Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Assessment & Verification

What is a Greenhouse Gas Inventory?

A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory is a systematic quantification and documentation of greenhouse gas emissions generated from an organization’s activities, operations, facilities, and processes. The inventory provides a comprehensive record of emission sources and greenhouse gas emissions within a defined reporting boundary.

GHG Inventory Assessment & Verification involves the review, evaluation, calculation verification, and validation of greenhouse gas emission data to ensure accuracy, consistency, completeness, and transparency of reported information.

Scope of Greenhouse Gas Inventory Assessment & Verification

GHG Inventory Assessment & Verification services are applicable to:

  • Manufacturing Facilities
  • Textile and Garment Industries
  • Industrial Processing Plants
  • Commercial Buildings
  • Warehousing and Logistics Operations
  • Energy and Utility Facilities
  • Food Processing Plants
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Units
  • Service Organizations
  • Public and Private Sector Entities

The assessment may cover direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions generated from organizational activities and operational processes.

Objectives of Greenhouse Gas Inventory Assessment & Verification

The objectives of GHG Inventory Assessment & Verification are to:

  • Evaluate greenhouse gas emission data
  • Verify the accuracy and completeness of emission inventories
  • Assess greenhouse gas calculation methodologies
  • Review emission sources and reporting boundaries
  • Improve transparency and credibility of reported information
  • Support environmental and sustainability reporting
  • Enhance confidence in greenhouse gas disclosures
  • Promote reliable emissions monitoring and reporting practices

Key Assessment Areas

Scope 1 Emissions

Assessment of direct greenhouse gas emissions from owned or controlled sources, including fuel combustion, industrial processes, and company-operated equipment.

Scope 2 Emissions

Evaluation of indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling consumed by the organization.

Scope 3 Emissions

Assessment of applicable indirect emissions occurring throughout the value chain, where included within the reporting scope.

Emission Source Identification

Review of emission sources, operational boundaries, and inventory categorization.

Activity Data Verification

Assessment of activity data, consumption records, operational information, and supporting documentation.

Emission Calculations

Review and verification of greenhouse gas emission calculations, methodologies, and applied emission factors.

Documentation and Records

Evaluation of records, reports, monitoring data, and supporting evidence used to prepare the inventory.

Assessment & Verification Process

1. Inventory Review

The greenhouse gas inventory and supporting documentation are reviewed.

2. Data Collection Assessment

Activity data, operational records, and emission-related information are evaluated.

3. Methodology Review

Calculation methods, assumptions, reporting boundaries, and emission factors are assessed.

4. Verification Activities

Verification procedures are conducted to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of reported emissions data.

5. Findings Evaluation

Assessment findings are reviewed and documented in accordance with applicable verification requirements.

6. Verification Report Issuance

A detailed assessment and verification report is issued outlining findings, observations, and verification conclusions.
