GHG Protocol Revision Interim Report: How will Scope 3, renewable energy procurement, and avoided emissions change?
ResourcesThe GHG Protocol has served as the basis for global greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and disclosure since its first edition was published in 2001. The first major revision in about 20 years is currently underway, scheduled to begin in 2024, and discussions are currently at the halfway point.
In light of accounting practices, the spread of renewable energy technologies, and consistency with various decarbonization initiatives, this revision may result in significant changes to renewable energy procurement through non-fossil certificates, J-Credits, direct power purchases (PPAs), the scope and data accuracy of Scope 3 accounting, and the treatment of avoided emissions beyond a company's own emissions.
In this downloadable document, Director Machiba of Zeroboard Research Institute, who is directly involved in the revision discussions as a member of the Technical Working Group (TWG), provides a brief explanation of the background to the revision, the main points of discussion, and its impact on corporate practice. -
