The Basics of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories Mary Sotos World Resources Institute VEPGA Annual Meeting April 23, 2010

Why GHG Inventories? - Climate impact - Demonstrate leadership - Gain expertise for policy-making - Prepare for the future

Why WRI? - Internationally-accepted standards - Mission is to provide standards, tools, resources - Partnerships with other programs - New Public Sector Protocol

Definition Quantified amount of gases released as part of your operations as an organization for a specific time period –Six Kyoto gases: CO2, CH4, N2O, PFC, HFC, SF6 –Direct and Indirect Largely extension of energy use –Define your entity –Categorize emissions

Collect Data Calculate emissions Develop Assign resources Design GHG inventory Plan Set Target Reduce Emissions Manage Report Results

Organizational Inventories Company/ Agency/Department Geographic Inventories Nation/ State/County/City -Top-Down - Broad policies - Aligns with point-source regulation - Bottom-up - Apply “consolidation approach” - Indirect emissions

Financial Control - Balance sheet? - Set financial policies? Operational Control - Operating license? - Set operating policies? Organizational Boundaries

Categorize emissions DIRECT –Scope 1: Fuel combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions (HVAC) INDIRECT –Scope 2: Purchased electricity, heat/steam/cooling –Scope 3: All other indirect emissions upstream/ downstream

Data Sources Scope 1: Fuel records, purchase invoices, vehicle mileage Scope 2: Utility bills Scope 3: Employee commuting & business travel miles Industry association information Procurement
