Greenhouse gas inventory tool

Greenhouse gas reduction toolkit

Description

(Greenhouse gas reduction toolkit) There are three primary steps in completing a GHG inventory:

  1. Define: The first step in completing a GHG inventory is to determine the boundaries and emissions sources included within those boundaries. After you have defined your organizational and operational boundaries and identified a baseline year, you can begin to collect data on the relevant emissions.
  2. Collect: The second step is to collect data for the defined annual period. This step is typically the most time consuming since the data can be difficult to gather. This Inventory tool has help sheets with suggestions and recommended resources for each emissions source.  
  3. Quantify: The third step is to calculate emissions. This tool helps the user gather the information, and either has a calculator built in or has recommended resources to utilize to calculate the emissions.
