Cheminfo Services offers a range
of environmental services to federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
Chemical Hazard
Assessment - The body of scientific literature and data characterizing
the hazardous nature of chemicals is extensive and continues to grow. Our
studies involve environmental emergency planning, toxicity screening,
prioritization, exposure analysis, and health risk assessments.
Pollutant Release
Inventories Preparation - Cheminfo develops historical, current, and future
release inventories at the facility, sectoral, regional, provincial, and
national levels. We also improve or extend inventories to be more
representative and useful.
Verification Services -
Cheminfo provides recognized verification and peer review services for
registered greenhouse gas emission reduction projects. We also have the
expertise to audit emission baselines, current performance, and reductions
achieved.
Technology Assessments - Our
engineering capabilities support our abilities in conducting detailed technical
assessments of pollution prevention practices and release reduction
technologies. We also apply our marketing expertise and research skills to
assess uptake or penetration potential.
Costing and Economic
Impacts Analysis - Improving environmental performance can involve
capital and operating costs as well as savings. We develop direct cost
estimates as well as work out the financial and competitiveness implications of
reducing pollutant releases.
Management Options
Analysis - Cheminfo is familiar with the range of government policy
options available to address environmental issues. By applying evaluation
criteria, we can identify the best economic instruments, codes, guidelines, and
regulations. We also craft best practices manuals, guidelines, codes, and
performance standards.
Benchmarking,
Performance Assessments - Sound environmental management requires assessing
policy and program performance. We conduct studies involving facility and
sectoral benchmarking, energy efficiency, intensity, and trends analysis.
Municipal Development
and Growth - We also help municipalities and their economic
development departments to attracting new business investment, and formulating
sound strategies for sustainable growth. Our focus here is clearly on
attracting businesses in our areas of expertise (environment, energy,
transportation, chemicals and plastics, and heavy industry). In these studies
we couple our knowledge of sectors and their growth segments with local
attributes.
