Greenhouse gas accounting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greenhouse gas accounting describes the way to inventory emissions and removals (i.e., from sinks) any kind of greenhouse gases (GHG).
Guidance is for accounting for GHG emissions from organizations and emission reduction projects is provided by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) GHG Protocol. For national GHG inventories, guidance is provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's methodology reports.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) also provides some general standards for
- green house gas emissions at organisation level (ISO 14064 - 1) and
- green house gas emissions at project level (ISO 14064 - 2).
Specifications to validate and verify relevant accountings are documented in (ISO 14064 - 3).
