Implementing Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management Systems for Economic Zones in China

The document outlines the necessity of greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory systems for industrial and commercial facilities in China's low-carbon economic zones. It proposes a collaborative framework between zone authorities and member companies to implement inventory planning, development, and reporting, which serves as the foundation for carbon trading, absolute caps, and performance standards. The brief also addresses typical barriers and gaps encountered during the implementation of these systems.

• Greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories for industrial and commercial facilities are essential for transitioning to low-carbon operations because they allow for the identification of abatement opportunities and the measurement of progress toward facility-level targets.
• An effective GHG inventory system must ensure reporting is frequent, accurate, consistent, complete, and transparent to support the success of low-carbon policies.
• The proposed approach for developing emission inventories is designed to support various program rules, including performance standards, absolute caps, and carbon trading, whether these originate from national directives or regional initiatives.
