EPRI has been engaged in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting for more than 20 years. During this time, EPRI has assisted member electric companies to develop and report comprehensive corporate GHG emissions inventories and taken part in expert working groups focused on improving GHG accounting and reporting for electric companies and combined utilities.
This Technology Innovation (TI) program Quick Insight (QI) explores how large commercial and industrial (C&I) electricity consumers account for and report the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embedded in the electricity they buy to operate their businesses, and existing and emerging approaches that companies can use to reduce these emissions. It is intended to provide a quick overview and point to additional technical resources for senior executives and managers responsible for GHG emissions accounting, sustainability reporting, and corporate decarbonization strategy. To address the challenges described in this QI, EPRI plans to expand our current GHG emissions accounting research activities in 2024 and beyond to assist EPRI members with navigating this complex and rapidly evolving area.
