This PAS specifies requirements for the management of whole life carbon in infrastructure – defined as the transport, energy, water, waste and communications, sectors – both in the provision of new infrastructure assets and programmes of work and the refurbishment of existing infrastructure.

The scope of the PAS is summarised in Table 1. 3

Table 1
The scope of PAS 2080

Because of the evidence included in the Infrastructure Carbon Review that reduced carbon infrastructure is related to reduced cost, PAS 2080 has been developed to:

  • Provide a specification for infrastructure carbon management which is compatible with international and sectoral norms, relevant existing standards and guidance, with the view of reducing whole life carbon in infrastructure delivery and;

  • Bringing consistency to the practice of carbon management;

  • Encouraging wider uptake and action on carbon management;

  • Helping the infrastructure value chain to become more efficient – to reduce carbon and cost in infrastructure delivery;

  • Improving the accuracy, transparency, consistency, relevance and completeness of carbon management and GHG emissions quantification;

  • Improving the knowledge and understanding of carbon management by infrastructure practitioners throughout the value chain; and

  • Supporting evidence-based decision making and identification of opportunities for carbon reduction.

Although asset owners/managers have the primary responsibility for delivering and managing infrastructure assets, all value chain members share responsibility for the management of the associated carbon emissions. Asset owners/managers can only realise the intended reductions within a fully integrated value chain involving designers, constructors and product/material suppliers.

To reflect this the PAS is applicable to all value chain members involved in the delivery of infrastructure, including asset owners/managers, designers, constructors and product/material suppliers. There are national and sectoral policies covering infrastructure carbon management, however these are mainly the responsibility of Governments and Regulators and are not in the PAS scope. Figure 3 illustrates the value chain members involved in infrastructure management for whom this PAS is applicable.

To help each value chain member to contribute effectively, the responsibilities set out in each clause of this PAS are arranged under the following headings:

  • Requirements for all value chain members;

  • Asset owner/manager requirements;

  • Designer requirements;

  • Constructor requirements; and

  • Product/material supplier requirements.

In order to successfully claim compliance with the requirements of this PAS, each value chain member is required to declare the role(s) they undertake (from the above list). They can then demonstrate conformity with the clauses under the “ requirements for all value chain members” heading and those under other headings pertaining to their role(s).

NOTE

All value chain members will be able to claim conformity with PAS 2080 as: PAS 2080 Asset Owner/Manager; PAS 2080 Designer; PAS 2080 Constructor; and PAS 2080 Product/Material Supplier (refer to Clause 12).

To achieve compliance, value chain members must be able to demonstrate relevant organizational capability appropriate to the point(s) of infrastructure delivery at which they are involved.

To maximise carbon and cost reduction, it is recognised that the asset owner/manager has primary responsibility for integrating the work of all value chain members under a common carbon management process that is specifically developed for delivering assets and programmes of work.

The PAS is targeted at both leaders and practitioner-level individuals who are responsible for the day-to-day aspects of infrastructure delivery and carbon management. Practitioner roles range from strategic planning, procurement, design to construction and operations.

NOTE

Further details on the specific practitioner-level roles in each value chain organization that are intended to implement PAS2080 are included in the “Guidance Document for PAS2080 ”.

This PAS includes requirements for developing a carbon management process built around the following components:

  1. Quantification of GHG emissions;

  2. Target setting, baseline setting and monitoring;

  3. Reporting; and

  4. Continual improvement.

Annex C includes reference to a range of external documents from which value chain members seeking to comply with PAS2080 will be able to select approaches and methodologies to assist them.
