation, and management review processes under AEMAS EMGS and ISO 50001 to ensure continual improvement and system effectiveness.

8.  Integrating EnMS with ESG and Sustainability Reporting

Alignment of EnMS outcomes with ESG frameworks, sustainability reporting, and corporate decarbonisation roadmaps. Case examples illustrate how organisations leverage EnMS for long-term carbon reduction.
