Greenhouse Gas Inventories
A greenhouse-gas inventory is the foundation of any credible climate strategy. TerraCO helps organizations quantify emissions and document how the numbers were produced.
Approach
From activity data to a defensible number
Each inventory is scoped to the organization's structure, data availability and reporting needs.
- 01
Scoping
Define organizational and operational boundaries and the reporting period.
- 02
Data collection
Identify available activity data and the gaps that need to be closed.
- 03
Quantification
Apply appropriate recognized accounting approaches and emission factors.
- 04
Review
Document assumptions, limitations and data quality alongside the results.
- 05
Reporting
Present results in a form the organization can use internally and externally.
- 06
Next steps
Translate the inventory into reduction priorities and residual-emissions options.
Inventories can be designed to support organizations working with relevant reporting frameworks where factually appropriate. TerraCO holds no certification or accreditation claim in relation to any framework.
Results depend on the completeness and accuracy of the activity data an organization can provide. Limitations are documented rather than smoothed over.
