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.
