GHG Calculation Tools

Summary:

A set of spreadsheets that implement cross-sector and sector-specific calculations of GHG emissions

Description:

A number of cross-sector and sector-specific calculation tools are available on the GHG Protocol Initiative website, including a guide for small office-based organizations. These tools provide step-by-step guidance and electronic worksheets to help users calculate GHG emissions from specific sources or industries. The tools are consistent with those proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ‘(IPCC)’for compilation of emissions at the national level ‘(IPCC, 1996)’. They have been refined to be user-friendly for non-technical company staff and to increase the accuracy of emissions data at a company level. Thanks to help from many companies, organizations, and individual experts through an intensive review of the tools, they are believed to represent current best practice.
