Course Description:

AS.425.641. Greenhouse Gas Inventory, Accounting, and Reporting.

A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory is a list of emission sources and the associated emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, etc.) quantified using standardized methods. Organizations develop GHG inventories for a variety of reasons, including the management of GHG risks and identification of reduction opportunities, participation in GHG programs or markets, and achieving recognition for early voluntary action. This course will focus on the different steps of the GHG emissions inventory and accounting development process: 1) developing the scope and plan inventory, 2) collecting data and quantifying GHG emissions, 3) developing a GHG inventory management plan, and 4) setting a GHG emission reduction target, tracking, and reporting progress. Students will apply the most widely used GHG accounting standards for organizational reporting, categorize GHGs into Scope 1, 2, and 3 based on the source, and develop an emission reduction plan for a specific case.
