Climate change can be limited through solid and sustained reductions in GHG emissions. The advances
in climate science, innovation, and climate-friendly regulation can provide invaluable tools in the fight
against global rising temperatures.
Utilizing the GHG Protocol establishes a comprehensive global standardized framework for measuring
and managing GHG emissions from private & public sector operations and value chains. The protocol is
necessary for consistent emissions reporting and for their effective management.
The GHG protocol clarifies that renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, do not have GHG emissions associated with their generation. GHG like CH4, N2O, and fugitive refrigerant gases have different
GWP factors and are expressed in CO2 equivalents.
By calculating the GHG emissions, companies better understand which of their processes produces the
largest carbon footprint, and then they can try to reduce it effectively. Performing this process annually
also offers a historic overview and can contribute to setting more robust environmental and climate
strategies.
