In an era marked by growing concerns about climate change and its global impacts, the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory has emerged as a critical tool for understanding, tracking and mitigating the drivers of environmental change.

GHGs such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) play a significant role in Earth's climate system, trapping heat and contributing to the greenhouse effect. Monitoring and managing GHG inventories have become essential strategies for governments, organizations and individuals striving to reduce emissions and minimize their carbon footprint.

What is the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory?

The GHG inventory is a collection of data from all company operations to quantify the release of each gas into the atmosphere. This inventory can cover 3 scopes, the first of which is mandatory for preparing the report:

SCOPE 1: These are emissions released into the atmosphere as a direct result of the company's own operations.
SCOPE 2: Considers all greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere from the consumption of electricity, steam, heat and refrigeration.
SCOPE 3: These are all indirect emissions that occur in the company's value chain, such as purchased raw materials, business trips and employee travel, waste disposal, transportation and distribution.

Benefits and applications

The GHG inventory is the basis for an organization to understand its carbon footprint, identify critical emissions points and implement strategies to reduce emissions. With analysis and management work, they can also monitor the progress of their actions and ensure compliance with their emissions reduction commitments.
