ABV Development carries out CO2 audits and carbon footprint calculations for your activities or projects. These audits and footprint calculations are based on ISO 14069 approved and recognised reference tools that enable you to take stock of your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and find ways of reducing them.
ABV Development can also quantify the CO2 emissions linked to one of a firm’s processes or to the specific production of a good or service.
Every CO2 emission has a cost (budgetary, environmental, etc.). Cut it!
ABV Development carries out an environmental impact assessment of an entity’s product or service focusing on the carbon impact, water discharge impact, waste generation impact and air emissions impact. Based on these results, ABV Development can help you create an environmental data sheet for your products and services aimed at end consumers.
There are two main sides to addressing climate change: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation involves addressing the causes of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Adaptation involves dealing with the inevitable consequences of climate change and trying to reduce the risks and increase resilience. Climate change is inevitable and it’s therefore essential that we adapt. Vulnerability & risk assessment is focused on the adaptation side and aims to integrate the consideration of climate adaptation into the project development cycle. ABV Development has specific experience in carrying out climate impact assessments (CIA) on large infrastructure projects (ERDF) and on major industrial projects. These climate impact assessments are based on existing European guidelines and involve a special method recognised by the European Commission (JASPERS).

Zin is a multi-functional project of approximately 113,000 m², including offices, housing, sports and leisure areas and shops. In 2018 Befimmo submitted a permit application for the ZIN project and the redevelopment of the current WTC1 and 2 site in Brussels.

Climate impact study for the extension of La Réunion Roland-Garros Airport (ARRG)
As part of the extension and restructuring of the ARRG's infrastructures, ABV Development, in partnership with the consultancy firm ATRIA Environnement, carried out the climate change adaptation and mitigation study from the pre-feasibility phase to its implementation.
This EIC led to the assessment of the ARRG project's vulnerability to climate change.
The Salamandre project is a project financed by the Wallonia-Brussels federation on 2 test zones: 1 in Brussels (Anderlecht), the other in Wallonia (La Louvière).
The project aims to prove the usefulness of refinancing the State archives through their economic contribution to the management of soil pollution.
The archives hold a wealth of information that is not directly accessible for use by a non-historian. On the other hand, the technical information necessary for the management of polluted soils is difficult for historians to understand.
The first tests show very useful information on the origin of the contamination detected, the origins and destinations of historical fill lands, and underground buildings.
