KHG JALAJÄLJE HINDAMISE JUHEND PFC-d N₂O CH₄ HFC-d NF₃ SF₆ CO₂

This guide, commissioned by the Estonian Ministry of the Environment and prepared by the Stockholm Environment Institute Tallinn Centre, provides a methodological framework for organisations in Estonia to calculate their corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. It is based on international standards, primarily the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, and includes a specific database of emission factors developed for the Estonian context.

• The guidance is designed for companies and organisations to assess their corporate GHG footprint, but it can also be applied to projects, events, and other activities with defined boundaries.
• The methodology is grounded in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and ISO 14064 standards. The GHG Protocol provides a global framework through its Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Scope 2 Guidance, and Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, while ISO 14064 specifies minimum requirements for the GHG assessment process.
• GHG emissions are categorised into three scopes: Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., company vehicles, boilers); Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity, heat, cooling); and Scope 3 covers other indirect emissions in the value chain, divided into upstream (e.g., purchased goods, business travel) and downstream (e.g., transport of sold products, product use).
• The document provides a specific database of emission factors for Estonia, based on the 2022 GHG inventory report and IPCC AR4 data. This includes factors for heat and electricity production, vehicle fuels, and waste management to ensure consistency in calculations for Estonian organisations.
• The guide outlines a step-by-step process for GHG assessment: 1) defining goals and needs, 2) defining scope (organisational, temporal, and GHG types), 3) data collection, 4) calculation, 5) reporting results, 6) planning avoidance and reduction measures, 7) verification, and 8) voluntary compensation.
