Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting Elucidation
Greenhouse Gas Accounting (GHG Accounting) is a framework for measuring and tracking how much greenhouse gas an organization emits. Apart from that, the greenhouse gas inventory can also be used to measure and track a project or action to reduce emissions in sectors such as forestry, etc. GHG Accounting is also the basis used by organizations to develop future emission projections/baselines.
PT SUCOFINDO provides GHG Accounting services to identify, measure and record greenhouse gas emissions produced by various activities and natural activities to assist clients in carrying out GHG accounting in their organizations or projects to comply with the required standards.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting Service Scope
The GHG Accounting process involves collecting emissions data from various sources such as industry, transportation, agriculture, waste, and energy. Commonly used methods include direct measurements, model-based calculations, and estimation using predetermined emission factors. After the data is collected, calculations are carried out to estimate the amount of GHG emissions produced in certain units, such as tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e).
GHG Accounting is very important in efforts to reduce GHG emissions and overcome climate change. By understanding the sources and amounts of emissions produced, governments and organizations can identify the sectors that contribute most to climate change problems and develop appropriate mitigation strategies. Additionally, greenhouse gas inventories also help in monitoring progress in reducing GHG emissions over time.
