do you know how to obtain this information?
Calculating the full emissions for a company is a big task, and we know that developing a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory can present challenges.
Our ISO-qualified emissions team have developed two handbooks to help you manage this - and ensure you establish robust processes - enabling improvement in accuracy, and ease of reporting your company's emissions over time.

which handbook do I need?
The quick-start guide to developing a GHG inventory is ideal to get an initial idea of the principles of emissions accounting and the key steps needed to build and manage a robust GHG inventory that is aligned with international GHG accounting standards.
The detailed Greenhouse Gas Inventory Handbook has a lot more detail on each of the key elements of a GHG inventory along with tips, pitfalls to avoid, plus examples of different types of data and their levels of accuracy with recommendations on how to improve data collection over time to ultimately improve the accuracy of your company's emissions reporting.
do I still need to refer to the ISO 14064 or GHG Protocol standards documents?
In a word, yes!
We didn't set out to replicate the full contents of these documents, but wanted to provide some additional explanation and examples specific to companies in the oil and gas sector which often have complex asset structures and operational activities.
We have included a bibliography in each of the handbooks to make it easier for you to see which documents you need to use to ensure your company's GHG inventory fully aligns with all the requirements.
