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 • Cement, Power, Engineering, Chemical industries • 24 Facilities, 35 Million T of GHG inventorized • Capacity building programs
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
Emission Factors • Major area of concern • Non-availability of country specific data • Coal • Logistics – Surface, rail, aviation & shipping • Largely dependent on IPCC / other international emission factors • Requires significant effort in adopting right factors • Wherever CII established emission factors • Large variation from IPCC values ~ 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
Organizational Boundary • Operational Control – widely adopted • Several reasons • General management structure - Operational control • Most easily understood & adopted • General practice • Start with facility level Inventorization • Scale up to corporate level
GHG Protocol Tools • Excel based tools • Require deep understanding before use • Not very user friendly • Wherever CII has facilitated Inventorization • Tool not adopted ipso facto • Need to develop user-friendly software tools • Cross sector & sector specific
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
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 • Cross sector & sector specific • Standardization of Scope 3 emissions • Raw material & finished good Logistics – where to stop?
