Guidance When figuring out the list of baseline candidates for a project, it’s not a straightforward process. It involves going through steps in a certain order, but you might need to go back and forth between them. Balancing the thoroughness of the process with the available resources is crucial, and if you have to make …
Baseline Candidates: “Baseline candidates” are like different options or methods that you could use to achieve the same result in your project. These options could be various technologies or practices. Geographic Area and Temporal Range: The procedures focus on a specific location (geographic area) and time frame (temporal range). This means you’re considering options that …
The Project Protocol presents two procedures for estimating baseline emissions associated with a project activity’s primary effect: the project-specific and performance standard procedures. This blog provides brief guidance on when one procedure may be preferable to the other. Requirements For each primary effect associated with a project activity the project developer shall select and justify …
Identifying Project Activities Project Activity: A project activity is like a specific action or step taken to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHGs are gases like carbon dioxide and methane that contribute to global warming. GHG Reductions: The goal of each project activity is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the environment. …

Imagine you have a project that’s meant to reduce the amount of harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) released into the environment. To accurately measure how much it helps, you need to consider everything that’s directly and indirectly affected by the project. Here’s the breakdown in simple terms: Identify the Project Activities: First, pinpoint exactly what your …

This blog talks about six principles that are meant to be the foundation for accounting, measuring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in projects. These principles are like fundamental rules that should be followed in all aspects of handling data related to the reduction of greenhouse gases in a project. The main goal of these …
“GHG project accounting” refers to keeping track of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from various projects. Now, when we say “involves making decisions that directly relate to policy choices faced by GHG programs,” it means that while tracking these emissions, certain decisions need to be made. These decisions are connected to the policies set by GHG …
A number of key concepts must be understood to account for GHG reductions from GHG projects. This blog explains the importance of these concepts and describes how and where they are used in Project Protocol. GHG Project A GHG project is a specific action or a series of actions designed to do one of three …
Project Protocol – Introduction The GHG Protocol for Project Accounting is a set of rules and guidelines that helps measure and report the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or the increase in removals and storage of these gases. These reductions come from projects designed to combat climate change. Imagine different projects around the world …
