International Workshop on GHG Protocol Based Programs Accounting & Quantification CII – Godrej GBC, Hyderabad

© Confederation of Indian Industry CII’s Experience with GHG Protocol  India GHG Program Corporate GHG Accounting & Reporting standard  GHG Emission Inventorization in Indian industry Facilitating Inventorization in several sectors  Cement, Power, Engineering, Chemical industries  24 Facilities, 35 Million T of GHG inventorized Capacity building programs

© Confederation of Indian Industry Methodologies  GHG Protocol methodologies adopted No issues faced / foreseen  Several other Indian companies GHG emission Inventorization through internal efforts Methodologies understood clearly  Overall approach & action clearly defined

© Confederation of Indian Industry Emission Factors  Major area of concern Non-availability of country specific data  Coal  Logistics – Surface, rail, aviation & shipping Largely dependent on IPCC / other international emission factors  Requires significant effort in adopting right factors Wherever CII established emission factors  Large variation from IPCC values ~ 4-10%

© Confederation of Indian Industry Emission Factors  Not much efforts happening at Country level too Requires concerted efforts of several stakeholders Time, effort & resources strain  Major deterrent in scaling up GHG emission Inventorization activities in India  Need of the hour – to develop country specific emission factors

© Confederation of Indian Industry Organizational Boundary  Operational Control – widely adopted Several reasons  General management structure - Operational control  Most easily understood & adopted  General practice Start with facility level Inventorization Scale up to corporate level

© Confederation of Indian Industry GHG Protocol Tools  Excel based tools Require deep understanding before use  Not very user friendly Wherever CII has facilitated Inventorization  Tool not adopted ipso facto  Need to develop user-friendly software tools Cross sector & sector specific

© Confederation of Indian Industry Scope 3 emissions  India GHG program insists on Scope 3 reporting too  Several discussions / deliberations while accounting Present accounting largely based on individuals interpretation  Significant opportunity to standardize broad based approach

© Confederation of Indian Industry To sum up  GHG Protocol being widely adopted in India  Actions needed Need to develop country specific emission factors Develop user-friendly GHG Protocol tools  Cross sector & sector specific Standardization of Scope 3 emissions  Raw material & finished good Logistics – where to stop?
