๐๏ธ Group Activity Title: #
Developing a GHG Inventory Report According to ISO 14064-1:2018
๐ฏ Learning Objectives: #
By the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Structure a complete GHG Inventory Report following the guidance in Annex F of ISO 14064-1:2018.
- Apply Clause 9.1 to 9.3 to ensure required and recommended reporting elements are included.
- Justify key reporting content such as boundaries, emission factors, uncertainties, and base year.
๐งพ Scenario for Group Work: #
- Each group has completed their GHG quantification (from the previous activity).
- Now, they must produce a GHG Inventory Report that reflects their findings using the reporting structure in Annex F.
- The report must meet the completeness, consistency, accuracy, relevance, and transparency requirements of Clause 9.1.
๐ Materials Provided: #
- Completed Excel sheets and results from previous GHG quantification activity.
- Clause 9.1โ9.3 from ISO 14064-1:2018.
- A GHG Inventory Report Outline Template (provided as Word or Google Docs format if needed).
๐ฅ Group Instructions: #
๐ Step 1: Plan the Report (Clause 9.2) #
Document the following for your organization:
- Purpose and intended use of the GHG report
- Report structure, frequency, and data types used
- Disclosure, dissemination policy, and roles involved
๐ Step 2: Structure the Report as per Annex F #
Your report must include the following sections (based on 9.3.1 Required Information):
- Introduction
- Organization name, reporting period, and responsible person
- Purpose and intended use of the GHG inventory
- Organizational Boundaries (Clause 5.1)
- Method used (Control or Equity Share) and list of included facilities
- Reporting Boundaries (Clause 5.2)
- Classification and criteria used for direct and indirect emissions
- GHG Emissions Summary Table
- Separate rows for each source
- Separate columns for scope 1, 2, and 3 (if applicable)
- Totals in tCOโe
- Base Year Selection (Clause 6.4.1), if applicable
- Document base year used (first year of reporting)
- Quantification Methodology (Clause 6.2, Clause 6.3)
- Activity data + Emission factors (with reference)
- Tools or models used (Clause 6.2.3)
- Exclusions & Justifications
- Any excluded emissions or facilities and why (Clause 5.2.3)
- Uncertainty & Quality Assessment (Clause 8.3)
- How uncertainty was evaluated and managed
- Verification Disclosure (Clause 9.3.1(rโs)) โ optional unless done
- Annexes (optional)
- Emission factor sources, raw data tables, additional charts
โ Step 3: Add Recommended & Optional Information (Clause 9.3.2 & 9.3.3) #
If time permits, enrich your report with:
- GHG mitigation strategies, offsets, or credits
- Comparison to prior years or benchmarks (if applicable)
๐ Deliverables: #
Each group will:
- Submit a structured GHG Inventory Report (in Word or PDF)
- Present a 5-minute summary including:
- Their approach to GHG boundaries, quantification, and reporting
- Final emission results and recommendations
๐ Facilitator Notes: #
- Ensure groups address all points listed in Clause 9.3.1.
- Highlight the importance of traceability and transparency.
- Score based on structure, clarity, completeness, and alignment with ISO standard.
