International Workshop on GHG Protocol Based Programs Accounting
International Workshop on GHG Protocol Based Programs Accounting & Quantification CII – Godrej GBC, Hyderabad
CII’s Experience with GHG Protocol § India GHG Program • Corporate GHG Accounting & Reporting standard § GHG Emission Inventorization in Indian industry • Facilitating Inventorization in several sectors Ø Cement, Power, Engineering, Chemical industries Ø 24 Facilities, 35 Million T of GHG inventorized • Capacity building programs © Confederation of Indian Industry
Methodologies § GHG Protocol methodologies adopted • No issues faced / foreseen § Several other Indian companies • GHG emission Inventorization through internal efforts • Methodologies understood clearly § Overall approach & action clearly defined © Confederation of Indian Industry
Emission Factors § Major area of concern • Non-availability of country specific data Ø Coal Ø Logistics – Surface, rail, aviation & shipping • Largely dependent on IPCC / other international emission factors Ø Requires significant effort in adopting right factors • Wherever CII established emission factors Ø Large variation from IPCC values © Confederation of Indian Industry ~ 4 -10%
Emission Factors § Not much efforts happening at Country level too • Requires concerted efforts of several stakeholders • Time, effort & resources strain § Major deterrent in scaling up GHG emission Inventorization activities in India § Need of the hour – to develop country specific emission factors © Confederation of Indian Industry
Organizational Boundary § Operational Control – widely adopted • Several reasons Ø General management structure - Operational control Ø Most easily understood & adopted § General practice • Start with facility level Inventorization • Scale up to corporate level © Confederation of Indian Industry
GHG Protocol Tools § Excel based tools • Require deep understanding before use Ø Not very user friendly • Wherever CII has facilitated Inventorization Ø Tool not adopted ipso facto § Need to develop user-friendly software tools • Cross sector & sector specific © Confederation of Indian Industry
Scope 3 emissions § India GHG program insists on Scope 3 reporting too § Several discussions / deliberations while accounting • Present accounting largely based on individuals interpretation § Significant opportunity to standardize broad based approach © Confederation of Indian Industry
To sum up § GHG Protocol being widely adopted in India § Actions needed • Need to develop country specific emission factors • Develop user-friendly GHG Protocol tools Ø Cross sector & sector specific • Standardization of Scope 3 emissions Ø Raw material & finished good Logistics – where to stop? © Confederation of Indian Industry
