Carbon Accounting and E-Liability as Tools for Reducing GHGs

Greenhouse gas emissions or, as it is also called, carbon footprint is a fundamental component of the overall sustainability performance of any organisation. Measuring Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHGs) involves quantifying the amount of GHGs released into atmosphere as a result of operations directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a company.  As carbon accounting is becoming mandatory across many regions, we created a course that will help you navigate this subject.

The course provides a brief overview of the key voluntary and mandatory disclosure regulations that require reporting of the greenhouse gases. It defines carbon accounting concepts, explains which data and calculation methods are required in order to  calculate the GHG emissions.

In this course you will explore examples of GHG inventories and sustainability reports so that you feel comfortable understanding and analysing GHG emissions data in these reports. We will discuss key carbon accounting standards, mostly focusing on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology. At the same time we will look at the criticisms of this standard and the solutions that are proposed by the academics from Harvard and Oxford, specifically focussing on E-Liability accounting method and how it drives GHG reductions across value chains and helps with competitiveness and product differentiation based on carbon intensity.

The course is structured in a way that is gives you an insight into the process disregarding the size of the business or the industry, but if you want to dig deeper, we will provide you with additional reading materials by sector. We will briefly touch the question of how technologies and software can help you with the carbon accounting process automation and what you need to pay attention to when choosing the software. And we will also talk about existing collaboration initiatives that you might want to join to get support/benchmarking for your carbon reporting and GHG reduction activities.
