Guidelines for Quantifying GHG Reductions from Grid-Connected Electricity Projects

The guidelines serve as a supplement to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Project Accounting, offering a program-neutral framework for project developers and program designers to account for GHG reductions and derive marginal grid emission factors.

• The guidelines are designed to assist project developers in quantifying GHG reductions for activities that are not part of a specific regulatory system or GHG offset program.
• The document provides guidance for designers of programs and systems to determine the GHG emissions avoided or displaced by project activities by deriving marginal grid emission factors.
• The guidelines are intended to be flexible and neutral regarding specific policies or programs while maintaining a rigorous and transparent accounting of GHG reductions.
