This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) provides a framework and technical guidance for establishing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventory management systems within national-level economic and technological development zones in China. It details the processes for planning, developing, and managing GHG inventories to support low-carbon industrial transitions.

• The report establishes a three-stage framework for GHG inventory management in industrial parks: work planning, inventory development, and park management. This cyclical process is designed to measure, report, and verify emissions from 'covered entities', defined as "工业园区内须按要求采取温室气体减排措施并提交报告的工业或商业设施".
• Determining the scope of an inventory often involves setting an emission threshold. For example, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a regulation targeting enterprises with average annual emissions exceeding "13,000吨" of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).
• The report identifies two primary methods for allocating emission reduction targets: a 'top-down' approach, where targets are received from higher authorities (e.g., a 10% reduction from 2010 levels), and a 'bottom-up' approach, which considers individual enterprise costs and capacities to lower overall compliance costs.
• GHG quantification typically relies on the formula: Emission = Activity Data (AD) x Emission Factor (EF). The report notes that direct measurement of concentration and rate is rare; instead, calculations are usually based on "文献资料的排放因子".
• Verification of GHG data is generally conducted by independent third parties, with China's carbon trading pilot projects specifically utilizing "第三方核证". This process often follows the ISO 14064-3 standard to ensure data relevance, completeness, consistency, accuracy, and transparency.
