Implementing Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management Systems for Economic Zones in China

This policy brief outlines the necessity and implementation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory management systems for economic zones in China to support the transition to low-carbon operations. It emphasizes a collaborative approach between managing authorities and companies to establish reporting systems that support carbon trading, absolute caps, and performance standards.

• GHG inventories for industrial and commercial facilities are fundamental to transitioning to low-carbon operations because they allow for the identification of abatement opportunities and the measurement of progress toward facility-level GHG targets.
• An effective GHG inventory system requires frequent, accurate, consistent, complete, and transparent reporting to ensure the success of low-carbon policies.
• The document proposes a collaborative approach between economic zone authorities and member companies to develop emission inventories that comply with 'program rules,' which may include carbon trading, performance standards, or absolute caps derived from national or regional directives.
